Six games left. Another bad year. Since the season is all but over, let's take a look at how the team performed versus the league.

Batting: 9th (4.38 runs/game)
Pitching: 14th (5.19 runs/game)
Starters: 14th (5.94 runs/game)
Relievers: 8th (4.19 runs/game)
Fielding: 11th (.688 DefEff)

Compared to last year:
Batting: 13th (3.82 runs/game)
Pitching: 13th (4.96 runs/game)
Starters: 12th (5.16 runs/game)
Relievers: 14th (4.94 runs/game)
Fielding: 14th (.677 DefEff)

I don't think the numbers for this season are describing anything we don't already know: the starters have been awful. I do think the improvement in the offense and relief pitching from bad to below average makes this season not a complete loss. I am very curious what the Twins will do this offseason.

The Twins need one more win in the remaining twelve games in order to match last year's win total. They could top 70 wins if they actually finish well, but that's just not going to happen.

Dick'n'Bert talked about how great it is that the Twins have their own park and not having to play early games on Saturday. So the Twins then play.. and early game on Saturday.
