For fans of the minor leagues, this time of year is pretty fun. The Elizabethton Twins will be starting their playoff run tonight. September call-ups can start happening on Friday. The minor league regular seasons come to an end on Labor Day and then...811Wed, 29 Aug 2012 12:12:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/twins-minor-league/tuesdays-trip-through-the-minors-r810/Even though they are a last place team like the Twins, the pesky Seattle Mariners have seemed to have the Twins number in 2012. For the second night in a row, the Twins couldn't get much offense going and it's tough to win games without scoring runs. The good news is that the Twins are getting close...810Wed, 29 Aug 2012 11:00:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/twins-minor-league/suiting-up-in-september-r808/It’s August 28th, just a handful of days remaining until September 1st. At that time, Major League rosters can expand to 40. Of course, no team is going to have all 40 members of their 40 man roster on their big league roster. Generally speaking, the Twins say they want to bring up an infielder, an...808Tue, 28 Aug 2012 04:51:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/twins-minor-league/monday-night-in-the-minors-r806/No one expected a slugfest when the Mariners and Twins got together to play in Target Field. Felix Hernandez was on the mound for the Mariners, but Liam Hendriks was on the mound for the Twins. It looked like a mismatch, but it turned into one of the best pitcher’s duals of the year! Liam Hendriks...806Tue, 28 Aug 2012 02:56:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/twins-minor-league/sunday-minor-league-game-notes-r802/The Twins got off the schneid with a 6-5 win over the Rangers. They end their AL West road trip with two wins in ten games. Ben Revere went 4-4 with a triple. Denard Span had two hits. Cole De Vries started, and after a long rain delay, he returned and was able to go five innings. He left with a 6-2...802Mon, 27 Aug 2012 04:21:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/twins-minor-league/blind-faith-vs-evidence-and-reason-r800/When coming to form one's beliefs or making evaluations about things, the rather vast ocean between blind faith and evidence sets up a stark contrast in reasoned (or un-reasoned) judgment. This post is not about evolution or theism, but about something much less important in the grand scheme of thi...800Sun, 26 Aug 2012 23:25:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/twins-minor-league/saturday-in-the-minor-league-parks-r799/The Twins lost big to the Rangers, again. Maybe you’ve read this story before. The Twins starting pitcher (Brian Duensing on this day) puts the Twins way behind early in the game, and the offense isn’t able to catch up. Justin Morneau went 4-4 and homered for the 202nd time in his career to pass Gar...799Sun, 26 Aug 2012 04:01:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/twins-minor-league/friday-night-minor-league-lights-r796/The Twins/Rangers game in Arlington was over pretty quickly. Samuel Deduno gave up one run in the first inning and five runs in the second. Somehow, he got through five innings and gave up seven runs on 11 hits. He walked the first batter he faced and that was the lone walk of the night. Kyle Waldr...796Sat, 25 Aug 2012 04:40:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/twins-minor-league/thursdays-minor-league-round-up-r792/Scott Diamond had a rough first inning (33 pitches) before getting through a scoreless second. After Joe Mauer was plunked by Roy Oswalt, Diamond threw over Josh Hamilton’s head and was immediately ejected. Ron Gardenhire was also ejected. This put the Twins in a bad place. Anthony Swarzak got th...792Fri, 24 Aug 2012 03:42:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/twins-minor-league/wednesdays-twins-minor-league-daily-r789/I was at the Rock Cats game this evening. It wasn't a great game for New Britain -- not nearly enough offense, and our pitchers had some trouble keeping the ball down. Terry Ryan was in attendance. I spoke to him for a few minutes, and it sounds like he plans to follow the team through its upcoming...789Thu, 23 Aug 2012 12:12:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/twins-minor-league/independent-thinking-r788/The Twins organization is filled with players from all over the globe. They scout the entire country, Canada and Puerto Rico for the draft. They’ve done a nice job signing international players in recent years. The Twins do a great job in Australia. They have players from Europe and talent from Tai...788Thu, 23 Aug 2012 08:16:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/twins-minor-league/tuesday-minor-league-scoreboard-r785/Brett Andersen made his first start in just over a year since he had Tommy John surgery, and the lefty was back in fine form. He gave up just one run on four hits and no walks in seven innings. Sean Doolittle pitched a perfect eighth. Then former Twins reliever Grant Balfour recorded his 12th save w...785Wed, 22 Aug 2012 11:36:00 +0000
