Minneapolis. After being in the driver’s seat for most of the first half of the season, the Twins can hear the roar of the Detroit Tigers. The Tigers have really poured on the steam. Meanwhile, the Twins have had several lackluster performances. It is a 162 game season. No team is going to win all 162 games. Another reason why the Tigers have been hot is starting pitching. The Twins pitchers have cooled off. You need good pitching and good hitting and it also takes a good skipper at the helm. Players should hold themselves accountable and come to the park and be ready to play every day, which is something that has been missing from the Twins repertoire. Credit should be given to Jim Leyland for the way he has his Tigers playing.
