RON GARDENHIRE RUMORS

Rocky rotation is sinking Twins

Through most of Ron Gardenhire's tenure as manager, the Minnesota Twins have won with a consistent set of starting pitchers who have been remarkably good at avoiding injuries. The Twins have used 10 or more starting pitchers in a season just twice since 2002, and in both of those seasons -- 2006 and 2009 -- they gave a handful of starts to September call-ups. This season, though...

Twins, Mariners try to reverse recent fortunes

Ron Gardenhire didn't mince words by saying that his Minnesota Twins "looked like a bunch of Little Leaguers" their last time out. The Seattle Mariners probably haven't been quite that bad during their longest losing streak of the season. The visiting Twins will try to end their 19-inning scoreless drought Friday night in the opener of a three-game set against...

Time to End Gardy Time?

You may have noticed that the Minnesota Twins are not good. They are certainly a long way from 2010, when they won the American League Central for the second year in a row. That meant it was time for certain writers to start talking (again) about how Ron Gardenhire was maybe The Best Manager in Baseball, because, hey, someone had to be making the Twins win against all odds (supposedly...

After loss, Twins own worst record in baseball

Minnesota Twins pitching has been abysmal this season, but it's not the only reason Minnesota is the worst team in baseball. No matter what they do, the Twins generally find a way to lose. "We've got to find a way to win it, no matter how you look at it -- offense, pitching," manager Ron Gardenhire said after his team dropped a 7-6 decision to the Kansas City...

Twins' Span, Gardenhire ejected vs. Yankees

Minnesota Twins outfielder Denard Span and manager Ron Gardenhire were ejected in the third inning of Tuesday's game against the New York Yankees.

Liriano, Twins look to repeat win over Yankees

Wins have been few and far between for the Minnesota Twins in the Bronx under Ron Gardenhire. The percentages for consecutive victories over the New York Yankees seem to be against them Tuesday night when Francisco Liriano tries to end his early-season struggles. Minnesota (3-7) improved to just 6-28 in the regular season at both Yankee Stadiums under Gardenhire with Monday night...

Twins' offense lagging, but confidence is high

MINNEAPOLIS Twins manager Ron Gardenhire talked before his team's home opener Monday about Minnesota's lack of offense through its first three games. The Twins scored just five total runs in the season-opening series against the Baltimore Orioles and failed to score more than two runs in a game. Gardenhire delivered a similar message following Monday's 5-1 loss to the...

Twins' Gardenhire wants to see fewer doctors

MINNEAPOLIS -- Twins manager Ron Gardenhire had never seen a season quite like 2011 in regard to injuries. Heck, he even had an Achilles' injury at one point in the season. As the health of the Minnesota Twins dwindled, so too did the wins. From the first week of the season until the last game of the year, Gardenhire never had a full squad on the field as the Twins finished...
