If you watched this game, you’re either here because you’re glutton for punishment or you just came to voice your frustrations in the comments (if that’s the case, by all means do so). If you didn’t watch the game, first off congr...6683Sat, 28 Apr 2018 04:26:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/on-ryan-pressly39s-release-point-pitch-mix-r6681/Looking at Pressly’s vertical release points (which have natural variance over the course of the season) there was some splitting of his release points of his fastball and slider in May of 2017 (in which he put up an ERA of 11.00). In other words, his release points were getting further away from...6681Fri, 27 Apr 2018 17:05:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/game-thread-twins-v-reds-427-710pm-ct-r6680/1. Top Non-Trump News Story (Or Stories): I’m currently in Iowa and they don’t get news here. I think that is so they are not influenced by anything before they get to decide who the presidential candidates will be. Anyway, I’m a little behind on what has been happening around the world. All I can...6680Fri, 27 Apr 2018 11:26:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/searching-for-answers-on-trevor-hildenberger-r6678/Coming into the season, there were plenty of question marks surrounding the Twins bullpen, rebuilt in the wake of an unimpressive 2017 campaign. Hildenberger didn't seem to be one of them, at least not from my view. The formula he deployed very successfully as a rookie was an extremely reliable on...6678Fri, 27 Apr 2018 01:26:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/rodney-living-his-own-experience-r6677/On the season, Rodney has been called upon eight times. He’s converted two save attempts while taking two losses and three blown saves. After his latest go-round with the New York Yankees, in which he recorded no outs and gave up three runs (two earned) his ERA sits at an ugly 6.75 across 6 2/3 i...6677Fri, 27 Apr 2018 00:35:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/nyy-4-min-3-rodney-spoils-great-gibby-start-twins-swept-r6676/Snapshot (chart via FanGraphs) Good Gibby emerged again this afternoon. In fact, this may have been the best we’ve ever seen him. He carried a no-hitter into the sixth inning and ended the day with a career-high 10 strikeouts over six shutout innings. Gibson was really feeling the slider today....6676Thu, 26 Apr 2018 20:32:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/what39s-going-on-with-logan-morrison-r6675/During Wednesday night’s Fox Sports North broadcast, Roy Smalley homed in on Morrison’s swing on several occasions during the game. From the side view, Smalley remarked that Morrison’s bat path, which works rearward before coming forward, was long and keeping him from catching up to the Yankees’...6675Thu, 26 Apr 2018 16:11:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/twins-catchers-quietly-struggling-r6674/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’t great numbe...6674Thu, 26 Apr 2018 05:40:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/nyy-7-min-4-lance-lynn-is-a-dumpster-fire-right-now-r6673/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. So we’re not just seeing a bad version of...6673Thu, 26 Apr 2018 02:34:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/twins-minor-league-report-425-long-ball-highlights-early-action-r6672/RED WINGS REPORT Rochester 8, Gwinett 3 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. Mejia was lifted after throwing one pitch i...6672Wed, 25 Apr 2018 22:00:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/it%E2%80%99s-time-to-end-the-tyler-kinley-experiment-r6668/However, the problem with Kinley has always been his inability to control his 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...6668Wed, 25 Apr 2018 02:40:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/nyy-8-min-3-resistance-is-futile-r6667/Snapshot (chart via FanGraphs) Berrios had his good stuff working, and it’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’ pitch count and managed...6667Wed, 25 Apr 2018 02:31:00 +0000
