The twins would be 0-9 to start the season Mauer and Escobar would be leading the team in hits. Nunez would have the best batting average on the team. Mauer would have more homeruns than Sano at this point. Starting pitching would be one of the strengths of this team. Sure in the hell was not me. I was fairly optimistic of the Twins chances this year to compete this year building off of the success they had last year. I am one that usually makes it to about 5-7 games a year as I live 3
Well after today we will be a third of the way to tying the 88 O's for most consecutive losses to start a season. I don't know about you all but I believe we just may have the talent to surpass them. Fingers crossed.
I am not a follower of Donald Trump. I have participated in several no kings rallies and am disgusted with what he and his followers have done to our country and the world. I would like to know what most Brazilians feel about the United States now and about the folks our citizens have elected to represent us.
Just read your article on Twins defense this year and I couldn’t agree more. Pair poor defense with an over abundance of left handed hitters, players who have failed to show they can hit consistently, and a pitching staff lacking in quality starters (Ryan excepted) and we have the makings of a team that is going to lose90-100 games this year.
I read your article on Walker Jenkins. Derek Falvey’s player scouting and development operation has produced few, if any, long term starting position players who can field and hit well enough to be regulars over a nine year period. For this reason I am inclined to be skeptical about Jenkins until he proves otherwise. I hope I’m proven wrong but, given the Twins inability to find and develop position players who have the ability to hit and defend over any period of time, I fear I may be proven correct. We shall see.
