I would say you’re filtering what you see. The Twins aren’t a great team this year, but they are not the ‘62 Mets. 

The 62 Mets...lol.  I'm compareing them to other AL teams.  They probably rank 9th or 10th

They will be worse next season with Correa gone.  I don't see a core of players here that will lead to any level of success.

Yeah, it's so bad that everybody in the lineup (except Jeffers) is an above average hitter...

[sampleSizeOfOne]

What i miss?

[James]

Ryan is pitching in the 6th, huh?  I like it.

That's great, who will play short,Royce Lewis, with bad knees.  Most importantly, who wil get anybody out.  I see very little in this staff that gives me confidence.  And no 2-3 quality pitchers is not enough, and I see little help from the minor leagues

Welp….. ?

[Aggies7]

Ryan starts the 6th, gets an out, but has to come out. 78 pitches lol gotta unleash that strong bullpen

[IndianaTwin]

The announcers are not particularly good on the YouTube games, but I like the random dugout and crowd shots one gets during breaks. 

[SanoMustGo]

battle of the bullpens now....LOL

[James]

Rocco took him out because I said something about it, right?

9th or 10th in the AL is sort of a stretch I'd say. There's 2 dominant teams in the AL. Houston and the Yankees. You could easily say the Twins are the 3rd best team in the league. You can argue that if you will but they're closer to 3rd than 9 or 10

[stringer bell]

Seems like a quick hook.

I can neither confirm, nor deny, that I am a spreadsheet.

What is your favorite part about this team? Do they have any strengths that would they'd rank in the top 5 in the AL in in your opinion?

3rd?  Teams that are better...Houston, Boston NY, Tampa, Toronto, Seattle, and I would argue Texas.  Based on how they are playing Baltimore(who is at .500 and Cleveland based on recent head to head choke jobs against them.

I'm OK with Ryan coming out.

Better a couple hitters too early than watching Molitor trudge to the mound 3 runs too late.

Correa, Ryan, Arraez, Duran, Kiriloff, Miranda, & Gordon.  That's about it.  The rest of the team, you can have it.  That includes Buxton if he can't stay healthy.

[MMMordabito]

Thielbar loses the battle with P.E.D.ro.

Buxton below Mendoza line by AS break?

How can Buxton possibly have a .203 BABIP?  I know he's struggling but that's an astoundingly bad luck.

All the other teams you've mentioned besides the Yankees and Astros which I CLEARLY stated are the top teams. All the others have issues and holes just like the Twins. None of those teams are clearly better than the Twins at this point.

It could happen with the reliever coming in as well.  Rocco is overthinking it again, Ryan was still going strong.  You can't manage afraid.

It's simple, he is playing injured.

Too many go over the wall, so they don't help. ?

They are, what do you think the Twins record would be if they played in the AL East?
