    NOOOOOOOOOOO!

    Taking the run-scoring numbers and converting that to winning makes sense and follows. What doesn't follow is how a team with a less-than-.700 OPS third in run-scoring? How is a team with a more than .720 OPS-against allowing fewer runs than the offense is scoring? Couple that with a really limited running game and an acknowledged bottom-half defense and I am really surprised that the Twins have scored as many as they have and suppressed runs on pitching/defense as well as they have. A quarter of the season is in the books, so the sample size isn't that small.

    The Twins are 23-17. In the "up your predictions" thread, there has been a good discussion of luck, peripherals, and a lot of other factors that have contributed to the good record. I'm not convinced that the Twins will contend given the shakiness of the bullpen, the lack of upside of the current rotation and still rather large holes at key positions. However, they have to proceed as contenders right now, no matter what advanced statistics and believers in a full rebuild would say. Certainly, I concur that Twins have to go forward as if they are contenders. There are factors that indicate that the team can continue to be relevant throughout the summer. First of all, there is much room for improvement from players who have performed well in this decade. Secondly, there is help available in the minor leagues for the Twins soft spots--the pitching staff, center field and maybe catcher. The Twins have a good lineup, surprising strengths in the pitching staff and so far, a bulletproof back end of the bullpen. I guess I will believe until the Twins really hit the skids.

    Thank goodness! The nighttime cough medicine is starting to kick in.
  5. stringer bell
    It is 2 unassisted.
  6. stringer bell
    He's got to get in line. Stauffer, Duensing, Pressly, Thompson are all ahead of him.
  7. stringer bell
    Odds against the road team in this tie game.
  8. stringer bell
    Cutch was 0-7 in the series, pretty hard to contain a superstar for two full games.
  9. stringer bell
    Guess not.
  10. stringer bell
    It looks like three runs will have to be enough.
  11. stringer bell
    Another trip to the well with Boyer?
  12. stringer bell
    Nice job by ROOGy Tonkin.
  13. stringer bell
    Concur.
  14. stringer bell
    Thompson looks.........hittable. I think it is time to shake up the bullpen.
  15. stringer bell
    They wouldn't bat for Pelf in the seventh would they? He's batting 1.000!
  16. stringer bell
    Nice game setter! This is the tightest spread of hitters I can remember. The lowest hitter in batting average is .248, the top guy is at .293.
  17. stringer bell
    Nolasco now leads the pitching staff in the only stat that counts-wins baby!
  18. stringer bell
    Easy enough.
  19. stringer bell
    Perk can't make it too easy.
  20. stringer bell
    Way too much drama for a seven run lead.
  21. stringer bell
    Nine outs to get. Pretty sure it will come down to Perk vs. Cutch.
  22. stringer bell
    I blame me.
  23. stringer bell
    Nolasco has had a lot of offensive help, but not so much on defense.
  24. stringer bell
    Batting practice fastball. I was just going to say this is a big inning for Nolasco.
  25. stringer bell
    I think Nolasco will induce some anxiety before his outing is done.
