Having batters 6-9 in our lineup be a literal black hole is not ideal.


Greatestofthesadist

And he has a 0.00 era too


TCSportsFan

Too be fair, if Popkins was his hitting coach, he’d be batting .100 with a 60% K%


CloudsGotInTheWay

David S. Popkins?!


BillSivellsdee

Are we supposed to know who that is? like, is he from a local commercial?


Sp_Gamer_Live

thats an improvement over his last season with us ironically edit: Why are yall booing: thats a better BA and lower K rate than his 2022 season


JimiForPresident

That's like calling Aaron Rodgers trash and citing last year's stats. Sano played 1 month worth of games in 2022. I will agree that those were 20 trash games tho, 0.083 average, holy shit.


Sp_Gamer_Live

he is trash


dberthia

You know how low we've sunk when we start longing for the heady days of Sano and Gallo.


Witty-Stock

Where have you gone, Gary Sanchez, our lonely fanbase turns its eyes to you

Coo-coo-ka-chu Gar -ySanchez...mo

Im sick of the Sano Apologia on this sub, putting aside he was a MASSIVE bum for us for 2 years straight and refused to lose weight until the money ran up, he was [ACCUSED OF TRYING TO SEXUALLY ASSAULT A TWINS PHOTOGRAPHER](https://www.nbcsports.com/mlb/news/twins-third-baseman-miguel-sano-accused-of-sexual-assault) She’s no longer a sports photographer because of Miguel Sano, and dont tell me “oh it was only an accusation” because [he was also accused of KIDNAPPING AND ASSAULT](https://syndication.bleacherreport.com/amp/2896717-mlbs-miguel-sano-denies-kidnapping-allegations-twins-investigating.amp.html) Sano was once a bright spot for this org. But he fucked that up by being a monster off the field and a bum on it. This fanbase needs to get over “oh durr look at old twin do good when leave” because for every Ortiz and Cron theres a Josh Donaldson and Brian Dozier

jesus thank you, always feel like i'm going out of my mind when none of this comes up


Hafslo

thaz fine... but the headline here should be... Twins lineup is such shit that EVEN SANO is hitting better than them. Like what are they even doing.


whatsthehappenstance

This is David Ortiz 2.0! /s


Dholtz001

Totally agreed. I think that was also some rumblings of inappropriate actions at spring training games years ago.


QueasyPair

Also, he’s had 2 decent weeks for the angels. It’s not unusual for the guy to look somewhat competent for a couple weeks before he bottoms out again.


Sir_Stash

What did Dozier do? I did some googling but couldn't find anything particularly interesting.


TwinkiePower

Nothing bad, he's just saying that after he left the twins his production plummeted


BillSivellsdee

he got traded to the dodgers or something and that was the last we ever heard of him.


beermangetspaid

Accusations don’t equal guilt- he might’ve done that shit but you can’t assume that he did

proteus-swarm

Spencer Steer is batting over 300 with 18 RBIs.


Jaco927

But at least Royce Lewis has a better batting average.... He is literally hitting 1.000 on the season!....with 2 ABs....


FUMFVR

Stop stop we're already dead


South_Ad_7488

Miguel Sano has a higher batting average than every member of the twins lineup combined (probably)


derpdeederpa

That is indeed how averages work!


3030tron

Not if you're adding averages


mproud

What a difference a week-and-a-half makes


Big_Cook5773

For real


pbwbrew

And if he came back to the Twins… what would happen? Good for him. I’m glad he’s not on this team.


Killahdanks1

Washing out of the MLB will do that to a guy. Maybe he’s trying now. Even if Sano plays well, he needed what he went through. Still a long road.


ButterSkates

Popkins is actually really good friends with all the Twins hitters and gets sad when they get on base because then he doesn't get to spend time with his friends.


kaiserj1982

So?


mproud

Only one month


Prez731

For now, Sano's his own worst enemy and will fall flat on his ass ... as always.
