Garver has caught nine games, played once at DH and served as a PH twice, while Wilson has caught eight games himself.
This seems odd.
Garver is clearly an upgrade over Wilso...</description><guid isPermaLink="false">6795</guid><pubDate>Fri, 25 May 2018 15:00:00 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Game Thread: Twins @ Mariners, 5/25 @ 9:10pm CT</title><link>https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/game-thread-twins-mariners-525-910pm-ct-r6797/</link><description>There is precedence for this objective because the game threads used to be a sanctuary from the overly disappointed and they used to be against the grain of some very painful (out of contention by June) seasons.

Nick Gordon is the most interesting case right now. Ehire Adrianza is doing everything he can to play his way out of a regular gig. Maybe that takes care of itself if Miguel Sano returns this weekend, but should that timeline get pushed back at all, you've gotta think it's worth giving...</description><guid isPermaLink="false">6785</guid><pubDate>Wed, 23 May 2018 16:00:00 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>MIN 6, DET 0: Lynn Shows Will to Win</title><link>https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/min-6-det-0-lynn-shows-will-to-win-r6788/</link><description>Snapshot (chart via FanGraphs)

Lynn left the mound shaking his head and screaming into his mitt. With two outs in the seventh inning, he hit a batter on a first-pitch curveball. With Lynn approaching 100 pitches, Garvin Alston went out to the mound for a brief visit.

Terry Ryan's extension for Hughes in December of 2014, with two years still remaining on the pitcher's contract, was an ill-advised one.
It now will cost the Pohlads, who may be able recoup some of the money through insurance (though I've seen nothing to that effect as of yet)...</description><guid isPermaLink="false">6784</guid><pubDate>Tue, 22 May 2018 04:40:00 +0000</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
