Mankato – This city of 41,000 was born at the confluence of the Minnesota and Blue Earth Rivers in the 1850’s. The rivers were important to development because steamboats were the fastest form of travel back then; hundreds of passengers could travel from Minneapolis to Mankato by getting off th...5934Thu, 03 Aug 2017 11:58:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/st-paul-saints-dog-days-playoff-push-r5929/Salina Stockade (July 21st-23rd) After their last rough patch of games, the Saints bounced back in a big way versus Salina, sweeping the Stockade in their only trip to CHS Field this season.

Santana gave up two runs on four hits and a walk. He lived in the strike zone all game, throwing 82 of his 110 pitches on the day for strikes. But that wasn’t all. Santana also did something that has been seemingly impossible for the regular lin...5930Thu, 03 Aug 2017 00:49:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/daily-twins-daily-august-2-2017-r5928/First: Can’t win games if you don’t score. A wise, old person said that once. Sure, there were positives. For instance, Jose Berrios took a no-hit bid into the sixth inning. And it was fast -- game over in 2 hours and 33 minutes. Ok. That’s about it. That’s the positive. If you didn’t stay up late...5928Wed, 02 Aug 2017 13:08:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/sdp-3-min-0-don%E2%80%99t-need-a-closer-if-you-can%E2%80%99t-score-r5927/Win Expectancy (via Fangraphs) This was an encouraging night for Berrios and Buxton, which in the big picture is really what’s important for the remainder of this season. Berrios gave up just one run over 7.0 two-hit innings. He walked two and struck out four, throwing just 75 pitches, 46 for st...5927Wed, 02 Aug 2017 07:15:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/gleeman-amp-the-geek-ep-326-trade-deadline-2017-r5926/http://traffic.libsyn.com/gleemangeek/Episode_326_Trade_Deadline_2017.mp3?dest-id=745905926Wed, 02 Aug 2017 04:16:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/twins-need-sagging-bats-to-rev-it-up-r5923/Derek Falvey and Thad Levine have put their plans to replenish the pitching pipeline into action, adding several young arms in recent weeks, but the Twins system now leans lopsidedly in that direction.

San Diego – The city is classy and kind of a big deal; things also can escalate quickly there. Men and Women have argued about what the name "San Diego" means but the truth is… the name was chosen by Sandy Duncan trying to claim ownership of her Eggo when someone else wouldn’t let go of it.
