The Twins have little to play for as they are locked into the second Wild Card spot. Tuesday night will likely see the Twins face off against the Yankees in New York. Sano in the midst of his first...6128Fri, 29 Sep 2017 20:07:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/game-thread-twins-v-tigers-929-710pm-ct-r6126/1. Rochester – In this city of 112,224 human beings and 679,000 Canadian geese, health care takes center stage with a rather large clinic dedicated to the treatment of injuries involving Mayonnaise. Each year 1.3 million patients come to Rochester because of these Mayonnaise injuries. Most of thes...6126Fri, 29 Sep 2017 11:33:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/a-blueprint-for-the-bronx-r6123/On the season as a whole, Minnesota owns a 2-4 record and a -8 run differential against Joe Girardi’s squad. They did take the series at Target Field, but were swept on the road in September. A better road team over the full slate of games however, this group isn’t afraid to win anywhere.

The majority of the regulars got to take a day off. The focus for this weekend can switch from sprinting to the finish to tuning up for what’s next. Heck, Miguel Sano may even have the opportunity to test his...6125Thu, 28 Sep 2017 19:10:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/what-the-hell-just-happened-r6124/In mid-April, the Twins lost six of seven games in a week to division foes. In May, they lost five of six to Cleveland and Houston, which included one gut-wrenching loss and several drubbings. At the end of July they lost seven of eight and traded away a starting pitcher and their closer. Finally,...6124Thu, 28 Sep 2017 16:03:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/sox-win-twins-clinch-playoff-berth-r6122/For the first time since 2010, the Minnesota Twins will play in the playoffs. Most likely, they will be playing in New York against the Yankees next Tuesday. When Delmonico's home run landed, the Twins players erupted into a celebration. You have to feel good for these players and the coaching s...6122Thu, 28 Sep 2017 04:16:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/cle-4-min-2-twins-lose-clinch-postseason-berth-anyway-r6121/Snapshot (chart via Fangraphs) The Twins displayed their typical “no retreat, no surrender” mentality we’ve seen all season, but their comeback effort fell short. Entering the ninth inning, the Twins had just a pair of doubles and a walk, all of which came with two outs. It was another impressiv...6121Thu, 28 Sep 2017 02:42:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/the-falvey-and-levine-machine-r6120/But the more striking narrative here pertains to the duo's good fortune, rather than their miraculous intervention. Most often, baseball executives getting their first chances to lead a major-league front office are tasked with overhauling a complete mess. From the outside, that's what this looked...6120Thu, 28 Sep 2017 02:26:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/a-gedankenexperiment-beating-the-yankees-r6117/And so, I present the following gedankenexperiment: pick 25 Twins players, custom-picked to beat the Yankees in one game. It’s beyond our normal course of thought: suddenly a team doesn’t need a full rotation on the 25-man roster, or a full complement of a bench or bullpen. But what does one do wi...6117Wed, 27 Sep 2017 04:42:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/min-8-cle-6-twins-use-team-record-10-pitchers-in-victory-r6116/Snapshot (chart via Fangraphs) Dozier led off the game with a double high off the left field wall, came around to score the first run and finished 3-for-5 with that three-run homer, his 33rd, and three runs scored.

Ohio – With an equal mix of Republicans andDemocrats, every 4 years the state of Ohio gets to decide who the President of the United States will be.

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 +0000
