He would go on to hit a mammoth home run that seemed like it cleared the fence in left field by a mile (he would also go on to sign the Sano Snappers shirsey I was sporting after th...8467Sat, 28 Sep 2019 00:00:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/series-preview-one-more-time-r8468/Brief Overview: As one of the 100-loss teams in MLB, the Royals have quite nearly been as bad as the Twins have been good. Having four teams with 100 losses certainly can’t be healthy for the league, but until tanking loses its incentives, this will most certainly continue. Do not get it twisted a...8468Fri, 27 Sep 2019 14:45:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/the-twins-playoff-hopes-rely-on-the-three-t39s-r8457/In 2015, the Royals pioneered the strategy of five-and-dive starters, and allowed the pen to handle the rest. The merits of relievers now rests in the seventh through ninth innings, and given the Twins recent playoff demons that should bring nightmarish flashbacks. Bullpens are a focal point of p...8457Fri, 27 Sep 2019 03:00:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/dust-settles-but-bombas-never-will-for-2019-twins-r8466/On May 24 the Twins had just wrapped up a victory against the Chicago White Sox. They were 34-16 through their first 50 games and the club had swatted 101 homers. Dubbed “#SotaPop” by Twins Daily’s own Nick Nelson a month earlier, Eddie Rosario dropped a term that would stick the rest of the way....8466Fri, 27 Sep 2019 01:48:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/randy-dobnak-is-more-than-a-great-story-r8465/It's always fun to see an underdog rise to the major leagues in a Twins uniform — especially when they experience an unlikely wave of initial success. Willians Astudillo and Ryne Harper come to mind as recent examples. Fans may recall that Andrew Albers reached the big leagues in 2013, a few years...8465Fri, 27 Sep 2019 00:00:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/twins-game-recap-926-hangover-lineup-propels-minnesota-to-win-number-99-r8464/Box Score Smeltzer: 5 IP, 10 H, 3 ER, 0 BB, 4 K, 70% strikes (57 of 81 pitches) Bullpen: 4 IP, 3 H, 1 ER, 1 BB, 7 K Home Runs: Jonathan Schoop (23), Willians Astudillo (4) Multi-Hit Games: Ian Miller (2-for-5), Willians Astudillo (4-for-5), Jonathan Schoop (2-for-5), Jake Cave (2-for-5) Top 3 WPA:...8464Thu, 26 Sep 2019 20:19:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/2019-minnesota-twins-minor-league-all-stars-r8462/Today, we would like to announce our choices for 2019 Minnesota Twins All-Stars.

This is noteworthy both because they were the final at-bats of Baldelli's major-league career, and also because – about 1,000 miles north of Tampa on that same day – the Twins we...8461Thu, 26 Sep 2019 03:01:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/possible-roles-for-kyle-gibson-in-the-playoffs-r8459/The postseason roster for the Twins will likely be carrying twelve or thirteen pitchers, so Kyle Gibson will have a good shot to make it. There are eight locks to make it in (Rogers, Romo, Duffey, Littell, May, Berrios, Odorizzi, Dobnak).
