Byron Buxton was right: The Twins' offense IS nasty

© Provided by Bring Me The Sports on FanNation
Tuesday marks one full week since the Minnesota Twins beat Clayton Kershaw and the Dodgers, prompting Byron Buxton to warn the baseball world that the Twins' lineup is "nasty" and "dangerous."

"It just shows how different we are — our mentality and who we are becoming as a team," Buxton said, according to the Star Tribune. "We didn't go out there today like, 'Oh, Kershaw's pitching.' It was like, 'They're facing the Twins. … You've got to pitch to us. We nasty. We dangerous.' And once we get it clicking, it's going to be way worse."

It's worse alright. Since that 5-1 victory in L.A., the Twins have lost four of five and averaged 3.2 runs per game.

Over the last seven days the Twins as a team are slashing .222/.312/.377 with 16 runs. Only the Padres (13 runs), Royals (12), Brewers (12) and Athletics (8) have been more putrid in the last week.

Nasty? No. Dangerous? To fans' health, maybe.

Twins batters have struck out 63 times in the last five games. Only the Angels (65) have struck out more in the past week of MLB action, though they've played one more game so the Twins are striking out more times per game since Buxton's "nasty" comment than any team in the majors.

When the Twins actually put the ball in play they are batting .316 in the past seven days, which is actually seventh best in the big leagues. But an average of 12.6 strikeouts per game means they're not putting the ball in play very often, which is why their team batting average in the last week is .222

In other words, the Twins have been Henry Blanco at the plate. Blanco hit .223 in his 19-year career that included a stop with the Twins in 2004.


No team has struck out more times than the Twins (474) this season. The last week has been a laughing stock with 63 strikeouts in 167 at-bats. That's a 37.7% strikeout rate. Woof.

They foolishly believed a Class A coach could coach ML hitters.

Brilliant

If Correa indeed has the evil plantar fasciitis, Royce Lewis will be w/ Twins on June 1 to play SS, not 3rd base.

I thought this before but Judd and Reusse plus Gene Mauch brought it:

Confirmed: On Tuesday a.m, discussing Twins' lineup w/ Mackey, Judd & Declan, Old No. 5 (on BBWAA seniority list) firmly stated Julien should be leading off as long as he's with Twins this time. On Wednesday, he led off with HR --proving again, Old No. 5 is rarely wrong.

agreed.
This year fix would be to channel some different guidance
Maki is ?? Popkins is worse

Baby Pohlad needs to be impatient and not settle for profits over winning.
REAL winning.

Stewart would give me an ulcer sooner than any pitcher but Pagan these days. Moran a close third.

Stewart is quite a statistical anomaly. How does a guy who averages 7.9 walks per 9 innings not give up a run in 13 outings?

I saw a piece in the Strib this morning about how Yennier Canó, who the Twins traded away to get Jorge Lopez, is statistically the best reliever in baseball right now. Love it when pitchers leave and get better with their new teams. Falvine sucks.
