There was never a real window for this team, other than the 307 home run season of 2019. That will cover whatever weaknesses the team had. Last year, it was pitching that led the team to a 36-24 record. Twins dropped from 2nd to 18th in runs scored last year, but the pitching was so good it covered the offensive regression. So far this season, the Twins are 10th in runs scored, but we have seen all their failures in key situations. Add in a serious lack of pitching, defense, and the intangibles winning teams display, and we have what we have. We have seen good things from Kiriloff, Larrnach, and moments of promise from some of the other young guys. But, this team has no chance if Donaldson, Sano, Cruz, & Buxton don't produce. Taken as a group, they, for many reasons, have not.
