I think we are watching a 90+ loss team

[High heat]

Let’s face it there isn’t a huge difference between a 85 win team and a 90 loss team but a few injuries and bounces here or there.  
 

This team looks lifeless and defeated at the first single of adversity.  The bullpen isn’t as good as it was advertised and neither is the rotation and the hitters look  as advertised ( not that good)  

Sell the assets and the team and here comes a 5+ yr rebuild.

Seems like this entire organization is headed into " Death Valley " which is what Kirby Puckett called playing for the Twins from 1993 and on.

That Valley lasted 8 years. I will take 5.

Well with the way Baldelli is over using the bullpen and pulling the starters early it’s pretty much a certainty.  He’s lost two games already yanking starters on low pitch counts for no reason.

Yes, we are watching a 90 or even 100 loss team right now. I just don't believe for a second it'll stay that way. The Twins have a solid, but not dominant, rotation which will keep them in games. The team has enough talent in the lineup to score enough runs. It all adds up to a team which is right about .500 on the season. Things are going to warm up over time though I do not think this team has the management and leadership to make the playoffs.
