The historic Twins offense are in another record chase

Shobae · July 15, 2023

We all know this twins offense is going strong to beat the major league record in strikeouts, looking not just to beat the 2021 Cubs record but to demolish it. With by a projected 200 strikeouts over the Cubs. But there is another record chase that nobody seems to be talking about, though I feel like most fans have wondered "is this the worst team with the bases loaded of all time?". Well unfortunately I don't have access to public data about team stats with the bases loaded older than 2002, however if we look at that time frame the twins currently maintain the lowest ops with bases loaded in a full season (2020 royals who are worse are being ignored). The number to beat is .439 by the god awful 2012 Houston Astros, with the twins having a healthy lead at .414. However, there still quite a bit of season left here and just a few big innings could move their numbers past the Astros. Do you think they'll be able to pull of not only one but two records this season?
