CBS Evening News (Hartman) p. 20 Twins players moved over details of Rod Carew's heart transplant LaVelle E. Neal III | Star Tribune | April 15, 2017 About 20 Twins players have been on a text string with Rhonda Carew over the past several months, receiving updates about Hall of Famer Rod Carew as he waited for a heart transplant. They were all thrilled when a donor heart became available in December. On Friday, they learned where the heart came from. “I read the story, and I started tearing up,” Twins second baseman Brian Dozier said. Carew, who was on the transplant list after suffering a massive heart attack in September 2015, now has the heart of Konrad Reuland, a former NFL player with the Jets and Ravens. Reuland was working out on Dec. 12 when he suffered an aneurysm and died. His family donated his organs. Carew was moved up the donor list on Dec. 9 after Rhonda and doctors lobbied for him after a subdural hematoma he dealt with in July made it impossible for him to take blood thinners. After the heart attack, Carew was fitted with a left ventricular assist device that helped pump blood and had been waiting for a transplant. Surgery took place on Dec. 14. According to the San Jose Mercury News, friends read the two stories and wondered if it was the same heart. Reuland’s mother, Mary, contacted Rhonda. A meeting between the families was arranged, and they are now forever connected. Dozier is thrilled for Carew, but he’s also thrilled about what kind of person Konrad was. “Being faith-based, I think of how good of a guy Rod is,” Dozier said. “Then I learned about Konrad. You can’t make this stuff up.” Carew is slowly becoming more active, such as being allowed to drive a car. Twins President Dave St. Peter said that Carew remains under a travel restriction but, hopefully, will be cleared to attend a Twins game by midsummer. “You cannot help but be filled with an array of emotions when learning about Rod Carew’s connection with Konrad Reuland,” St. Peter said. “The Minnesota Twins organization sends prayers to the Reuland family. In my view, today’s a day to celebrate Konrad’s life as well as his impact on and off the field.” Nailed down Brandon Kintzler has not appeared in a game since Sunday, which has been good for his right index finger. In his last outing, his cracked fingernail began to bleed despite attempts to glue it together. Moreover, some of the glue got on his finger. “Then I couldn’t feel the ball,” Kintzler said. “Every ball I threw to the first guy in the ninth went in the ground.” Both Kintzler and manager Paul Molitor think the time off has helped. One unknown is whether he will be able to handle a busy workload, back-to-back games or three games in five days. “No, I’m sure I will be fine,” Kintzler said. He initially cracked it during spring training. He thinks it’s because he’s throwing more sliders. Last season, 7.3 percent of his pitches were sliders. This year, it’s up to 19.2 percent. Consequently, he’s down to 80.8 percent fastballs from 88.0 last season. “I haven’t thrown sliders in years,” Kintzler said. “That nail is probably trying figure out what’s going on.” The Twins want Kintzler to stick with the slider usage, but the nail could have something to say about that. “It’s a pretty good slider,” Molitor said. Etc. • First baseman ByungHo Park, on the seven-day disabled list at Class AAA Rochester, has a right hamstring strain that’s not considered serious, Molitor said. • Lefthander Tyler Jay, the sixth overall pick in 2015, is on the seven-day DL at Class AA Chattanooga with biceps tendinitis. The Twins hope he can return to action in early May. Twins lose series opener to White Sox on soggy night at Target Field LaVelle E. Neal III | Star Tribune | April 15, 2017 The first two Twins to bat on Friday reached base. Then there were two doubles in the second inning. The home team had leadoff hitters reach base in each of the first three innings. The Twins had one run to show for it. One. And that allowed an untested White Sox pitcher to wiggle his way into the middle innings. And it allowed Matt Davidson’s late-inning homer to 2 help Chicago edge the Twins 2-1 in the first of a three-game series at Target Field. That 2-1 score didn’t work well in the Twin Cities on Friday. But the number of runs matched the number of Garcias in the White Sox lineup. The White Sox starting outfield was Willy Garcia in left, Leury Garcia in center and Avisail Garcia in right. According to the Elias Sports Bureau, it was the first time in major league history that three players with the same last name started in the same outfield. Reliever Dan Jennings got the win for the White Sox, but it was Dylan Covey — a Rule 5 pick by Chicago in December — who gave up just one earned run over 5 ⅓ innings. Fresh meat was on the mound against a Twins offense that lacked bite. “We had that guy in his first start,” Twins manager Paul Molitor said. “We put a little pressure on him, but we couldn’t push a lot across early. We had some hitter’s counts early. We rolled over a lot of balls tonight. I give him credit for hanging in there.” Twins lefthander Adalberto Mejia was a little better in his second outing, holding the White Sox to one run over five innings on four hits and three walks with four strikeouts. Last Saturday in Chicago, he was pulled in the second inning after throwing 40 pitches but getting only two outs “I felt better,” Mejia said. “More confident. I left the past in the past, and I prepared better for this start.” Despite Molitor’s lineup construction, destruction and reconstruction, the Twins have not found a nine that can consistently generate offense. A few were on point Friday. Brian Dozier was 2-for-3 with a stolen base but was thrown out trying to stretch a double into a triple in the fifth on a very close play. “It looked to me like the replay was inconclusive,” Molitor said. Jorge Polanco was 2-for-3. Miguel Sano drew two walks. But a few other hitters are searching for their swings. The Twins were set up for a fast start in the first when Dozier singled and stole second and Robbie Grossman followed with a walk. But Joe Mauer tapped into a double play, the start of his 0-for-4 night that dropped his average to .188. “He’s centered up a fair amount of balls that haven’t ended up in hits,” Molitor said. “We all know he hits into the defense a lot. That’s one of the problems with good at-bats that don’t get hits.” Max Kepler doubled to lead off the second, moved to third on a passed ball and scored on Jason Castro’s groundout. That was the Twins offense at its best on Friday. Dozier led off the third with a walk, and that was followed by three consecutive fielder’s choices.

Freeman Director of Football Stanford ’94 Third Season After serving as Stanford’s offensive coordinator for four seasons from 2007-10, David Shaw was appointed the Bradford M. Freeman Director of Football on January 13, 2011, becoming the 34th head coach in Stanford history. A 1995 Stanford graduate who is the fifth alum to hold the position of head football coach, Shaw signed a long-term contract extension following the 2012 regular season. Through his second season as the Cardinal head coach, Shaw holds a remarkable 23-4 (.852) career record. Shaw guided the Cardinal to a 12-2 record in 2012 and its first Pac-12 Championship in 13 years. The campaign culminated with Stanford’s first Rose Bowl victory in over 40 years, a 20-14 win over Wisconsin in the 2013 edition of The Granddaddy of Them All. The Rose Bowl berth marked the third consecutive BCS bowl for Stanford, a feat claimed by just seven other schools. On the heels of the 2012 Fiesta Bowl and 2011 Orange Bowl, the Cardinal has achieved the rare distinction of Honors and Awards playing in three different BCS bowls in three straight years.
