The Minnesota Twins have been seemingly relentless in recent weeks in moving toward the worst record in the majors, losing a lot and losing horrifically, with follies. On Saturday, rookie Max Kepler misplayed what seemed to be no more than a single into a game-deciding two-run triple and error, then on Sunday, Danny Santana and Robbie Grossman collided. The body language after the mistakes is revealing.

Minnesota was 46-66 on Aug. 8, and since then, the Twins have gone 3-15 with a minus-61 run differential, which accounts for almost half of their minus-123 run differential for the season.
