Rangers -- The Rangers were rolling pretty good but I'm hopeful that the Seattle Mariners cooled them off by taking 2 out of 3 this past weekend. Maybe this is a sign of the Rangers' hot streak running out of gas and maybe... just maybe... we will be facing just a normal run-of-the-mill squad....4029Tue, 11 Aug 2015 10:48:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/that39s-the-ticket-battling-for-the-wild-card-r4026/The Rangers now enter this series with a .500 record, 4.5 games back in the AL West and a half game ahead of the Twins, albeit still back of that final Wild Card spot. Since the 20th, they have gone 12-6 and held onto Gallardo after they didn’t get any trade offers they thought were compelling eno...4026Tue, 11 Aug 2015 02:25:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/twins-transactions-buxton-activated-optioned-to-aaa-r4027/That leaves one spot, right field, which belongs to Torii Hunter, who is a top of the order hitter with the second most home runs on the team. Hunter needs his rest, but that’s two days per week. Nobody can think it makes sense to call up Buxton to play two days per week. I guess the argument is t...4027Mon, 10 Aug 2015 21:54:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/twins-have-been-broken-since-the-break-r4023/Since beating Oakland 5-0 in their first game after the All-Star break, the Twins have been in full meltdown mode, winning only five of 21 games with the competition looking increasingly lopsided. Simultaneously, every facet of the roster that Molitor had come to rely on over the first three month...4023Mon, 10 Aug 2015 01:08:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/gleeman-amp-the-geek-episode-208-free-fallin39-r4022/http://traffic.libsyn.com/gleemangeek/GATG_08092015_final.mp34022Sun, 09 Aug 2015 23:54:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/why-weren39t-the-twins-pitchers-more-aggressive-r4017/Gibson simply picked up where others in the rotation had left off before him. The big bats for the Blue Jays were far too comfortable extending their arms and taking advantage of the outer-half. For instance, Jays third baseman Josh Donaldson was able to launch this opposite field shot off of Erv...4017Fri, 07 Aug 2015 14:27:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/the-real-downside-of-buxton39s-injury-r4016/Of course it would have been nice to have Buxton around over these past several weeks, purely from a spectator standpoint. He's exciting to watch, and he's also a critical component of this emerging young core. When you watch Buck fly around the bases and outfield, you truly feel like you're watch...4016Fri, 07 Aug 2015 13:20:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/we-wouldn39t-have-lost-if-you39d-beaten-us-r4002/One of my favorites, though I'd never call it his best or even necessarily close to holding that status (which says a lot for Yogiisms in general), is "You wouldn't have won if we'd beaten you." The blatant obviousness is just so appealing to me - though of course it's that very perspicuity that m...4002Fri, 07 Aug 2015 10:21:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/game-thread-twins-indians-87-610pm-ct-r4014/1. Cleveland -- The Twins visit a place that is affectionately called the "Mistake by the Lake." Getting to Cleveland from Toronto is interesting because you have to drive across Lake Erie and there isn't a bridge. It's a good thing they arrived late last night because you have to worry about the...4014Fri, 07 Aug 2015 10:16:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/struggles-have-highlighted-twins-correct-deadline-decisions-r4011/For much of the season, the Twins were a team playing well above water. With an extremely impressive home record, while staving off regression, Minnesota distanced themselves from the pack. As it generally does, baseball has begun to shift back towards a statistical normalcy and the Twins have fel...4011Thu, 06 Aug 2015 14:16:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/st-paul-saints-baseball-fun-amp-pillows-r4007/The last home stand kicked off against the Winnipeg Goldeyes, starting Sunday July, 19th. With a couple nail biters and an offensive explosion, the local nine took three of four from the visitors. Vinny Difazio led the battery, going 4-4 with 4 RBI in Monday's 12-6 lopsided win. Ryan Rodebaugh clo...4007Wed, 05 Aug 2015 04:50:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/will-the-twins-ever-hit-again-r4010/Despite not having to face Price every night, the Twins still managed to have one of the least potent lineups post-break. Hits are frequently a precursor to runs. Runs, as the rules would have it, are needed to win baseball games. After scoring 4.3 runs per game in the first half of the year (nint...4010Wed, 05 Aug 2015 04:28:00 +0000
