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. Byron Buxton successfully stole his 23rd-consecutive base, setting a new t...6116Wed, 27 Sep 2017 03:27:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/game-thread-twins-cleveland-926610pm-ct-r6114/1. 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 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/min-10-det-4-deja-vu-all-over-again-r6112/Snapshot (chart via Fangraphs) The Twins jumped out to a 5-0 lead by the top of the fifth inning, making for a pretty low-stress Sunday afternoon for the club. Detroit scored twice in the bottom of the fifth, but the Twins answered with a five-run sixth inning. The Twins collected 12 hits, two...6112Sun, 24 Sep 2017 22:42:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/episode-335-magic-number-ride-r6111/http://traffic.libsyn.com/gleemangeek/Episode_335_Magic_Number.mp3?dest-id=745906111Sun, 24 Sep 2017 21:34:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/charting-a-twins-playoff-rotation-r6110/As long as the Twins avoid total collapse in the final week, they will be able to wrap up a pretty cool distinction as the first team ever to qualify for the postseason one year after losing 100-plus games. But while it would technically count as a playoff appearance, the Twins won't really be in...6110Sun, 24 Sep 2017 21:32:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/min-10-det-4-twins-blow-out-tigers-bullpen-r6109/Snapshot (chart via Fangraphs) Brian Dozier led this one off with a “home run” of sorts, but not the type of leadoff homer we’re used to seeing from Dozier. He bunted and circled the bases on a throwing error. https://twitter.com/fsnorth/status/911719818121773056 Ervin Santana went 7.0 innings a...6109Sun, 24 Sep 2017 02:14:00 +0000
