The Twins had a record of 171-262 (.394 W-L%) during the three seasons prior to Puckett’s debut. The Bulls were even worse in the years leading to Jordan’s a...9258Tue, 21 Apr 2020 02:30:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/the-player-rob-manfred-should-be-trying-to-clone-for-each-2020-roster-r9260/Rob Manfred and Major League Baseball will have coronavirus to thank when the 2020 MLB season isn’t marked only by the effects of the Astros and unresolved Red Sox sign-stealing sagas in history books. Even so, there is one player from baseball and Minnesota Twins history that the commissioner may...9260Tue, 21 Apr 2020 02:15:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/will-sergio-romo-ever-pitch-in-the-majors-again-r9259/The persistent uncertainty over when (or if) MLB will have a season in 2020 continues to invite questions about the futures of almost every player, in various ways. One of the most serious and potentially painful forms these questions take pertains to longtime veterans in their late 30s. In the ca...9259Tue, 21 Apr 2020 01:30:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/the-show-must-go-on-first-place33-barely-r9257/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. But the quick version is this: We're playing a progressive simulated Twins season on MLB The Show 20 on PS4, and y'all are helping guide the ship. In each...9257Mon, 20 Apr 2020 02:18:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/goodbye-eddie-r9254/By now you’ve seen Eddie Rosario’s image on the article and are saying to yourself “Eddie Rosario is under contract until 2022”. You’re correct. Technically. There are a few things to consider however. 2020 is Eddie’s second year going through the arbitration process, a system that gives consisten...9254Sun, 19 Apr 2020 01:00:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/an-analysis-of-the-minnesota-twins39-health-during-the-2019-season-r9255/But how about in terms of health? One may assume that the Twins were pretty successful in that domain as well - after all, it’s pretty difficult to win over 100 games without the team’s best players remaining healthy for the majority of the season (the 2019 New York Yankees notwithstanding). But...9255Sat, 18 Apr 2020 17:00:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/can-i-interest-you-in-a-four-man-rotation-r9241/With the increased volatility of a shortened season a four-man rotation could potentially strengthen a team by allowing its best starters to pitch more often. The decreased workload caused by fewer games would theoretically allow pitchers to pitch on less rest while still throwing fewer pitches t...9241Sat, 18 Apr 2020 02:00:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/episode-16-get-to-know-the-1970s-twins-with-patrick-reusse-r9252/The Twins had some solid-to-mediocre seasons in the 1970s, generally within a few games of .500 in either direction. However, there were several really great players, members of the Twins Hall of Fame and even members of baseball's Hall of Fame in Cooperstown. In addition, they had several players...9252Fri, 17 Apr 2020 04:51:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/let39s-remember-some-guys-r9251/Remembering Some Guys is a subtle art. An eligible player should have been with the team for a decent time (maybe a year or two) but was otherwise not notable in their playing or persona. While someone like Lew Ford would fit the description through his mostly unremarkable play, he is infamous amo...9251Fri, 17 Apr 2020 02:00:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/twins-flashback-carew-oliva-power-twins-to-a-9th-inning-rally-against-the-pilots-4161969-r9244/Twins 6, Seattle 4 Box Score Chance: 5 IP, 3 H, 3 R, 2 ER, 5 BB, 2 K Home Runs: none Multi-hit games: Carew (4-for-5, two 2B), Oliva (3-for-4, RBI, BB), Cardenas (2-for-4, RBI, BB) Top 3 WPA: Reese .344, Oliva .266, Carew .175 The Twins opened the 1969 season with a seven road game sequence, five...9244Fri, 17 Apr 2020 01:30:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/the-greatest-twins-season-that-never-happened-r9249/The date is July 7, 2010. It’s the top of the eighth inning and Justin Morneau is playing in front of his home nation. After driving a single to center field off Scott Downs, Morneau finds himself a part of Jason Kubel’s 4-6-3 double play. Unfortunately, this one wasn’t routine.

Across three levels, he faced 321 batters (not counting the ALDS against the Yankees), struck out 99 of them, and walked just 10. He’s a...9243Thu, 16 Apr 2020 03:30:00 +0000
