Sunday, May 22 was just another day where the Minnesota Twins lost during the 2016 season. It was a 3-1 loss to the Toronto Blue Jays. What made this loss stand out was Toronto's Josh Donaldson.

Donaldson launched a first-inning home run off of Phil Hughes. As he crossed home plate, he seemed to stare into the Twins dugout. This stemming from an issue the Twins had with Donaldson during Saturday's game.

Phil Hughes would throw at Donaldson during his next at-bat and Blue Jays manager John Gibbons would come out to argue about the situation. He was promptly ejected. Of course.

My social media feeds blew-up with comments about Donaldson's "attitude". It annoyed me.

More than the bean-ball attempt, more than the stare and more than the Twins terrible play this season.

See, guys like Donaldson and Bryce Harper get the label of having "bad attitudes" because they play with an extreme amount of passion and intensity. That sometimes overflows into anger.

But it is a passion that teammates get behind. They feed off of that passion. That intensity.

It's the type of swagger the Twins don't have. At least not in the "leaders" of the ball club.

It is an attitude of "we are better than you and we know it" that hasn't been present in the Twins since Torii Hunter left after the 2007 season.

Hunter's attitude wasn't nearly as cocky as that of Donaldson or Harper but it was palpable. He didn't just want to beat you. He wanted you to feel pain. Another guy that comes to mind is A.J. Pierzynski.

He was certainly no opponents favorite. However, he's a guy you want on your team because he'd be the first to defend you in any situation. He would do anything to win.

The Twins don't have much to be cocky about this season but it would be nice to see some kind of edge from them.

This has long been a complain of mine, and other Twins fans, about this franchise.

A different attitude doesn't equate into more wins. Talent does.

An edge doesn't mean you are going to shut up Donaldson. Better pitching does that.

The issues are far deeper than just some dude will to run his mouth on behalf of his team.

Once, though, I would like to see a Twins pitcher strike out a dude and stare him down as walks back to the dugout. Or hit a bomb and pimp it because look at what I just did.

Show a litter swagger.

Maybe, just maybe, it filters through the team.
