My concern isn’t that the Twins are not winning games or not pitching well. My concern is that they are falling behind in the race, like last year, and they might still not have character to overcome that, like last year. Trailing by 6 games after playing a lot of good teams with the pitching staff falling apart isn’t a big deal. Or at least it’s not a big deal if the team is steady and positive and waits to overcome it. This team is better than last year’s team, and they should be able to work back. The pitching should come back to earth. The offense is ok, and the depth is much better than last year. But the players need to have the right frame of mind to come back. They have to decide to identify with last years Indians rather than last years Twins. And the coaching staff needs to stay calm and not trying to fix things that will fix themselves. Gardy loves to mix up the lineup, mix up the roster, and try to find and fix problems that aren’t there. That’s not going to help this.
