Well the rest of the piece isn't exactly Twins Daily quality. There's no mention of Neil Allen at all, or that the staff is relying less on the fastball, or Plouffe's glove, Kyle Gibson, Escobar, the horrible opening series that would actually put the Twins at an even better record, and so on. The Grantland writer sees the W-L record and without knowing much about the Twins, concludes that they will inevitably backslide, without really understanding many of the deeper things that are happening. (And yeah they might backslide, etc)
