They look legit... it's not a fluke. The offense has been great and the Twins starting pitching has been really good.

BOOM

In recent years, so has April and May. This team feels different. I'm not saying they're simply going to run away with it, but I don't think they're going to flop either. Cleveland and ther teams in the Central better start playing up to their level because this is a very good Twins team. Maybe the best hitting team since the Puck and Herbie days.

They hit for the home run cycle

With Sano’s solo shot, Schoop’s two-run and
three-run flies and Buxton’s slam, the Twins hit for the home run cycle
for the first time since a 14-2 win over the Indians on Aug. 17, 1973.
The most recent Major League club to hit for the home run cycle was the
A’s in their 17-2 win over the Tigers on Thursday.

“There’s really no weak spots in our lineup,
one through nine, and I think, as a pitcher, that can’t be a very
comfortable thing,” Cron said. “They have to be on their game for every
batter, and I think as the longer the game goes, as we get going, they
start to make a few mistakes I think because of that.”

And don't forget about the defense and improved late inning relief. Mays, Parker, and Rogers have been more than solid, and how about the OF and IF? Eddy, Buck, and Kep have been great, but Cron, Schoop, Gonzalaz, and Polanco have been easily as good. Also, the catching with Castro, Gardner, and even Austudillo have been fantastic, and they hit like crazy too.

New gm, new skip, new squad, these guys dont know the traditions. ( and June has often been pretty good to the twins of years gone by. It was often the best month of otherwise poor seasons.)
