The Twins dropped the third game in their series against the Kansas City Royals this afternoon, and I've heard plenty of people complaining about the team's performance. So far this season the big, bases-clearing doubles in key situations just haven't happened. The team is hitting an OPS of just .695 with runners in scoring position, and plenty of fans are getting upset.
Today, I'll give you just one image that should clear things up. The blue squares represent each of the last 50 years, the green square is where the Twins currently sit. If the past half century is any indication, Minnesota will be fine. Should the hits keep coming, the team's performance with runners in scoring position will dramatically improve. If it doesn't -- if the team continues to strike out with the bases loaded -- this will be a truly historic team.
