Liam Hendriks started the team's fourth game of the season. Pedro Hernandez started the sixth. Those two combined with Andrew Albers, P.J. Walters and Cole DeVries to make a total of 40 starts for the Twins last y...2510Wed, 16 Apr 2014 03:43:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/twins-minor-league/rock-cats-report-20141-r2504/As of this writing, the New Britain Rock Cats sit at 4-6. It's important before reading this piece -- or really any piece related to baseball -- that we all realize that we're only 10 games (or so) into the season. Everything anyone says should be couched with the "small sample size" caveat. Still,...2504Tue, 15 Apr 2014 02:53:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/twins-minor-league/red-wings-at-ironpigs-alex-meyer-r2503/I had the opportunity to watch the Rochester Red Wings' last 3 games (the double header last night and this afternoon's game) in my back yard against the Lehigh Valley IronPigs over the weekend. My list of must-dos were to see whether Alex Meyer was as good as he was this spring, in real game sit...2503Mon, 14 Apr 2014 02:50:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/twins-minor-league/twins-minor-league-report-413-kernels-road-sweep-r2501/For the third straight game, the Minnesota Twins got a quality start, and for the third straight game, they got a win. Still, it took some late-inning dramatics, but the team goes into a Monday off-day with a .500 record (6-6). Raise your hand if you saw that coming. Just 150 games to go! The four m...2501Sun, 13 Apr 2014 21:47:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/twins-minor-league/twins-minor-league-report-412-awesome-aussie-r2500/The weather on Friday meant that the Red Wings needed to play their second double-header of the week. For the second time this week, the now 6-2 Red Wings swept a double-header. Australian James Beresford led the way, continuing to be the most consistent hitter at the start of this season. Mitch Gar...2500Sun, 13 Apr 2014 04:09:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/twins-minor-league/twins-minor-league-report-411-garver-powers-kernels-win-r2499/Weather was again a factor in the Twins farm system. Of course, it appears that the Red Wings get rained out whenever Alex Meyer is scheduled to pitch. His first start was pushed back twice by weather, and he was supposed to start on Friday night for Rochester but it was rained out as well. As Roche...2499Sat, 12 Apr 2014 02:11:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/twins-minor-league/twins-minor-league-report-410-eades-y-does-it-r2496/It was another fantastic day in Twins Territory. I’m obviously talking about today’s weather in comparison to the weather we had over the past six months. Oh, you came to read about baseball? Well, in that case, just be happy that you have a job that required you to work this afternoon. If you happe...2496Fri, 11 Apr 2014 03:10:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/twins-minor-league/twins-minor-league-report-49-5-0-r2492/Wins and losses are far from the most important thing in the minor leagues. Player development matters above all else. That said, winning is always fun. And, to be fair, part of a player’s development is learning how to win, and learning how to play team baseball. When a team is able to develop play...2492Thu, 10 Apr 2014 03:34:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/twins-minor-league/meet-the-kernels-catchers-r2488/The Cedar Rapids Kernels opened their 2014 season with a split of their four-game series with the Clinton Lumber Kings. The weather over the weekend was tolerable, with highs in the mid 50s to around 60 degrees, but Thursday’s Opening Night was far from delightful, with temperatures in the 30s a...2488Wed, 09 Apr 2014 13:03:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/twins-minor-league/twins-minor-league-report-48-may-has-a-day-r2489/Weather has been a factor in the early part of the minor league schedule. Rochester was forced to play two seven-inning games on Tuesday because of weather issues on Monday. The Miracle had some weather issues of their own on Tuesday as their game got called early in the day. For the coming weeks, i...2489Wed, 09 Apr 2014 03:28:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/twins-minor-league/twins-minor-league-report-week-1-notes-r2485/I promised last week we would have a minor league update each day from last Thursday through Labor Day. In a way, I have to go back on that promise. Ft. Myers and Cedar Rapids both had a scheduled off day. Rochester and New Britain both had games rained out. So, none of the four full-season affiliat...2485Tue, 08 Apr 2014 05:31:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/twins-minor-league/rochester-red-wings-2014-home-opener-r2481/Sunday marked the home opener for the Rochester Red Wings at Frontier Field. After a couple days of snow and rain, Sunday was near 60 degrees and sunny, a perfect spring day to kick off a home baseball season. Coming into the 2014 home opener, Rochester had lost two home openers in a row, and were 0...2481Mon, 07 Apr 2014 03:12:00 +0000
