The Twins’ start to the 2019 season has been surprising to say the least, and maybe even shocking when considering just how charmed the first two months have been.
It was reasonable to expect the Twins would improve on their 78-win season of 2018 and possibly contend for a playoff spot. It was not reasonable to predict they would have the best record in baseball on Memorial Day weekend while setting out on a pace to break the MLB record for home runs.
Unpredictably great seasons — like this one, at least so far — tend to be the sweetest of all.
