Realistically, it’s nothing I can control. I’m just trying to make it tough for them.” And yet, he does h...2555Tue, 29 Apr 2014 02:47:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/twins-minor-league/twins-minor-league-report-428-the-pitchin-was-bit-awesome-r2556/With the Twins off on Monday, the focus of the sports world in the state of Minnesota is on the Wild, as they work to force a game seven against the Avalanche. Byron Buxton returned to Extended Spring games yesterday and was rusty. Minor League Director Brad Steil said today that Buxton should be jo...2556Tue, 29 Apr 2014 02:37:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/twins-minor-league/twins-minor-league-report-427-parmelee-plays-hero-r2550/The Twins and Tigers were rained out on Sunday, so the Twins were able to avoid Justin Verlander. Monday is a scheduled off day before a three-game series at Target Field against the Dodgers where they will see former AL Central nemesis Zach Greinke in Game 1. In the minors, there were a couple of...2550Mon, 28 Apr 2014 02:04:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/twins-minor-league/twins-minor-league-report-426-kernelsrock-cats-hang-on-r2547/Phil Hughes worked seven quality innings and the Twins evened their series with the Detroit Tigers. On Sunday, it will be Kyle Gibson taking the mound for the Twins opposite Justin Verlander. Oswaldo Arcia began his rehab. Scott Diamond was back on the mound. After being rained out on Friday, the Ro...2547Sun, 27 Apr 2014 03:55:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/twins-minor-league/hinojosa-suspended-50-games-r2548/I wondered why the Twins called up Jonatan Hinojosa to Cedar Rapids. Now we know. From Bob Nightengale on Twitter: Class A #Twins IF Jonatan Hinojosa receives 50-game PED suspension for testing positive for metabolites of Nandrolone. Hardball Times' Bill Baer said this of Nandrolone: Because he wa...2548Sat, 26 Apr 2014 20:01:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/twins-minor-league/twins-minor-league-report-425-pitching-pitching-pitching-r2544/It is apparent that most nights we will be able to follow at least one very good pitching prospect. On this night, Trevor May looked to continue the good work he had done through his first three starts. JO Berrios and Kohl Stewart were looking for their first wins with their 2014 teams. Continue to...2544Sat, 26 Apr 2014 03:01:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/twins-minor-league/twins-minor-league-report-424-polancos-big-day-r2541/Rochester and New Britain both had morning/early afternoon games on Thursday. It was also get-away day for the Twins. The Cedar Rapids Kernels got a day off in Peoria, though it was not planned. Ft.

He set a career-high in strikeouts and went into the 7th inning for the first time this season. On this night, one could make the argument that his performance was the third best by a starting pitcher in the organiz...2538Thu, 24 Apr 2014 03:44:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/twins-minor-league/twins-minor-league-report-422-vicious-vasquez-r2533/The game was a struggle for Kyle Gibson on Tuesday night. The Rays pounced on him for seven runs and he was saddled with his first loss of this young season. David Price pitched nine strong innings and showed why he is one of the best pitchers in baseball. The good thing is that it appears as if Bri...2533Wed, 23 Apr 2014 02:57:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/twins-minor-league/twins-minor-league-report-421-shine-bright-like-scott-diamond-r2531/The title of today's article is based on Rihanna's "Diamonds", which I heard on KDWB today and which was written in less than 15 minutes.

In fact, the night I covered (and live-tweeted) Sano's New Britain Rock Cats' debut, I gained something like 200 Twitter followers. Sure, Sano is exciting -- a kid with game-changing power...2529Tue, 22 Apr 2014 06:37:00 +0000
