Twins

Going into their first home series of the year, the Twins were 3-3. Their opponents, the A's were 3-3 as well.

Now the A's are 6-3 on top of their division. The Twins are 3-6, firmly cemented at the bottom of theirs.

What's weird is that because of injuries, the A's were forced to rebuild their starting rotation this year. They did it with the same available pitching pool that the Twins could have signed. Their starting rotation looks great. Their defense is great. And they score a lot of runs. All at bargain basement prices.

Billy Bean's sabermetrics approach puts a winner on the field every single year. They haven't won a World Series yet, but they win their division a lot and almost always have at least 90 wins.

We really need baseball MINDS in Minnesota who understand why that method of fielding a team works. Boston does it too.

You know, last year's World Series winner.

It's not magic. It's math. And understanding what's needed and what stats are important.

The team we have fielded here is a joke. And it's not funny.
