The last out of the last inning is put on second base and the inning is played like usual. “A lot of people don’t like it,” Tsamis said after the game but added “I don’t min...3830Sun, 21 Jun 2015 05:21:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/terry-ryan-finds-himself-locked-out-of-his-aol-account-r3826/Ryan claims that he was sure he was putting in the right password, and that he hadn’t recently changed it, or told anyone to change it.

Youth -- I have a suspicion that this series will be interesting to TD'ers. Perhaps more so than other match-ups. What is fueling this suspicion? It's a sense after reading posts from Twins Daily that seem to imply a majority yearning for young players from the farm. Well... everyone... meet th...3825Fri, 19 Jun 2015 15:41:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/that39s-the-ticket-the-future-is-now-r3824/When new ownership shook up the organization, they hired Red Sox architect Theo Epstein away from Boston and initiated one of the largest youth movements since the baby boom.

Already we've seen nine different players draw starts in the outfield (for comparison, the season total in 2010 was six) and the results have been ugly. Here's the total production the Twins have gotten from all three positions, compared to the le...3822Fri, 19 Jun 2015 04:10:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/saints-continue-winning-ways-into-june-r3821/In the first series the Saints took two of three from the Canaries. They used a great diving catch by right fielder Mike Kvasnicka to end game one. Then a lights out start by Dustin Crenshaw took game two. The second win tied the team’s single season record for longest winning streak at ten.
