Minnesota Twins: Defensive Errors Frustrate Team and Fans

The season has been a disaster so far for the Minnesota Twins. Their current record is 9-15, and they are 6 games behind the surprising Kansas City Royals. The bullpen has been continually lit up and their bats go silent for innings at a time, but the most frustrating facet of their play to many fans, including myself, is the numerous defensive mistakes they have committed this year.

The numbers don’t lie. As Dick Bremer on Bally Sports North reported, in sixty games last year, the Twins committed 20 errors the whole season.
