While it would be great if the Twins could clinch a playoff spot at home this weekend, it's pretty cool that they are likely to clinch a playoff spot in Cleveland. Or anywhere. Let's not forget where this team came from. Last year...6115Tue, 26 Sep 2017 12:06:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/min-10-det-4-deja-vu-all-over-again-r6112/Snapshot (chart via Fangraphs) The Twins jumped out to a 5-0 lead by the top of the fifth inning, making for a pretty low-stress Sunday afternoon for the club. Detroit scored twice in the bottom of the fifth, but the Twins answered with a five-run sixth inning. The Twins collected 12 hits, two...6112Sun, 24 Sep 2017 22:42:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/episode-335-magic-number-ride-r6111/http://traffic.libsyn.com/gleemangeek/Episode_335_Magic_Number.mp3?dest-id=745906111Sun, 24 Sep 2017 21:34:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/charting-a-twins-playoff-rotation-r6110/As long as the Twins avoid total collapse in the final week, they will be able to wrap up a pretty cool distinction as the first team ever to qualify for the postseason one year after losing 100-plus games. But while it would technically count as a playoff appearance, the Twins won't really be in...6110Sun, 24 Sep 2017 21:32:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/min-10-det-4-twins-blow-out-tigers-bullpen-r6109/Snapshot (chart via Fangraphs) Brian Dozier led this one off with a “home run” of sorts, but not the type of leadoff homer we’re used to seeing from Dozier. He bunted and circled the bases on a throwing error. https://twitter.com/fsnorth/status/911719818121773056 Ervin Santana went 7.0 innings a...6109Sun, 24 Sep 2017 02:14:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/escobar-steps-up-r6108/There are many reasons that the Twins are in this position. Nick wrote last week that everyone has contributed to a successful season. Today I wanted to highlight one player who has been very helpful to the Twins cause down the stretch. On August 19th, Miguel Sano fouled a ball off of his shin, an...6108Sat, 23 Sep 2017 14:43:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/min-7-det-3-gibson-offense-keep-rolling-r6107/Snapshot (chart via Fangraphs) Gibson held the Tigers to three runs over 7.0 innings. He gave up five hits, two of which were homers, and walked a pair of batters while striking out six. He also induced three double-play balls. He’s been a bit of a chameleon of late, mixing up his pitch selectio...6107Sat, 23 Sep 2017 02:34:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/min-12-det-1-once-again-the-twins-bounce-back-r6106/Snapshot (chart via Fangraphs) This team takes care of business. There have been about a dozen times where it seemed appropriate to count this club out over the course of the season, and while they’ve had their struggles against some of the top teams in the league, they’ve done an excellent job...6106Fri, 22 Sep 2017 03:06:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/twins-exhibit-as-a-flawed-but-fearsome-foe-r6105/With just a handful of games left in the 2017 Major League Baseball season, the playoff race yet to be decided has come down to the Twins and the Los Angeles Angels. Despite the slimmest of margins (1.5 games to be exact), Minnesota has a more favorable path to postseason baseball.

Baltimore is the one team that has fallen back. They are now 5.5 games back. Of course, being four games back with 20 games to play is very different than being four games back with ten games to play.
