That's right. Only 3 AL teams have outscored their opponents.
Definition of sell low - slow SS that’s batting .156 Correa isn’t going anywhere.
From Nick Nelson:
Carlos Correa launch angle by season
2021: 12.1
2022: 11.6
2023: 10.6
2024: 8.9
2025: 6.2
He currently ranks 13th out of 177 MLB hitters in GB% — bad news for a guy who cannot run — and the scary part is it seems like he's been trending this direction for a half-decade.
Was really encouraged by his performance LY. Good college hitter that hasn’t figured out the MLB. Another of the many concerning starts for the hitting side in 2025.
3 hits by the offense and Bad News Bears on the basepaths and defense. That’s been our recipe since mid-August. Teams are circling series with the Twins and ChiSox as a time to stack up some wins.
Hard to see a way out. There are so few bright spots.
As long as Emma makes some adjustments and Keaschall ramps back to full games from Tommy John they should be pressing Gasper and Keirsey by the all-star break (hopefully sooner)
Per Gleeman:
Twins announced their rotation for the Mets series:
Monday — Joe Ryan
Tuesday — Bailey Ober
Wednesday — David Festa
There had been some speculation that Zebby Matthews could make one of those starts, but the Twins will give Festa a second start instead.
From Gleeman:
Source: Twins are demoting Jose Miranda to Triple-A following his base-running blunder Saturday and .167 batting average in 12 games.
Brooks Lee is expected to be activated from the injured list to take Miranda's place on the Twins' active roster.
White Sox just beat the Red Sox, Braves looking like they’re gonna beat the Rays. Twins are the only team with 11 losses, although we may be joined by the Rockies in one of the later games.
Maybe like a Phoenix, we can rise from the ashes 🤣
This roster is going to get somebody fired and it will probably be Rocco. However, this roster was built by the front office. Not Rocco’s fault that he can’t field a team of 26 major leaguers.
The FO assembled a roster that doesn’t understand how to play baseball. This includes the guys they’ve signed and the guys they’ve developed. I cannot wrap my head around this.
