The team won 89 or more games in six of the nine seasons. They took the Dodgers to Game 7 of the 1965 World Series. They had some batting championship, Pitchers of the Year, lots of home runs and gave Twins ba...</description><guid isPermaLink="false">9222</guid><pubDate>Fri, 10 Apr 2020 01:39:00 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Twins Greatest One Hit Wonders</title><link>https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/twins-greatest-one-hit-wonders-r9218/</link><description>When attempting to compile names for this list I couldn&#x2019;t help but enjoy the trip down memory lane. I&#x2019;m not big on re-watching previously completed sporting contests. The idea of the already known result isn&#x2019;t all that exciting to me. Specific plays or portions can be fun, but much of the programm...</description><guid isPermaLink="false">9218</guid><pubDate>Fri, 10 Apr 2020 01:00:00 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>What's Max Kepler's Next Step?</title><link>https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/what39s-max-kepler39s-next-step-r9215/</link><description>If the Twins expected anything more than they got from Max Kepler in 2019, they did so unfairly. He was a star, not only playing his usual, laudable right field, and not only filling in admirably in center field for Byron Buxton, but bashing his way to 36 home runs and a 126 DRC+, according to Ba...</description><guid isPermaLink="false">9215</guid><pubDate>Thu, 09 Apr 2020 03:00:00 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>5 Questions with Twins President Dave St. Peter</title><link>https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/5-questions-with-twins-president-dave-st-peter-r9210/</link><description>With one of the strongest rosters in baseball, the Twins were on the cusp of what looked to be a magical 2020 season. Now there are plenty of questions and not many answers about when and where baseball will return. Here are five questions with Twins President Dave St. Peter.

Here are some quotes from before the 2015 season&#x2026;

Since many of the &#x201C;starting nine&#x201D; are young and haven&#x2019;t accumulated tons of plate appearances the sample sizes are relatively small and AL Central heavy.

During the course of our discussion the Twins bullpen got brought up. In this space previously I wrote about how Minnesota may have the best bullpen in baseball.

At that level, he was able to make some adjustments that have impacted his career to this day. He&#x2019;s coming off his best professional season, so what can he do for an encore?

He also topped 700 plate appearances, for the only time in his career. For most of the season, he batted cleanup, although Billy Martin flipped Killebrew and Tony Oliva when the Twins faced left-handed pitchers. All told, Killebrew...</description><guid isPermaLink="false">9205</guid><pubDate>Tue, 07 Apr 2020 01:00:00 +0000</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
