Game Thread: Twins @ Tigers, 9/25 6:08pm CT

We've got to figure out why two of our best horses, Dozier and Perkins, are great out of the gate but lousy with stamina.  For the Twins to contend next season, they can't continue having all-world first halves (well actually, I'd love it if they both had all-world first halves next year) and lousy second halves. I think it's different for both. Perkins seems to break down physically in the second half (Glen: mix in some yoga or Joe's stretching program this offseason) and Dozier seems to break down mentally in the second half, trying to pull everything as his BA slumps.

Wait a moment... Did you actually hit your hand with hammer for the sole purpose of a game thread intro?!

 

That totally escaped me (due to viewing it through the forum mechanism rather than the article mechanism)

 

Alas, the Twins didn't even win the game. Now that's tragic.
