The scary thing is the Twins may not be able to feast on weak AL Central opponents that we’ve grown accustomed to in the last 5-10 years. The summer months get long when your favorite baseball team stinks.
Varland as the 5 is the result of slashing $30 million in payroll. At this point we need to play it out because the alternative isn’t much better. If he still stinks after 8-10 starts, then it’s time to move him to the bullpen or St. Paul.
This team simply isn't entertaining to watch at the moment. Reminiscent of the first 3 months last season when the offense stunk on a near nightly basis.
I’m just waiting things out for now. We’re in year 8 of Falvey/Levine and it’s not a good start. This is plenty of runway to build a pretty dang good team if they’re the real deal Holyfield.
Might be. I felt like this was a mid 80s win team assuming Lewis, Buxton, Correa, etc. played a reasonable amount of games. Lewis getting injured on opening day was a big buzzkill and to be honest I haven’t paid much attention since.
Pitching is usually more ready than hitting this time of year, so I am withholding criticism of the offense for now. This is going to be a tough week with the Super Dodgers coming to town. Fingers crossed it’s not worse than a 3-4 record by this time next week.
