Back to reality
Posted on 21 May 2012 by Michael Schlottman.
The Minnesota Twins got a beat down yesterday at Miller Park, losing to the Brewers 16-4. It was so bad that back up catcher Drew Butera had to come in and pitch the 8th. But enough about that mess. They get a much needed day off today, so I thought I would take this opportunity to list the top 10 prospects in the Twins farm system and their 2012 stats. Enjoy! 1. Miguel Sano, 3b/ss ...

4 in a row!
Posted on 19 May 2012 by Michael Schlottman.
The Minnesota Twins picked up their 4th win in a row and 6th out of their last ten when they beat the Milwaukee Brewers 5-4 tonight in extra innings. Carl Pavano when 6 innings giving up only 2 runs but it was Jeff Gray coming in relief who picked up the win, his 3rd of the year. Joe Capps came in the 11th, hurling his new found splitter, and picked up his 9th save of the year. Ben Revere, Dr...

A Nice Win
Posted on 16 May 2012 by Michael Schlottman.
The Minnesota Twins used a committee of pitchers and scored the most runs they have all season to pick up an 11-7 victory over the Tigers tonight. Nick Blackburn lasted only 2 innings after being shelled for 6 runs on 6 hits while walking 2 and striking out 2 and Rick Porcello didn't fare much better, giving up 6 runs (2 earned) in 4 innings. But, for once, the Twins used their sticks to ma...

Marquis Matchup
Posted on 10 May 2012 by Michael Schlottman.
The Blue Jays are coming to town tonight to take on the tumbling Twins. Tumbling into the abyss that is. The Minnesota Twins are bottom of the pack in the American League in terms of team batting average (.231, #11), runs scored (102, #14, 3.4 runs per game), hits (237, #13) and home runs (18, #14) — just a note, Josh Hamilton for the Texas Rangers already has 14 home runs. As far as ...

Twins Shake Things Up
Posted on 10 May 2012 by Michael Schlottman.
Last night after the game against the Angels, the Minnesota Twins made a couple significant roster moves to change things up a little bit. They sent third baseman Danny Valencia down to AAA and moved lefty starting pitcher Francisco Liriano to the bullpen. More than likely, the Valencia move will put utility infielder Jamie Carrol at third and Alexi Casilla back at second. Valencia has been...

Scott Diamond In The Rough
Posted on 9 May 2012 by Michael Schlottman.
Back in 2008, a then 22 year old Scott Diamond was pitching lights out baseball….for the Myrtle Beach Pelicans, a farm team for the Atlanta Braves. He was awarded pitcher of the year after posting a 15-3 record with a very good 2.89 ERA. Since that time, he banged around different minor league teams from the Mississippi Braves to the Gwinnett Braves, getting only a handful of wins and 3...

Ben Revere Makes Catch of The Year
Posted on 23 Aug 2011 by Jonathan Fawkes.
Ben Revere has been a bright spot in an otherwise disappointing season for the Twins. He has shown tremendous range in the outfield and has made many spectacular catches on the run. Last night he found a way to top them all while doing his best Spider-Man/Willie Mays impression: Revere's incredible catch Revere has been a top prospect in the Twins organization for a few years and injuries h...

Delmon Young Traded to Tigers
Posted on 15 Aug 2011 by Jonathan Fawkes.
On a day when Delmon Young was traded to the Tigers after a disappointing 2011 season, Jim Thome put the that story to shame by launching his 599th and 600th home runs en route to a much needed Twins victory over the Tigers. It is seeminly impossible to find a negative story about Jim Thome, who is heralded as a genuine class act and regarded as one of the nicest people in all of baseball. T...

Twins End Losing Streak And Welcome Back Morneau
Posted on 11 Aug 2011 by Jonathan Fawkes.
On the heels of a 6 game losing streak during a disappointing injury riddled season, the Twins were in need of a boost. Nick Blackburn out dueled Jon Lester and the Twins scored 3 in the ninth after giving up their lead like they had in the first two games against Boston. Jim Thome did not hit HR number 599, but he did deliver the game winning RBI double to put the Twins ahead for good. J...

Twins Welcome Back Denard Span
Posted on 1 Aug 2011 by Jonathan Fawkes.
The Twins were very quiet at the trade deadline because according to GM Bill Smith, “I'd rather make no deal than a bad deal.” While this is an inarguable point the Twins are a team with a surplus of outfielders with Delmon Young, Michael Cuddyer, Jason Kubel, Ben Revere and Denard Span. Luckily Cuddyer can play first while Justin Morneau is still rehabbing from his neck surgery and...

Twins Finish Homestand At 6-6
Posted on 25 Jul 2011 by Jonathan Fawkes.
The Twins entered a 12 game homestand agaisnt their AL Central opponents 6.5 games back from the Tigers and finished it 7 games back. They took 3 out of 4 from the Royals, split 4 games with the Indians, and dropped 3 out of 4 to the Tigers. For a homestand where starting pitching was not particularly strong and the Twins could muster only 3.4 runs per game it could have gone much worse. I'm ...

Posted on 22 Jul 2011 by Adrian Fedkiw.

Will Detroit finally take the Central after a few heartbreaks in the past couple of seasons? Can Chicago and Minnesota get back in the race? We will offer our opinions as to how we think the AL Central will play out. http://www.talk...
