First, he's in that leadoff spot, batting directly in fron...3571Mon, 20 Apr 2015 03:57:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/game-thread-twins-vs-indians-417-710pm-r3565/1. The Indians -- Hey... Things ain't so rosy in Cleveland Ohio either. At least our Twins can say that we have a two game winning streak!!! The Indians are working on a puny little 1 game winning streak so the Twins can claim a doubling in that department. The Indians are 3-5 and the Twins are 3-...3565Fri, 17 Apr 2015 16:13:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/what-a-terrific-start33-r3555/What’s that? You say the Twins are languishing with a 1-6 record? Who cares? I’m talking about their full-season minor league affiliates! That’s where the action (and literally ALL of the fun) is!

But Kluber pitches Friday versus Mike Pelfrey and Hughes doesn't pitch until Saturday. The day after each of them take the mound, both team...3562Fri, 17 Apr 2015 02:52:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/on-risk-community-and-the-cup-r3559/The forums, duh.

Third baseman Trevor Plouffe discovered that trying to perform consistently at the major league level was a daunting task as an inexperienced hitter.

It shows that maybe they haven’t completely lost their fans after four (plus one week) really crummy seasons. But it is a less good sign for the people at the top of that organization who might be facing a crisis in confidence that I never thought I’d see.
