In 2016, nothing went right for the Twins except for the power bat of Dozier. In launching 42 long balls on the year, he posted an incredible twenty-nine game August. With hits in all but three of those contests, he owned a .30...5961Fri, 11 Aug 2017 03:30:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/it39s-ok-to-get-excited-again-twins-fans33-r5960/There are a number of ways to look at the 2017 Minnesota Twins to try to figure out what they should do here in August. It’s clear that the team, at least not right now, should not sell off any additional players. At least not this week. But should they be buyers? Well, the Twins are now 4.5 games...5960Thu, 10 Aug 2017 05:17:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/min-4-mil-0-big-sexy-with-7-scoreless-lifts-twins-back-to-500-r5959/Win Expectancy (via Fangraphs) There are very few things I feel I know for certain about baseball, and one of them is that the game is very difficult. That being the case, how in the world is it possible that Bartolo Colon can make it look this easy? Big Sexy cruised through 7.0 innings of work,...5959Thu, 10 Aug 2017 03:46:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/st-paul-saints-staying-in-the-hunt-r5958/Fargo-Moorhead Redhawks (Aug 3rd-6th) The Saints' first two games back at CHS Field unfortunately continued the woes the team has been having for a little more than a month. A 6-2 loss in the opener and a 6-5 follow-up had everyone wondering when the team would snap out of their funk. Well, they s...5958Thu, 10 Aug 2017 02:24:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/game-thread-twinsbrewers-89710pm-ct-r5956/1. Milwaukee – French fur traders were the first Europeans to settle into the area. Fifty years later the Germans came in waves, followed by Polish immigrants and then the Fonzerellis, Delvecchios, Arcolas, Tuscaderos, DeFazios and Regusas of Italy.

How adorable. After Kepler’s two-run homer, Milwaukee took back the lead in the top of the fourth, rallying for three runs. The Twins responded by scoring six runs in the bottom of that inning and...5955Wed, 09 Aug 2017 03:50:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/independent-streak-r5953/For those who enjoy the human element of the game, there's something special about independent ball. Players in these leagues are a long way from the majors, whether undrafted or trying to make their way back into an MLB system. But they're chasing their dreams, often playing in front of paltry cr...5953Wed, 09 Aug 2017 02:53:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/min-5-mil-4-rosario-scores-go-ahead-run-on-balk-polanco-collects-4-hits-r5951/Win Expectancy (via Fangraphs) Rosario’s run made the difference, but the other big stories of this game were Jorge Polanco breaking out of his slump and the bullpen delivering another great performance. Polanco went 4-for-4 and hit a huge two-run double. It was his first multi-hit game since Ju...5951Tue, 08 Aug 2017 03:58:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/2017-thankyou-giveaway/As a way of thanking our readers and members, we’ll be giving away a gift each weekday from 7/24 through 8/4 8/8.
