Bases Loaded - Twins Opponent OPS

[bean5302]

From MLB.com...

1.327

Remember that “Slam Diego” storyline built off the Padres’ unprecedented success with the bases loaded last season? Well, this is the opposite of that.

This is the Twins’ opponent OPS with the bases loaded. Yes, this would be a new record, surpassing the mark set by the 2015 Tigers (1.215). But what makes this even more incredible is that the 2020 Twins pitching staff had a .404 opponent OPS with the bases loaded -- the fifth-best mark all-time (albeit in a shortened season).

At least the Twins have company, because the Nationals’ pitching staff (1.099 through Wednesday) is on pace to set the all-time NL mark.

I'm sure if we let the opponents load the bases a few more times,  those numbers will go down. 

But, yeah, this is arguably the worst twins pitching staff in decades.

That's...not good...

Wow.

Not decades. The Twins don't even have the worst pitching staff in the league this year...though they are arguably in the bottom 5 of MLB this year.

That said, certainly the worst since 2016, when they had, by almost every measure we have, the worst pitching staff in MLB. 

So the worst in five years is a fair statement.
