Minnesota Twins: 2013 Season Thread

Re: Minnesota Twins: 2013 Season Thread

I care more about the Twins than the Vikings, Wild, and Wolves combined. But boy they suck.

Someone broke into my car and left a pair of Twins tickets in the front seat :(

Re: Minnesota Twins: 2013 Season Thread

Well, with the loss last night, the Twins can no longer get to 70 wins this season. As a result, this marks the first 3-year stretch in Minnesota Twins history where the team failed to get to 70 wins in at least 1 of the three years. The last time the franchise went 3 straight seasons with fewer than 70 wins was from 1957-1959 (as the Washington Senators...in a 154 game season). FWIW, the Senators won fewer than 70 games from 1954-1959.

That being said, if the Twins win at least 1 of the final 3 against Cleveland, they will have improved their win total in each of the past two seasons (going from 63 wins in '11, to 66 in '12, to 67/68/69 in '13)....Hey, it's improvement! :p:D:D

Well that was a lovely 5-19 stretch to finish out the season. Outscored 159 to 69 along the way, including giving up 11, 18, 12, 11, 11 and 12 in a three-week period.

(And thanks FS23 for that "this is the 1st time in team history we've had three seasons in a row without at least 70 wins each year" tidbit. You're a real pal. :D)

The park is pretty, tho'. :rolleyes:

Just trying to put things into perspective. While I certainly wouldn't argue that this is the worst three year stretch in Twins history, it definitely could be made.

I thought 70-75 wins should have been the goal this season, and if not for the 5-19 stretch down the finish, it certainly could have been realized (even a .400 record over that span would have yielded 9-10 wins, and a 70 win season). This team has a lot of talent in the system, and it will be interesting to see how they develop. Obviously, it is difficult to make much of a prediction/goal for next season, but I would certainly think 70-75 wins is reasonable.

I don't see the Twins losing another game this year.
 
Re: Minnesota Twins: 2013 Season Thread

I don't think it matters much who the manager is when the talent isn't there.
I do think though that Rick Anderson should be fired (4 years ago)

Exactly. There's nobody out there who's proven that they'd be better than Gardy.
