Yes, I re-watched both films and meticulously scouted all the players in preparation for writing this. If you're at all a fan of either classic baseball flick, I think you'll enjoy. There are some liberties taken with timelines, but the idea is that this game takes place in late...9262Wed, 22 Apr 2020 01:43:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/my-experience-as-a-twins-fan-in-the-land-of-smiles-r9256/Although baseball has a long and rich tradition in Asian countries such as Japan, South Korea, and most recently Taiwan (where they’re now playing games) it hasn’t exactly taken off in the Southeast region. After some googling, I learned that some form of youth baseball is played in Bangkok, but I...9256Wed, 22 Apr 2020 01:30:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/five-biggest-bomba-squad-blasts-r9261/The Twins have been no stranger to the deep fly. Thome’s massive launch was projected at 590 ft by the Twins (though that would seem a bit lofty given the landing spot and other projections). ByungHo Park reached Minnie and Paul’s, while Giancarlo Stanton nearly lefty the yard entirely during the...9261Wed, 22 Apr 2020 01:00:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/connections-are-numerous-between-kirby-puckett-and-michael-jordan-r9258/Both Kirby Puckett and Michael Jordan made their professional debuts in 1984 and both were joining teams that had struggled in recent years. 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 +0000
