Cedar Rapids is the home of the Twins Low Class A affiliate in the Midwest League. We discussed his goals as a manager/coach, the language barrier that there can be in baseball, the best part of man...1346Fri, 12 Apr 2013 09:48:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/twins-minor-league/qampampa-with-jake-mauer-part-i-r1342/As you know, I was able to spend four days in Cedar Rapids last week. I arrived in time for their Meet the Kernels event at Perfect Game Field. At a press conference, hitting coach Tommy Watkins introduced me to manager Jake Mauer. Over the next few days, I had a chance to talk to Watkins, pitching...1342Thu, 11 Apr 2013 04:47:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/twins-minor-league/wet-wednesday-in-the-minors-r1341/With last night's loss, the Twins failed to win a series for the first time in 2013. Things didn't go much better tonight for Minnesota as the club fell to the Kansas City Royals. It was the first time the team had been swept in 2013 and the Twins only scored five runs in the series. Miguel Sano hit...1341Thu, 11 Apr 2013 04:11:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/twins-minor-league/tuesday-turn-through-the-minors-r1339/The Twins had a rough going in the early innings on Tuesday night. In the minor leagues, the Red Wings got a big, late-inning home run that led to a win. The Rock Cats scored nine runs for the second straight game yet they played a game that was close until the ninth. The Miracle won a 1-0 game than...1339Wed, 10 Apr 2013 05:02:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/twins-minor-league/kernels-first-impressions-r1336/With Tuesday night's rainout in Wisconsin, the Kernels have five games under their belts. It's far too soon to draw any firm conclusions about this year's club, but those games were enough to make some first impressions. First of all, they've put up a 4-1 record, so that's a pretty good first impres...1336Wed, 10 Apr 2013 04:02:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/twins-minor-league/supplemental-draft-picks-have-great-talent-made-tough-decisions-r1333/Can you imagine the difficult decision that highly-drafted high school kids have to make? Do they sign a signing bonus for seven (or at least upper six) figures, or do they go to a college whose coaches have recruited them and clearly want him to play for their school? For a couple of Twins prospect...1333Tue, 09 Apr 2013 04:32:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/twins-minor-league/twins-minor-league-report-kernels-rock-cats-roll-r1332/The Twins got an excellent outing from free-agent pick-up Kevin Correia, who worked into the 8th inning. Unfortunately, the Royals strung a few hits together and were able to chase Correia after taking a 3-1 lead. The Twins failed to rally in the 9th and lost their 3rd “Home Opener” of the season....1332Tue, 09 Apr 2013 02:51:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/twins-minor-league/rochester-red-wings-opening-week-review-r1329/Opening week has come and gone, and after playing a four game home and home series against the Buffalo Bisons it’s safe to say that at 1-3, the Rochester Red Wings, the Minnesota Twins AAA affiliate, are not where they had hoped to be. The First Three Games In the two games in Buffalo and the h...1329Mon, 08 Apr 2013 03:48:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/twins-minor-league/down-on-the-farm-a-no-hitter-and-lots-of-hot-sluggers-r1327/There have been two series so far for the Twins and each one has produced the same result, a Twins win. Minnesota is tied with the Chicago White Sox for first place in the Central Division. It is very early in the season but the Twins are finding ways to keep games close and to come out victorious....1327Mon, 08 Apr 2013 02:04:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/twins-minor-league/twins-minor-league-report-sano-warms-kernels-cool-r1326/The Twins just got back over .500 (again) while a top prospect is starting to heat up. There was a lot going on in the minor leagues today. You can read about it and catch up (or comment) here. After taking in three Kernels games in Cedar Rapids, Seth is driving back to reality tonight. So I'm pin...1326Sun, 07 Apr 2013 03:21:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/twins-minor-league/friday-night-twins-minor-league-report-kernels-win-with-walk-off-r1325/I have to say, I have been pretty lucky down here in Cedar Rapids. On Opening Night, I saw Twins pitchers strikeout 16 batters, Byron Buxton get a couple of hits and a steal and a couple of home runs. On Friday night, I got to see more individual performances that are exciting for Twins fans, and I...1325Sat, 06 Apr 2013 14:14:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/twins-minor-league/twins-minor-league-report-kernels-win-twins-debut-r1322/Each night throughout the entire minor league season, Twins Daily will be writing up game notes and highlights from all of the Twins minor league affiliates.
