To be fair, Colon actually looked great through the first three innings, shutting out the Yankees. He gave up just a couple singles and struck out Aaron Judge, Matt Holliday and Gary Sanchez. Big Sexy ran into a little trouble in the four...]]></description><guid isPermaLink="false">5862</guid><pubDate>Wed, 19 Jul 2017 03:55:00 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>A Look Back: The 2005 American League Cy Young</title><link>https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/a-look-back-the-2005-american-league-cy-young-r5859/</link><description>With Colon joining the Twins and making a start tonight, I thought it would be fun to take a look back at that 2005 American League Cy Young vote through the lens of what we now know.

Of course he was robbed, we&#x2019;re Twins fans. He absolutely deserved to win it.

With the game tied at two in the bottom of the eighth inning, Joe Mauer hit a leadoff single and Miguel Sano followed with a single of his own. Max Kepler came up next and struck out to end a strange at-bat.

After a somewhat slow start, it seemed as though the Indians &#x2013; prohibitive preseason favorites in the AL Central &#x2013; were turning the corner in mid-June when they came to Target Field and swept a four-game series from the upstart Twins, ending a five-week run for Minnesota i...</description><guid isPermaLink="false">5854</guid><pubDate>Mon, 17 Jul 2017 03:46:00 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Gleeman & The Geek, Ep 323: Buyers or Sellers]]></title><link>https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/gleeman-amp-the-geek-ep-323-buyers-or-sellers-r5852/</link><description>http://traffic.libsyn.com/gleemangeek/716FINAL.mp3?dest-id=74590</description><guid isPermaLink="false">5852</guid><pubDate>Mon, 17 Jul 2017 00:57:00 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Astros 5, Twins 3: Defensive Shortcomings Spoil Solid Start From Gibson</title><link>https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/astros-5-twins-3-defensive-shortcomings-spoil-solid-start-from-gibson-r5851/</link><description><![CDATA[Win Expectancy &amp; Top 5 Plays Per WPA (via Fangraphs)


Gibson’s line of six innings pitched and four earned runs doesn’t look very impressive, but the biggest hit he gave up was on a ball that Byron Buxton catches in his sleep.

If Twins fans were a little shell shocked heading into a series at Houston, you couldn't blame them. Not only are the Astros the best team in baseball, but they also destroyed the Twins in a sweep at Target Field earlier this year.
