Ironically, after years and years of gripes from a large portion of the fan base, their strikeout rate of 22.7% ranks a respectable 16th. Unfortunately, the...18153Mon, 21 Apr 2025 11:39:02 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/week-in-review-momentum-killers-r18154/The Weekly Nutshell: At the end of last week, we wondered if Minnesota's victory in the series finale against the Tigers might represent the start of a turnaround. Instead, the Twins opened the the week with another abjectly horrendous baseball game on Monday. Poor performance, bad decisions,...18154Mon, 21 Apr 2025 01:41:55 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/braves-6-twins-2-at-least-someones-season-got-resurrected-this-weekend-r18152/Box Score: Starting Pitcher: Joe Ryan: 5 IP, 8 H, 6 ER, 1 BB, 5 K (93 Pitches, 65 Strikes, 69.9%) Home Runs: Byron Buxton (4) Bottom 3 WPA: Ryan (-.286), Edouard Julien (-.097), Brooks Lee (-.093) Win Probability Chart (Via Fangraphs): The Twins wrapped up their series in Atlanta...18152Sun, 20 Apr 2025 19:59:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/the-twins-are-pivoting-from-mickey-gasper-to-jonah-bride-on-the-bench-r18144/On Thursday, the Twins placed Matt Wallner on the injured list and used his newly opened roster spot to add Jonah Bride, acquired from the Marlins in exchange for cash after recently being designated for assignment.

The pitching staff has forgotten how to throw to first (or second, apparently). A lot of the hitters aren’t hitting. Don’t even get me started on all. the. injuries.

His triple-digit heater lit up scoreboards when he was a minor-league starter, and that only increased after moving to the big-league bullpen. Casual fans love fastballs, and Durán was doing things that had neve...18131Sat, 19 Apr 2025 16:32:02 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/braves-6-twins-4-keaschall-impresses-in-debut-jax-implodes-in-eighth-r18142/Box Score SP: Chris Paddack 5.0 P, 3 H,1 ER, 1 BB, 6 K (88 pitches, 57 strikes (64%)) Home Runs: Trevor Larnach (1)  Top 3 WPA: Paddack (.174); Luke Keaschall (.085), Ryan Jeffers (.072) Win Probability Chart (via FanGraphs) The big headline in this game: Luke Keaschall joined th...18142Sat, 19 Apr 2025 02:17:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/whats-eating-minnesota-twins-bullpen-ace-griffin-jax-r18136/It's been three years since Griffin Jax converted into a reliever and quickly became one of the best high leverage arms in all of baseball.
