Romero pitched as well as anybody could have expected. The 23-year-old came into his major league debut with just 208 1/3 innings under his belt at the three highest levels of the minor leagues.
To put that into some perspective, Jose Berrios threw more...</description><guid isPermaLink="false">6704</guid><pubDate>Wed, 02 May 2018 20:03:00 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>TOR 7, MIN 4: WHAT IS HAPPENING!?!?!?</title><link>https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/tor-7-min-4-what-is-happening333333-r6701/</link><description>Snapshot (chart via FanGraphs)

New game, new thing to worry about. Let&#x2019;s turn our attention to Addison Reed.
Reed entered the eighth inning of this game with the Twins leading 4-3. He walked the leadoff man, gave up a double and then a sacrifice fly to tie it up. He managed to work out of the in...</description><guid isPermaLink="false">6701</guid><pubDate>Wed, 02 May 2018 04:09:00 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Can Fernando Romero Spark The Twins?</title><link>https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/can-fernando-romero-spark-the-twins-r6700/</link><description>BACKGROUND
Fernando Romero burst onto prospect rankings way back in 2013 when he went 2-0 with a 1.60 ERA and 47 strikeouts as an 18-year-old in the Gulf Coast League. Much more important than the numbers were the scouting reports which showed he was sitting in the mid-to-upper 90s with his fastba...</description><guid isPermaLink="false">6700</guid><pubDate>Wed, 02 May 2018 03:43:00 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Can History Repeat?

Of course, as you may recall, Minnesota also finished with a 9-15 April record in 2006. That team eventually kicked things into gear around midsummer, and wound up taking the division with 96...</description><guid isPermaLink="false">6698</guid><pubDate>Wed, 02 May 2018 02:06:00 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Something Has Clicked with Eduardo Escobar</title><link>https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/something-has-clicked-with-eduardo-escobar-r6697/</link><description>Throughout his time with the Minnesota Twins, Eduardo Escobar has always served in the role of a backup utility infielder. However, with the Twins inconsistency on the left-side of the infield over that time, Escobar has seen plenty of playing time.
In his last two seasons Escobar has been called...</description><guid isPermaLink="false">6697</guid><pubDate>Wed, 02 May 2018 01:45:00 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Sano to DL, Petit Promoted, Enns Designated, Kinley Returned</title><link>https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/sano-to-dl-petit-promoted-enns-designated-kinley-returned-r6696/</link><description>Sano experienced tightness in his left hamstring during Friday's game and sat out the last three contests. Eduardo Escobar is expected to shift over to third base while Ehrie Adrianza takes over at shortstop.
Sano's absence in the lineup has created a huge void.

Even more than the simple record, no one could be happy with the way that the team is playing.

Something clearly isn&#x2019;t right with Lynn. He walked five more batters over five innings Monday night, though I guess to be fair one of those was intentional. That gives him 23 walks in 23 2/3 innings so far this season. He walked five or more batters twice in 33 sta...</description><guid isPermaLink="false">6694</guid><pubDate>Tue, 01 May 2018 03:58:00 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Gleeman & The Geek, Ep 366: From Bad To Worse]]></title><link>https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/gleeman-amp-the-geek-ep-366-from-bad-to-worse-r6691/</link><description><![CDATA[http://traffic.libsyn.com/gleemangeek/4-29_FINAL.mp3?dest-id=74590

Ric Flair says &#x201C;to be the man, you&#x2019;ve got to beat the man.&#x201D; By that logic, we can also say &#x201C;to be the worst, you&#x2019;ve got to be beaten by the worst.&#x201D; It&#x2019;s difficult to even put into words how bad of a stretch this has been for the Twins
