1. This just makes me sad. Awesome rotation that could be EVEN better if Mahle and Kenta were fully healthy. Lineup that can’t adjust and focus on Good at bats and a Bullpen that’s just doing okay.

2. When do we EVER have a rotation this good??? It’s been ages.

   And it’s being spoiled by our offense.

   Is it Freaky Friday?

3. It’s the balance triangle of Twins baseball.

4. Don’t worry guys. We’ll score 16 runs in Ryan’s next start to bring our lineup numbers up and then not score a run for 4 straight games. Rinse, repeat. 🙂

5. Lineup has been solid for years. Rotation has been shaky, at best, for years. Now we fixed one and wrecked the other? Why can’t we just have nice things

6. I think the Arraez trade was the right move, but it really would be nice to have a .432/.491 hitter batting leadoff.

7. Our lineup appears to be very unlucky right now, guys are hammering the ball (top 10 in barrels and hard hit %) which tends to correlate with a high BABIP but we’re bottom 10 in BABIP.

   Some of that is guys being slowish and another part could be hard hit fly balls but some percentage of those should turn into home runs anyway. Cold weather keeping the ball in the yard?

8. Good thing we traded away Ted Williams as a rookie for our 2nd starter guys

   Dont look now, but Arraez is also top 5 in dWar in the NL too.

9. We need a new hitting coach. The shit that these guys are chasing is ridiculous

10. Our hitting will improve. Correa is too good to stay this bad. I think, hope, pray that Miranda will come back. Our rotation will come back to earth but probably never be bad. Gray and Ryan will return to the mean. Lopez should be even better. Mahle and Maeda well they might be done but then Ober and Varland will fill in. Bullpen is where it should be. I think this team was built with an A starting rotation, a B- lineup and B- pen.
