On paper, the 2024 team should be worse than the 2023 team. It's starting to look like the 2024 team will end up with a worse record and no playoffs.

 As expected.

I think the Pohlads thought it was time for the pitching pipeline to provide some pitching to the major league club instead of shelling out for free agent pitching. Unfortunately the pipeline is only providing a trickle of help.

The defense has not helped the pitchers either. It has cost the Twins a few runs, many more pitches thrown and the snowball effect of longer innings and loss of momentum and added pressure on itself.

A win streak right now is all the therapy I  need.

I think our managers rely way too much on these ,"new age" stats. Hitting the ball hard is nice, but a hit is a hit, you've got to be able to hit em where they ain't. Expected stats are laughable. A guy goes 0-30 but they say oh, the numbers say he SHOULD be hitting .275 in these situations. What the computer says is EXPECTED doesn't matter, only what ACTUALLY happens. We need a little more old school baseball IQ in a manager, not someone who only goes by numbers and is too stubborn to admit when he's wrong and change up 

If only they had guys who can stay on the field, or at least most of the time. They'd be in contention.

But what would the medical staff do?
