The bad fielding concerns me. This team is in the lower half of the league in fielding, an aspect of the game that used to be a strength. With their pitching staff, the Twins don't have a lot of room for error when (if) they get to the playoffs. Don't give the opposition more outs! With 10 games remaining, I think they still need to win 5 or 6 to make the playoffs. -
Cooper - I have seen too many misses. It makes me expect the worst, although I think you are basically correct. But I really agree with Rochester that those Fangraphs (and in-game) odds are pretty bogus. I would love to see an analysis of how accurate they are. That said, odds are in the Twins' favor, and they control their destiny.

I definitely agree that the Twins will need Berrios in top form every start if they are to go anywhere. But watching them lose 2 of 3 to Cleveland and again tonight the the Nats, I'm starting to fear them missing the playoffs entirely. Cleveland has a tougher last 12 games then the Twins, but if they win their next 4 (sweep the Twins), I could see them beating the Twins out around the last day or two, while the Rays and A's pass the Twins as well. That would be one of the worst cases of Minnesota losing out ever, and we have a few bad ones. Sorry to be a downer.

It's a great feeling to have a team that is looking like a true contender - and thanks for the article! Run differential is out of this world, pitching has been the biggest surprise to me, low on giving up walks, fielding seems above average, and the homers are nice, although hitting a bunch of home runs has never been the top of my list for a team - I'll take runs however they are generated. I hope these guys can keep up a decent pace! Of course, the Minnesota Sports Fan in me has to look at the dark side and point out that, if my count is correct, the Twins are 9-10 against teams that as of yesterday were .500 or better. The flip side is that makes them 27-7 against the rest!
