The Twins continued on their hot start in May with a 19-win month to try to stay at the top of the division. This month had a few injuries and roster moves than the first month so let's see how everything went for the Twins. Today’s post...9131Sat, 21 Mar 2020 19:30:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/who-are-the-5-best-hitters-in-minnesota-twins-history-r9128/5. Joe Mauer Seasons with Minnesota: 15 Batting line: .306/.388/.439 Drafted first overall in 2001, Mauer, the hometown kid, had high expectations entering the big leagues. He certainly delivered. From 2004 to 2010, Mauer hit a ridiculous .327/.407/.481 with 81 home runs in 836 games. He won the M...9128Sat, 21 Mar 2020 02:45:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/what%E2%80%99s-next-for-lewis-thorpe-r9120/Three possibilities come to mind, with the first seeming the most likely, so we’ll start there. In this scenario, Thorpe begins the season starting in AAA Rochester where he provides rotational depth for the Twins. Although certainly disappointing for Thorpe, it’s not as if he has nothing left to...9120Fri, 20 Mar 2020 23:00:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/from-twinsdaily-falvey-and-st-peter-looking-for-answers-r9129/https://twitter.com/twinsdaily/status/1240723361791184897 https://twitter.com/twinsdaily/status/1240724172550045702 https://twitter.com/twinsdaily/status/1240725713474502656 https://twitter.com/twinsdaily/status/1240726102378766338 https://twitter.com/twinsdaily/status/1240726352648642560 https://...9129Fri, 20 Mar 2020 17:40:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/deal-or-no-deal-how-could-the-covid-19-delay-affect-the-trade-deadline-r9127/Traditionally, baseball’s July 31st deadline is exactly four months, or 57%, into the baseball season. These four months are crucial for clubs to decide their moves to best prepare for the postseason, and these trades have been critical for teams’ performances in the postseason in recent years.

The Reds had Pete Rose on the Expos. Here are the three Minnesota Twins legends who wore uniforms that just looked wrong… 1. Harmon Killebrew on the Kansas City Royals After struggling through the 1974 season with a .222 batting average in 122 gam...9126Fri, 20 Mar 2020 14:00:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/the-2019-twins-bullpen-could-have-been-historic-r9124/The 2019 Twins had a great bullpen that took a little time to sort out. Once pitchers like Cody Stashak and Zack Littell took over and replaced the old guard, the pen became one of the best in all of baseball. Well, until the gas ran out in the postseason, but it’s best to forget such things.

Prior to MLB developing their own “RBI Baseball,” competition was nonexistent (and to be fair, even with RBI, it still is).

The league also swung at the first pitch more often, on average, than it had in any season since 2001. The Twins rode that rising tide, and even helped steer it: no A...9121Thu, 19 Mar 2020 01:00:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/full-minnesota-twins-2020-season-simulation-april-r9118/As you all know, we almost certainly will not be getting 162 games of baseball this season but I wanted to see what would happen if we did.
