I feel like it is gonna come crashing down just like last season

Things came crashing down last season because the amount of injuries brought in players who had no business seeing regular time on the field.

The Twins are 5th in baseball in BAwRISP this season. Hitting .277.

You are correct. I don’t know how but you are. 
 

26th BA in late and close games though 😉 

[Hawkeye Bean Counter]

Is De Leon going to get us through 2 innings?  Looking good so far.  

[Craig Arko]

DeLeon almost looks worth Brian Dozier.

I certainly wouldn't have guessed it. I look it up pretty frequently to keep myself from riding the game to game rollercoaster too much.

[SwainZag]

De Leon strikes out Betts and Freeman on 6 pitches.  Just like we predicted.

[Marcos]

FO sweating profusely with Correa output

Hopefully that doesn't happen this season, especially with the rotation. I worry the rotation won't be able to keep up it's strong start and since the offense can't score, they'll go through a stretch of losing that will allow the other teams in the central to gain ground.

Is there a way to break it down by situation? Maybe it’s skewed in games that aren’t close. 26th in BA in “late and close” games, however that’s defined

I wonder what the average with bases loaded and less than 2 outs is.

[stringer bell]

De Leon is on the hook, as Halsey would say. Yeah, I'm old.

[OvertheHill]

I hope we’re not getting Pagan’d 

[rwilfong86]

They're playing with fire here.

[Aggies7]

Cmon Emilio don’t waste your new lease on life 

[stringer bell]

They took Polanco out? What's up with that?

[SwainZag]

Pagan getting squeezed or just missing?

[stringer bell]

This looks like 2022 Pagan.

[Aggies7]

FFS dude make them earn it

You can slice and dice it just about any way you can think of on fangraphs splits leaderboard. It's a fun little tool.

Walking Hayward is a Felony

[Aggies7]

Gross

[HawksNest]

Dude, c'mon

[stringer bell]

Oh Emilio!!!

[wavedog]

Unbelievable - walk in another run this series

[Muppet]

Are there any bullpen pitchers in St. Paul that need a job? How about AA?

[Aggies7]

Omg goodnight 

[danielp19653]

That was the most pagan appearance of all time
