Sunday Charts

I thought I'd post my charts. There's absolutely no good news here. Let's be clear. This was lost in the first half of the season. What we are experiencing and will continue to experience is a very long denouement.
It's time to cut this guy and play someone else. Anybody else. Hopefully we didn't give up anybody good here. Wouldn't you just be sick if it is anyone other than Luis Rivas? (For the record, I know it isn't Rivas.)
| J.C. Twin | |||||||||
| AB | R | H | 2B | 3B | HR | RBI | OBP | SLG | OPS |
| 53 | 3 | 9 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 3 | .241 | .170 | .411 |
A while back, your best buddy SBG was the first Twins blogger to tell you definitively that the Twins wouldn't make the postseason. Why? Because of their brutal second half schedule. You'll see that the Twins have split games against Detroit and Baltimore, two teams that have fallen off in the second half. Against New York, Boston and LAA? Not so good. With 38 of their remaining 58 games left against teams north of .500, it just doesn't get any easier.
| Twins Second Half Record | |||
| vs. sub .460 teams | vs. .460 up to .500 teams | .500 to .540 teams | vs. teams above .540 |
| 0-0 | 4-4 | 0-0 | 2-8 |
Like I've said, they aren't going to win the wild card. Look at Cleveland. They are tied with the Twins and their schedule gets much easier. Hello, third place in the Central.
