Here on July 2nd, the Twins have a solidly losing record, but I’d ask you not to fret. Here are some other teams with losing records at this point in the season:

Finding solace and solidarity in these four compatriots, we can remind ourselves that the Twins are not the only underperforming team in 2025, and those ranks include the entire rest of the non-White Sox division after the first-place Detroit Tigers. Of course, it’s possible none of these teams are truly underperforming — maybe they’re just performing!

Either way you slice it, the Minnesota Twins are now 40-45 and have been held to just two hits, two games in a row. All season long (and through solid parts of last season), the practically-nonexistent offense has generated almost no confidence from fans and looks eerily similar to the product engineered by a since-fired hitting coach coalition last season.

And if the offense wasn’t enough of a bummer, the entire starting rotation are dropping like flies, with Pablo Lopez and Zebby Matthews now joined on the injured list by Bailey Ober, weeks after the team insisted his hip injury wasn’t a hip injury.

But hey, I guess Friday is a future Twins problem. Tonight, they have a guaranteed starter in Simeon Woods Richardson, and a guy whose last name is literally Junk to throw another nine innings of two-hit ball against them.

Royce Lewis is still back, but he and his .597 OPS are absent from the lineup after an appearance on Tuesday night.
