The first two days, it was so hot. Temperatures hovered in the mid-90s and humidity was quite high. On Saturday, however, the weather was a little different and that crazy humidity finally burst into some impressive...723Sun, 05 Aug 2012 14:51:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/twins-minor-league/saturday-night-lights-r722/Note from Seth - Thank you to J-Dog Dungan for stepping up last night and helping with the minor league report. It was very helpful! -------------------- The Twins made their game against Boston very interesting, waiting until the last inning to uncork the big hit they had been looking for all game,...722Sun, 05 Aug 2012 12:46:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/twins-minor-league/fridays-twins-minor-league-daily-r720/Where I live, I only watch the Twins on TV when they play the Yankees, Mets or Red Sox. Last night, though I missed seeing the comeback! It was definitely great to hear that both Morneau and Carroll had 4 hits -- Morneau, especially. Let's take a look at how the affiliates performed last night. Also...720Sat, 04 Aug 2012 16:33:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/twins-minor-league/notes-from-day-2-in-beloit-r719/Day 2 in Beloit was a good day. Then again, it was a Friday and I wasn’t at work and it was a day all about baseball. How could it be bad?! In today's blog, I'll talk about the Snappers 8-1 win over Brian Buchanan and the Kane County Cougars. There are a lot of observations on players before and dur...719Sat, 04 Aug 2012 15:03:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/twins-minor-league/notes-from-day-1-in-beloit-r717/If I’m being honest, the Snappers game tonight was pretty bad for the hometown nine, at least for eight-and-a-half innings. However, in the bottom of the 9th, the Snappers bats woke up. The team had scored just one run in the first eight innings. The ninth frame started with walks to the eight and n...717Fri, 03 Aug 2012 13:23:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/twins-minor-league/thursdays-minor-league-round-up-r715/Samuel Deduno and his effective wildness (101 pitches, 50 strikes) held the Red Sox scoreless over six innings. The bullpen finished it out and the Twins offense provided 5 runs to complete their first shutout of the Red Sox in Fenway in almost 16 years. In what had been speculated for months and b...715Fri, 03 Aug 2012 03:55:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/twins-minor-league/wimmers-goes-under-the-knife-r713/An outcome that has long seemed inevitable became a reality today when it was announced that pitching prospect Alex Wimmers was slated to undergo Tommy John surgery. It's a major setback in a career that hasn't really been able to get off the starting block. The story leading up to this news is a fa...713Thu, 02 Aug 2012 22:53:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/twins-minor-league/wednesdays-twins-minor-league-daily-r710/I'll be honest -- I was a little disappointed with the trade deadline. Aside from dealing Liriano, no big moves, no small moves. But if the offers weren't there, then they weren't there. But this is certainly a tough time to be a Twins fan! If you're reading this, though, you realize that there are...710Thu, 02 Aug 2012 04:39:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/twins-minor-league/my-top-50-plus-1-twins-prospects-august-1-edition-r707/One of my favorite days of the year is the day I open my mailbox and see a cardboard box just big enough to hold the Baseball America Prospect Handbook. The first thing I do is read each of the 30 capsules about the Twins prospects. Then I proceed to read each of the other 870 reports in the book,...707Wed, 01 Aug 2012 07:39:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/twins-minor-league/tuesday-minor-league-notebook-r706/It was Revenge of the Former Twins in Tuesday night’s Twins/White Sox game. Francisco Liriano got through six innings and gave up just two runs. Jesse Crain relieved him for a scoreless inning. And, AJ Pierzynski hit the big two-run homer in the top of the ninth off of Jeff Gray, and that was it. Th...706Wed, 01 Aug 2012 07:17:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/twins-minor-league/a-look-inside-a-minor-leaguers-travel-bag-r704/Being a minor league baseball player has taught me to be an expert packer. I travel with a baseball bag and a backpack, what goes into my backpack has to serve a purpose because everything takes up space and there isn’t very much of it. Game Glove My glove gets treated well. I often use the phrase,...704Tue, 31 Jul 2012 19:59:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/twins-minor-league/monday-night-in-the-minors-r700/The Twins got a very nice 7-6 win over the Chicago White Sox on Monday night. But the offense and defense of Denard Span and some great ninth inning work from the bottom of the order gave the Twins a walk-off win. Danny Valencia led off the ninth with a line drive single. Alexi Casilla pinch ran for...700Tue, 31 Jul 2012 04:49:00 +0000
