After a quiet day in Cincinnati, in which the Twins could only muster up one run, and after a terrible June, the Twins open up July with a zero and one record. The Twins look to crown the Royals, in a series that starts at Kauffman Stadium. The Royals have been struggling in Houston, and the Twins are coming off of a second consecutive series that they had it tied, then allowed their opponents to win it in the rubber game.
This is the only other time the Twins have had forty-one wins since I was born, in 1981. Hopefully the Royals and Twins series could be a little bit of fun, because the Twins bats have been quiet for way too long. They are not going to make it very long, if they do not have the pitching, and the ability to run the bases the right way. When you cannot bunt the baseball the right way, and when you leave pitches out over the plate, you are going to get tattooed, like the Twins on Monday night, eleven to seven. As Jim Price likes to say, it is all about the art of pitching. The Twins pitchers cannot learn by leaving cookies all over the plate, Paul Molitor will not be happy.
