Last year, he surrendered only 15 long balls in 145 innings. His 0.93 HR/9 rate was best among Twins starters, and would have placed him a...</description><guid isPermaLink="false">6645</guid><pubDate>Thu, 19 Apr 2018 14:13:00 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Cooperstown Case: Helping Joe Mauer&#x2019;s Hall Chances</title><link>https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/cooperstown-case-helping-joe-mauer%E2%80%99s-hall-chances-r6644/</link><description>Chasing 3000
The 3,000 hit mark has been a magical threshold for players to get into Cooperstown. Out of Hall of Fame eligible players, only two players with over 3,000 hits have failed to be enshrined. Pete Rose has been banned from baseball and Rafael Palmeiro tested positive for a banned substa...</description><guid isPermaLink="false">6644</guid><pubDate>Thu, 19 Apr 2018 12:39:00 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>MIN 2, CLE 1: Berrios Stars, LaMarre Plays Hero as Twins Survive 16-Inning Duel</title><link>https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/min-2-cle-1-berrios-stars-lamarre-plays-hero-as-twins-survive-16-inning-duel-r6643/</link><description>Snapshot (chart via FanGraphs)
That&#x2019;s right, the Sire of Fort Myers became the Hero of Puerto Rico tonight. LaMarre came off the bench and delivered three hits, including the game winner.

Odorizzi was really good &#x2026; until he wasn&#x2019;t.
He held Cleveland scoreless through 4 2/3 innings and had six strikeouts, then he gave up a double and a home run before recording the final out of the fifth. He came back out for the sixth and served up homers to the firs...</description><guid isPermaLink="false">6640</guid><pubDate>Wed, 18 Apr 2018 02:40:00 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>A Look Back To 2001: What If The Twins Drafted Mark Prior?</title><link>https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/a-look-back-to-2001-what-if-the-twins-drafted-mark-prior-r6639/</link><description>Back in 2009, Mark Potash of the Chicago Sun-Times opined, &#x201C;What looked like an incredible break - the Twins passing on Prior and taking the more &#x2018;signable&#x2019; Mauer with the #1-overall pick - has turned into yet another example of how fate seems to taunt the Cubs and Cubs fans.&#x201D;

So, I guess the question to ask is has Joe Mauer been a good performer in clutch? Let&#x2019;s find out.
