How many runners can one team strand? How many decent –and even great– pitching performances can one team waste? How does a team that scored 32 runs in a doubleheader in Chicago turn around and manage just 24 runs in six games coming out of the All Star break?
I’ll be good and damned if I know.
In case you’re not paying close attention, that’s five straight one-run games, and three straight one-run losses.
This is the fucking American League, dammit. Get a real DH.
It’s all strictly for entertainment purposes the rest of the way. Let’s see the Twins prove me wrong.
If you’re interested in more on this sorry impasse, go over and check out my conversation with Britt Robson and David Brauer at On the Ball. We go into the morass in a bit more detail there.
