The most obvious po...9524Tue, 07 Jul 2020 01:00:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/minnesota-twins-2020-schedule-released-r9529/Here’s a breakdown of what was known about the schedule going into Monday’s release: All teams will play 10 games against each team in their division, so 2/3rds of their schedule will be against division opponents. The other 20 games will be played against the corresponding regional division in t...9529Mon, 06 Jul 2020 22:22:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/gleeman-amp-the-geek-ep-482-ready-or-not-baseball33-r9526/*** Listen Now ***9526Mon, 06 Jul 2020 02:35:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/the-show-must-go-on-eliminated-r9525/To get caught up on what we're doing here, you can check out the introductory post in the series for an explanation of the premise and setup.

There is simply too much firepower there for anything that goes wrong this season to be a direct result of the lineup. Instead I believe there will be two “X Factors” to consider league wide.

He did not participate in the first workout at Target Field yesterday or on Saturday. There have not been any specific reports on how Miguel is feeling, but we wish him the very best in his recovery.

As part of the shortened 60-game schedule, the Twins will play 20 interleague games against NL Central opponents, with 10 of those games coming on the road. In past years, the Twins would...9522Sat, 04 Jul 2020 14:30:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/we39re-back-the-opening-day-lineup-for-the-twins-r9520/1. Luis Arraez, 2B Since 1950, three rookies with at least 350 plate appearances have hit .320 or higher in their age-22 or younger season: Luis Arraez hit .334 in 2019. Albert Pujols hit .329 in 2001. Mike Trout hit .326 in 2012. Batting average can be misleading. A player who hits .330 with a .3...9520Sat, 04 Jul 2020 02:00:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/breaking-records-in-a-60-game-season-r9516/The shortened-nature of the 2020 season gives increased opportunity for some of baseball’s cherished records to fall. Counting stats that accumulate throughout the season are obviously safe, but stats such as Batting Average or Earned Run Average are very susceptible to the small sample size of ju...9516Sat, 04 Jul 2020 01:00:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/astudillo-tests-postiive-for-covid-19-in-quarantine-r9521/In a zoom meeting with media on Friday afternoon, Derek Falvey mentioned that Willians Astudillo and one other Twins player had tested positive for COVID-19 during the intake process (players reporting and being tested). Astudillo is in Minneapolis. "He is presently asymptomatic, feeling fine.

Each had already been knocking on the door and 2020 seemed logical prior to the change in circumstances. Given his ceiling and less than consistent 2019, Ro...9518Fri, 03 Jul 2020 01:00:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/the-show-must-go-on-alds-preview-twins-vs-rays-r9515/To get caught up on what we're doing here, you can check out the introductory post in the series for an explanation of the premise and setup.
