The Twins were a big surprise this season. I’m disappointed as are many that they haven’t played better in NY. But unless you catch lightning in a bottle you just can’t win in the playoffs without reliable starting pitching. The lack of it affects all aspects of the game. Slow innings with upwards of twenty pitches has the defense on its heels, puts way too much pressure on the offense and is a negative force to the overall morale of the team. Why the FO passed on pitching help this year is a big question mark, hopefully they fix it in the off season. If they don’t then their goals are not the same as most loyal fans. I will watch until this series is over. Can the Twins win three in a row? Of course they can. The odds are against them for sure but they won’t give up. I don’t believe a sweep though defines this team in any way. These players had nothing to do with past teams performances and I certainly don’t believe in childish curses. Win or lose the Twins will be back, they definitely have something to build on here. Fixing the pitching should obviously be the top priority and we will all be watching closely. I am not embarrassed by this team, they are relatively young and exceeded all expectations for this season. They have no realistic chance for a Championship this season and to say its World Series or bust this season just isn’t practical. But it’s never too late to catch lightning in a bottle! It’s baseball anything can happen. Win or lose though, I’m still a Twin’s supporter and a fan. Go Twins!
