He’s your go-to guy when it comes to breaking down the players in this year’s crop and mining information on what the Twins may do, but I found a couple of interesting tidbits of information to share on college guys vs. high school kids I...5558Fri, 05 May 2017 14:00:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/game-thread-twins-v-red-sox-55-710pm-ct-r5560/1. Winona – Approximately 27 thousand people call Winona home in the far Southeastern corner of Minnesota. In the Dakota language… Winona means “Almost Wisconsin.” The town is watched over by a rock pinnacle on a bluff called Sugar Loaf. Everyone assumed it was a bluff being named Sugar Loaf… but...5560Fri, 05 May 2017 11:23:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/the-joe-mauer-quagmire-r5557/Platoon Plan During spring training, I wrote about the possibility of a Mauer platoon. During the 2016 campaign, Mauer hit .272/.383/.410 against right-handed pitching. His numbers dipped against southpaws as he hit 48 points lower and got on base 29% of the time. This was a stiff drop-off from hi...5557Fri, 05 May 2017 02:33:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/the-lurking-late-inning-limbo-r5556/No one can take away from Brandon Kintzler what he has accomplished in the closer role thus far. He was extremely reliable after taking over for Glen Perkins last year, at least up until a September slide, and he's been nails over the first four weeks of 2017. Through 12 appearances Kintzler has h...5556Thu, 04 May 2017 05:21:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/twins-minor-league-report-53-turley-debuts-chattanooga-trio-of-bats-abuse-r5555/RED WINGS REPORT Rochester 5, Buffalo 3 (Game 1) Box Score David Hurlbut gave the Red Wings a solid effort in the front end of a doubleheader. Hurlbut was touched up for eight hits over five innings, but he allowed only three runs (two earned) while striking out two and walking one. He allowed a t...5555Thu, 04 May 2017 02:53:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/simply-getting-ahead-won39t-save-kyle-gibson-r5554/With how poorly Gibson has pitched, it's surprising he's held on to his rotation spot this long. Gibson had a marvelous first half of 2015, but since then he's pitched to a 5.39 ERA over 250.2 innings. Opposing batters have an OPS over .800 against him and his WHIP is 1.53 in that time frame.

Thief River Falls – Typically thought #1 has been about the city where the game is played. I can’t write about Minneapolis every single time we are home so I’ve decided to think about random towns around Twins Territory for each home series opener. I’m starting with Thief River Falls because it...5551Tue, 02 May 2017 11:51:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/al-central-marked-by-mediocrity-r5548/Cleveland Indians (April Record 14-10) What's Gone Right Following their World Series run, the Indians might have come out of the gate a little slower than they would like. Francisco Lindor is continuing his strong performance from last year's postseason.

Of course, those numbers were stellar, but there were deeper indicators of an elite offensive player in the making. Specifically, I'm talking about his uncommonly advanc...5545Mon, 01 May 2017 01:53:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/game-thread-twinsroyals-428-715pm-ct-r5540/5540Fri, 28 Apr 2017 11:57:00 +0000
