In an age in which most of the league is moving away from sinkers and toward four-seam fastballs, Rogers is a sinkerballer. More unusually still, he throws two distinct breaking balls, a slider and a curveball. As I wrote in May, he’s better-su...9761Tue, 25 Aug 2020 00:00:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/twins-notebook-824-twins-begin-crucial-series-in-cleveland-r9763/Yesterday’s Game Recap MIN 5, KC 4 : Bullpen Steps Up Again Today Twins @ Indians, 6:10 pm CDT Betting Line: MIN -120, CLE +100, O/U: 8.5 Twins Starter: Kenta Maeda, RHP 2.27 ERA Kenta Maeda is coming off the best start by a Twins pitcher in quite some time and it was arguably the best start of M...9763Mon, 24 Aug 2020 17:00:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/gleeman-amp-the-geek-ep-489-the-walking-and-winning-wounded-r9760/Listen Now9760Mon, 24 Aug 2020 01:34:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/what-happened-to-jorge-polanco39s-sota-pop-r9759/Polanco takes the majority of his plate appearances from the left side and that’s where he put up most of his power numbers in 2019 -- including 16 of his home runs, 30 of his doubles and six of his triples -- so this analysis will focus on that batter’s box.

Through his first 13 games, Sano had a dreadful .111/.149/.356 slash line.
