His line of .379/.402/.592/.994 over that time is one of the best for a catcher over the last month plus.
Max Kepler has been just as hot driving in 33 runs over the last 37...</description><guid isPermaLink="false">4900</guid><pubDate>Tue, 12 Jul 2016 13:34:00 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Minnesota's Worst All-Stars</title><link>https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/minnesota39s-worst-all-stars-r4897/</link><description>Here are my picks for the top five worst All-Star selections in Twins history. I took into consideration the player's career WAR total and the season in which the player was elected but there have been some bad players who were able to put the title of All-Star next to their name.

The Twins are finally hitting like we hoped they would.
The optimistic view of this team, entering the season, was that a powerful offense and adequate pitching staff could make them competitive. That did not come to fruition for much of the first half, but over the past few weeks it has. In th...</description><guid isPermaLink="false">4896</guid><pubDate>Mon, 11 Jul 2016 04:00:00 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Gleeman & The Geek, Ep 262: The Max Kepler Power Hour]]></title><link>https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/gleeman-amp-the-geek-ep-262-the-max-kepler-power-hour-r4894/</link><description>http://traffic.libsyn.com/gleemangeek/gatg_7_10_16_final.mp3</description><guid isPermaLink="false">4894</guid><pubDate>Mon, 11 Jul 2016 03:31:00 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Byung Ho Park's Struggles Related To Season-Long Injury?</title><link>https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/byung-ho-park39s-struggles-related-to-season-long-injury-r4891/</link><description>On May 13, in the opener of a three game series in Cleveland, Park had his first multi-homer game of his career and giving him nine on the season, pulling him within three of the AL pace-setting in Robinson Cano. He was tops among rookies in the junior circuit in home runs, and his overall number...</description><guid isPermaLink="false">4891</guid><pubDate>Fri, 08 Jul 2016 14:33:00 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Servin' Up Ervin</title><link>https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/servin39-up-ervin-r4888/</link><description>Granted, it came at home against an Athletics team that ranks last in the AL in OPS, but Santana's 100-pitch shutout on Wednesday was a thing of beauty. He allowed only two hits with no walks, and struck out eight.
It was a tantalizing reminder of what Santana is capable of at his best. He's been...</description><guid isPermaLink="false">4888</guid><pubDate>Fri, 08 Jul 2016 04:50:00 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Game Thread: Twins @ Rangers, 7/7 @ 7:05pm CT</title><link>https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/game-thread-twins-rangers-77-705pm-ct-r4885/</link><description>1. Norm Green &#x2013; Norm Green and some other guys bought the Atlanta Flames and then moved them to Calgary. The NHL later requested that he sell his shares in the Flames and rescue the North Stars and he rescued them by moving them to Dallas 3 years later.

Obviously, that small sample would not affect the numbers much anyway.
The Twins are on pace to finish 54-108. 
It would be the most losses...</description><guid isPermaLink="false">4881</guid><pubDate>Wed, 06 Jul 2016 17:00:00 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Twins First Half Summary: Murphy's Law</title><link>https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/twins-first-half-summary-murphy39s-law-r4878/</link><description>Let&#x2019;s start at the end of last year. The Twins were not officially eliminated from the playoffs until after their 161st game. Hope was high as the offseason began. And that&#x2019;s why 2016 has been so incredibly disappointing for the fans, and likely even more so for the players and the front office.

No one understands or will explain why. It just wasn&#x2019;t. Before the game, Kennys Vargas was recalled and Trevor Plouffe was placed on the disabled list with cracked ribs.

The Twins spent a lot of money on both of these pitchers on the free agent market and it hasn't gone according to plan.
