It capped off a tremendous back-and-forth World Series that might be the best World Series in history (See Kirby Puckett Region below). Jack Morris pitched 10-shutout innings on the...9245Thu, 16 Apr 2020 01:30:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/the-minnesota-twins-all-speed-team-r9229/We’ll work our way around the diamond using some highly scientific methods, which I’ll leave to the imagination of the reader, to find the fastest Minnesota Twin to fill out each position. But first I must offer my sincerest apologies to all of you Clyde Milan enthusiasts out there as we’re not in...9229Wed, 15 Apr 2020 02:00:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/quick-hitter-looking-back-at-a-twins-pitcher39s-unprecedented-2005-season-r9236/On Monday, Zone Coverage writer Brandon Warne posted the following tweet: https://twitter.com/Brandon_Warne/status/1249752782015430659 Anyway, I bit on Brandon’s bait and looked up his strikeout rate and was truly shocked by what I found. 7.7-percent.

Maybe you can include certain broadcasters (I’m looking at you John Smoltz), but the decisions suggested and made often have a far-fetched alterati...9238Wed, 15 Apr 2020 01:00:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/you39re-going-to-love-watching-baseball-this-year-r9237/This is not a negotiation between the MLB and MLBPA. They’re mostly aligned over trying to find their path to an enormous pot of money. Both will need to give up something dear to them. The owners will need to give up stadium revenues, because these games can’t be played in front of crowds.

At the time Sievers was viewed as the type of player that would hopefully push the White Sox over the top for the pennant.
