Lee

Clemens

Bell

Lewis

Larnach

These guys do NOT strike fear in pitchers' hearts as our #2-#6 hitters. 

I mean, Lewis is our cleanup hitter? C'mon.

Heading towards same or worse record as last year minus the fire sale. That’s nuts.

Hard to believe 2 weeks ago this was playoff team. Complete and utter collapse in Augist  just like last two seasons.  8 total wins this month by Zoll and manager, and players.

The second half fade is becoming part of this team’s make-up.

The core of their earlier success was relatively great health from Buxton, traditional first half health from Ryan, Lewis looking like he figured it out, completely unexpected bullpen success from Morris and Gomez, and the best years of their careers from Larnach, Jeffers, and Clemens. Nearly all of those things have reverted to the mean.

They said Clemens has had 111 batting average in August and he bats 3rd or 4th in this line-up. I like Clemens bat but he is not a clean up hitter. Just not an ideal line-up. Larnach is non-tender candidate and he is former 1st round pick.

White Sox had a 60-102 2025 season...went worst to first...poor division but still...

They're on track to win 86 games this year. Proof that turnarounds can happen!

It was expectations and unexpected early success. This roster is worse than 2025's. Lost in the elimination of the entire bullpen is that Correa and Bader were their second and third best position players at the time they were traded.

You don't have to like Correa, but the Twins don't win their 2023 playoff series (only playoff series win since 2002) without him.

Most overrated Twin of all time

I think his injuries have been valid....but a bit too much hope and desire for him to succeed...clouded perspective as a superstar

i like him but he is a Cheater and should never be celebrated

Not even one good at bat since 5th inning.  Now gonna be 8 games under 500. Big let down how poorly they have played in August.
