He’s struggled to replicate that performance ever since, and has become known for being a slow starter. 2020 however offers some encouraging signs in the early going.

Fortunately, they’ll be getting a shot in the arm in the form of a 2019 All-Star making his 2020 debut.

Just 14 games into the 60-game season, the offense has not looked great, but has it been as bad as we think? We all remember. The 2019 Minnesota Twins offense, th...9678Sat, 08 Aug 2020 15:20:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/trust-the-process-the-twins-are-navigating-uncharted-injury-waters-as-best-they-can-r9676/Stop me if you’ve heard this before, but the times, they are unprecedented.

Lewis Thorpe has never been known as a flame thrower, but his fastball is now sitting at under 90 mph, which is certainly concerning.
