No offense

Won’t win many games with anemic offense.

Care to elaborate? Hard to discuss one line.

The rotation of the earth really makes my day!

My wife told me to stop impersonating a flamingo. I had to put my foot down! 

What if there were no hypothetical questions?

Why do we park on a driveway and drive on a parkway?

I nicknamed my hippie friend's wife Mississippi.

Hard to score when 1/3 of the starting lineup is flirting with-or-already below the Mendoza Line.

If you don't go to other people's funerals they won't go to yours.

Can you think of another word for thesaurus?

To address the post with some seriousness: this topic is discussed in endless variation in other threads at this site, and yet, I don't think it is overplayed.  Despite a few outbursts in a scattered few games, leading to a superficially decent total of runs scored, this offense can not hit major league pitching.  It can take advantage when a good pitcher is having a bad day with his command, or AAAA types who don't have the command in the first place, but when an established pitcher is on his game, this team fails to hit.  I believe they are coached on how to capitalize to the maximum extent on pitching mistakes; whatever strategy it is leaves them totally vulnerable when those mistakes don't happen.  We see some of the young hitters do well at AAA and then stop hitting when called up. I don't know specifically why.

Say it again: this offense can not hit major league pitching.

Lack of offense frustrates me most.  This offense is real JOKE.     Boot Garlick and recall Wallner.    Correa needs to start hitting!

[insagt1]

no one is performing to potential anymore. No one is hitting, even a little. So many are or have been injured. Are Twins now learning what the Mets and Giants feared about Correa? He has been terrible. Buxton has gone from a 5 tool superstar to a liability. The man tries, but he just can't avoid injuries. DH experiment has failed and as soon as you put him CF, he will break, sprain, twist something and that will be that, guaranteed. If we wanted a guy who will hit a few monster HR's and strike out 200 times, we could have kept Sano...Gallo is that guy. Really kind of useless. No point in going thru the whole roster. Its wash, rinse, repeat.

I'm amazed they are playing .500 ball at the moment. But over the past week it has been butt ugly watching them flail away accomplishing nothing.

They have big problems.

I still believe our batters will start hitting up to their potentials/reputations soon, and when that happens we should win the division comfortably. However, that belief is being tested more and more with each passing day.

The fo is the culprit. Every move it (they) make(s) backfires. Correa at $30mil/year....give me a break. Royce Lewis should have been the short stop since he was drafted. Either that or they wasted a number 1 overall pick. Every year the same players have POTENTIAL. Every year Buxton won't be sidelined with injuries even as the best or one of the best defensive center fielders is used strictly as a dh and still is injured. Very simply the owner(s) backed up by disfunctional management and a manager who changes lineups every game so that the players can't ever settle in even if they could are not committed to winning baseball games. 1 2 1 0 1....runs in last 5 games.

The Twins just completed their 25th game scoring 2 runs or less. Their record in these games is 4-21. 

They have scored 3 runs or less in 32 out of 63 games. Their record is 7-25. Over 50% of the time the offense gives the team a minimal chance to win a baseball game.
