Can't pitch with mittens, can ya?

Live here long enough you can do about anything with mittens on.

Milwaukee is a hell of a lot more fun to watch than a Baldelli led team.

3 hits yesterday in a game Jacob Junis started, 1 hit thru 3 innings against Joe Ross.. team BA around .180, with 1 home run in 4 1/2 games. Absolutely nothing to be excited about.

Careful, this is a family friendly thread.

There are 11 teams with a higher batting average than the Twins slugging percentage

well I certainly hate that

[RpR]

Looking at the Brewers' batting averages, they are the better team right now.

Ross is a AAA+ arm and the Twins can't get anything going.

Funny, the Twins had a .6667 slugging percentage before Lewis got injured.

Geez, they've only had 6 XBH since actually.

11 players have hit more HRs than the Twins as a team have hit. Mookie Betts already has 5.

So... we should bring up AAA+ batters?

[Aggies7]

Don’t blow your nose when we come up to bat. You’ll miss the entire half inning 

[TouchEmAllGuy]

C'mon, do something

Now it’s 12. I promise I won’t keep updating the list if it gets worse

I saw that in the 1st. 93-94 in the 2nd

Does look like its tailing off a bit.  4th inning will be interesting.

They've had that many??

Santana is on!

Whatever the Twins' line up consists of, they'll underperform so if they had AAA+ hitters, they'd produce like they were AA or A. 

[Aggies7]

Jeffers is just, yikes 

[RpR]

Spring Training is meaniing less other wise I would have expected this.

[farmerguychris]

At least Gallo and Sano are gone?  They are hitting 0.000 and 0.100 over the first week of the season.  I was hoping once those 2 were gone our team average would increase - seems they were about average for us to start the year.

Gotta love how much the pitch clock sped things up!

Oh wait...

The line-up as currently constructed isn't going to confuse anyone with the 1927 Yankees but it is certainly capable of beating up on pitchers like Ross. The issue lies with Rocco and Popkins so I will blame the FO for keeping the two clowns around.

I’m not sure this lineup could hit JEFF Ross, to be honest

[stringer bell]

New pitcher?

That really does appear to be the case thus far...

So far this year, Gallo and Sano are a combined 1/24 so far with 12 strikeouts. 😬

Jeffers still at .000 with no hard hit balls after an ops of 1.178 in spring 

 

spring stats don’t matter

It’s even worse if you count last postseason..
