His poor play corresponded with some of the worst seasons in Twins history. This made him an easy target for fans looking for someone to blame for the team's poor results on the field. While many would c...6057Wed, 06 Sep 2017 04:30:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/tb-2-min-1-too-little-too-late-r6058/Snapshot (chart via Fangraphs) The Twins sure ran into Jake Odorizzi at the wrong time. Over his previous three starts, the right-hander gave up 13 runs over 12.1 innings, but the streaky starter found his groove Tuesday night. Odorizzi held the Twins hitless into the seventh inning, and finishe...6058Wed, 06 Sep 2017 02:20:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/inexperienced-bullpen-gaining-valuable-experience-r6056/Trevor Hildenberger was the Twins Daily choice for Minor League Relief Pitcher of the Year in both 2015 and 2016. He was called up to the big leagues and debuted on June 23rd in Cleveland. That was just six days after another 26-year-old reliever, Alan Busenitz, made his debut for the Twins at Tar...6056Tue, 05 Sep 2017 22:00:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/tb-11-min-4-bullpen-lets-game-get-out-of-hand-r6055/Snapshot (chart via Fangraphs) The offense could muster only five hits and Jose Berrios gave up five runs over 5.0 innings. To be fair, the score was just 3-1 when Berrios was removed from the game. Things really fell apart once the bullpen took over. It took five different relievers to get thro...6055Tue, 05 Sep 2017 03:50:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/where-to-find-great-twins-content-r6053/For starters, let's get this out there: You don't need me to tell you what to read. You're smart enough to make that decision for yourself. These are simply my suggestions, with the underlying current being this: read everything!

Despite giving up a run and an early lead, Elizabethton bounced back to up six first-inning runs and never look back. Their offense was led by Kolton Kendrick who had three hits including a double and two-ru...6052Mon, 04 Sep 2017 20:32:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/game-thread-twins-rays-94610pm-ct-r6051/1. Tampa Bay – First off, it’s not a city. Tampa is a city, St. Petersburg is a city. Tampa Bay is a body of water filled with elderly shut-ins and bus people who ran out of money. It is one of the places where you have to drive north to be in the south. While in Florida, watch out for alligators....6051Mon, 04 Sep 2017 12:54:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/on-velvet-ropes-r6050/That philosophy is somewhat understandable. For a sports writer, Access is both a big part of the job and also one of the pain points. Hanging out in a locker room is mostly tedium, but writers are often required to be there in case news breaks. For instance, sometimes announcements are made regar...6050Mon, 04 Sep 2017 03:54:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/gleeman-amp-the-geek-ep-332-running-wild-r6049/http://traffic.libsyn.com/gleemangeek/9-3_FINAL.mp3?dest-id=745906049Mon, 04 Sep 2017 02:52:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/kc-5-min-4-what-even-is-a-swing-anyway-r6047/Snapshot (chart via Fangraphs) I took a quick look through the MLB official rule book, and guess what? There doesn’t appear to be an actual definition of a swing or check swing in there. How crazy is that? It’s basically all up to the individual umpires to determine what is an attempt to strike...6047Sun, 03 Sep 2017 23:25:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/min-17-kc-0-what-negative-run-differential-r6046/Snapshot (chart via Fangraphs) I’m sure Paul Molitor and his team heard the terms “Phythagorean win-loss record” and “negative run differential” enough to where those phrases are like nails on a chalkboard now. After tonight’s blowout win, maybe those won’t be such trigger terms for the club.

Slegers, who I assume will get consideration to replace Dillon Gee in the Twins rotation, struck out 10 batters over 6.2 innings. He gave...6044Sat, 02 Sep 2017 15:47:00 +0000
