From the side view, Smalley remarked that Morrison&#x2019;s bat path, which works rearward before coming forward, was long and keeping him from catching up to the Yankees&#x2019;...</description><guid isPermaLink="false">6675</guid><pubDate>Thu, 26 Apr 2018 16:11:00 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Twins Catchers Quietly Struggling</title><link>https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/twins-catchers-quietly-struggling-r6674/</link><description>Before the 2017 season, the Twins signed Jason Castro to a three-year, $24 million deal. In 2017, he had easily his best offensive season since his All-Star season in 2013 with the Astros. Last year, Castro hit .242/.333/.388 (.720) with 22 doubles and ten home runs. While those aren&#x2019;t great numbe...</description><guid isPermaLink="false">6674</guid><pubDate>Thu, 26 Apr 2018 05:40:00 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>NYY 7, MIN 4: Lance Lynn Is a Dumpster Fire Right Now</title><link>https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/nyy-7-min-4-lance-lynn-is-a-dumpster-fire-right-now-r6673/</link><description>Snapshot (chart via FanGraphs)

Lynn was a starter for the Cardinals for five seasons. In his worst month over that span, August of 2012, he had a 6.66 ERA and 1.91 WHIP. In his very first month as a member of the Twins, Lynn has a 7.71 ERA and 2.04 WHIP.

Box Score
Adalberto Mejia got the start for the Red Wings but was lifted after just one inning of work. Despite allowing one run on three hits, Mejia was in the zone often throwing 15 strikes out of his 22 pitches.

Over his five-year minor league career, Kinley had averaged 3.5 BB/9.
It is quite apparent, early on, that Tyler Kinley is not a major league-ready pitcher, and that Paul Molitor has zero trust to use him in a...</description><guid isPermaLink="false">6668</guid><pubDate>Wed, 25 Apr 2018 02:40:00 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>NYY 8, MIN 3: Resistance is Futile</title><link>https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/nyy-8-min-3-resistance-is-futile-r6667/</link><description>Snapshot (chart via FanGraphs)

Berrios had his good stuff working, and it&#x2019;s not like he had control issues. Seven of the 12 outs he recorded were on strikeouts, he only walked two batters and 57 o his 93 pitches were strikes. The Yankees still managed to drive up Berrios&#x2019; pitch count and managed...</description><guid isPermaLink="false">6667</guid><pubDate>Wed, 25 Apr 2018 02:31:00 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Is it Time for a Roster Reshuffle?</title><link>https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/is-it-time-for-a-roster-reshuffle-r6666/</link><description>Pitching Problems
Minnesota&#x2019;s pitchers have the seventh worse ERA in the American League, which puts them in the middle of the pack. With the help of Jose Berrios, Twins starters have the fifth best ERA in the AL. However, Twins starters have pitched the fewest innings of any AL starting staff but...</description><guid isPermaLink="false">6666</guid><pubDate>Wed, 25 Apr 2018 00:30:00 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>NYY 14, MIN 1: What Did We Expect?</title><link>https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/nyy-14-min-1-what-did-we-expect-r6664/</link><description>Snapshot (chart via FanGraphs)

The Twins got crushed, fell below .500 and have three more games to play at Yankee Stadium. At least Brian Dozier extended his season-opening hitting streak, I guess.
The Yankees hit four homers and scored eight runs off the long ball.

Entering play on Monday, Dozier has hit in 23 straight games and he&#x2019;s batting .378 (37-for-98) during that stretch. Dozier&#x2019;s 16-game hitting streak to start the season allowed him to pass Kirby Puckett and Josh Willingham for longest in club history to start a season.
