All I wanted out of this Twins season was to watch Arraez's career flourish and see how his contact-first approach would influence this lineup for the better.

All I got was cheering for Arraez as a Marlin.

I've watched one Twins game this season. I've been invited to go to several and I've turned down all the invitations. I just really dislike this version of the team and my favorite player was here. This FO just had to want him on the team more than Joey Gallo.

I'm gonna go cry for a while. 

But really I'll just fish more this summer and watch a few Braves and Marlin games.

I've not watched many Twins games since Memorial Day. I'm with you, I'm watching more of the Braves and Marlins since that's where Eddie and Luis are. The prone to strikeout style of the Twins is unwatchable and even when they win they still strike out way too much.

I know I keep harping on this, but I watched a special on the Softbank Hawks here in Japan (the best team in JP baseball in the last decade), and it confirmed to me that routines are critical. They schedule BP twice a day (1:00 pm and 3:00 pm) when there are night games. Although the players don't neccessarily like coming to the ballprk early, they say the same thing. It helps their timing and they are able to lay off pitches outside of the strike zone. Why can't the Twins do this? ...because it is not part of the analytical plan....
