Does he save these inflexible plans just for Paddack? Because in the two games before last night, the starters were allowed to finish the seventh, with one being allowed to go to the eighth. Only one reliever was used each game. The last non-Paddack pitcher to not be allowed the sixth was Pablo coming off an IL stint and sitting at 101 pitches through 5 innnings. Doesn't really follow the narrative of sticking to the plan to a fault. I watched the game last night. My eyes saw a pitcher who was allowing more and more hard contact in the fourth and fifth, and was in a lot of ways lucky to get away with allowing only one run. Paired with a bullpen as about as rested as it could be without a recent off day, the decision was made to pull the starter 23 pitches short of his last outing's output because it was the most prudent thing to do in the situation, regardless of any plan.- 101 replies

You said the eye test should've had him pulled in the fourth and left in for the sixth. So yeah, at least in the ballpark of what you said.

I did not have hustle double from Correa on my Twingo card tonight

I'm starting to think they forgot to write a script for this season and just turned in last year's at the deadline

Well this was a nice surprise. Feels like a season's worth of runs against the Redacteds I know position players pitching is ick, but a doubleheader followed by two straight games of double digit runs allowed puts Vogt in a bit of a pickle

Took the family to Sunday's Angels game, and it wasn't as desolate as I expected. I even had to wait in a line or two! I was expecting a higher announced attendance than 18K But keeping the Tony O's stand closed is a crime against humanity that needs to be reported to MLB, and perhaps Hennepin County authorities as well. It was open on opening day; if they've been closing this regularly, then I think we've found the primary source of the attendance woes

That's all true, but the Mets were planning on moving Correa to 3B when they tried to sign him. Mark Vientos and Brett Baty have taken all the PAs there for them this year; both have an OPS that begins with a 5 The Mets are also probably the team most likely to ignore its own budget If Correa can show some life, that would be a (still probably pretty unlikely) possibility.

I see a light at the end of the tunnel Unfortunately, I also hear the whistle of a train I have a bad feeling that at least one of the top three starters will be gone before the end of the season. Then it's on to rebuild mode

Appropriate for it to end like a regulation high school game

I guess they ran out of diamond dry Bring this game behind the shed and put it out of its misery, plz

I wish there were a facepalm reaction here

I do appreciate that Perkins doesn't try to convince me that every Twins pitcher is prime Pedro Martinez

There are those that might suggest there are 7 million arguments to be made to keep Paddack in the rotation
