You are correct. Just look at the collapse last year. Not sure how Gardenhire does it every year to get the team to turn things around after the all-star break. If the Twins can manage this leading heading to Chicago next Tues-Thurs and pull 2 out of 3 this division will be over with likely. If they are up 6 or 7(Depending on the 1/2 swing +/- today with the Twins off) will be tough with 16 to go.
Got to give credit where credit is due the Twins come out each year and battle away
