They competed (Joe Mauer had one of his most epic ABs ever on Wednesday afternoon), and have given us zero reason this year to doubt their resiliency or resolve. But from the very start of the series, which commenced w...6102Wed, 20 Sep 2017 23:36:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/nyy-11-min-3-twins-crumble-at-yankee-stadium-again-r6101/Snapshot (chart via Fangraphs) Bartolo Colon struggled today and has been a mess of late. Over his last three starts, he's has given up 16 earned runs in 11 innings pitched. Today, Colon gave up six runs on seven hits, two of them home runs, over 3.1 innings pitched. What made matters worse was...6101Wed, 20 Sep 2017 22:25:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/searching-for-relief-r6100/(Incidentally, if you’re looking for a scenario in which the Twins blow this Wild Card lead – and Minnesotans are trained to do so - the easiest is that Trevor Hildenberger’s heavy usage results in him reverting to merely mortal. He’s never made more than 41 appearances in a season. Last year it w...6100Wed, 20 Sep 2017 12:44:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/nyy-5-min-2-tough-night-for-berrios-twins-r6099/Snapshot (chart via Fangraphs) Jose Berrios didn’t have his best game tonight. I doubt he’ll make excuses, but I’ll offer some up on his behalf. First off, the Yankees are always a tough team to pitch against. They’re so patient. Second, this was Jose’s first time pitching in Yankee Stadium.

I mean, it was really just a one-night stand, right? Anyway, the guy the Twins traded for and then traded away after just one start absolutely killed them tonight. Since the trade, Garcia had struggled to f...6096Tue, 19 Sep 2017 03:32:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/game-thread-twins-yankees-918605pm-ct-r6095/1. Neighborhoods – New York City is made up of collections of neighborhoods. You don’t simply get an apartment in New York, or even in Manhattan or Queens, you get a place in a specific neighborhood, like Flatbush or Hell’s Kitchen.

As you look up and down the roster, outside of rookie cups of coffee and spare bullpen parts, nearly every player has contributed in some type of positive way.
