This is just insane.The front office fiddles while the bullpen burns. Maybe last year could be excused because of injuries/being out of the race by may. But there is no excuse for this year. If they do nothing it, and soon, it should be a fireable offense. They have tradeable assets, get it done.
No, it's not too fast. The clock doesn't start until the pitcher gets the ball back from the catcher. 14 seconds is plenty of time. It works great in AAA.
Let's hold off for say, oh a season or two, before we proclaim we are smarter than every other front office, This pitching staff could go from great to bad in a hurry.
Winning cures a lot of ailments. Frankly I think "chemistry" is overrated, especially in a game that is pretty individualistic. If you asked a 100 different people what it meant you would get a 100 different answers.
I know Twins Daily contributors need to write SOMETHING, but these small sample size articles mean almost nothing. Let's get to 40 games played and see where everybody is.
I'm always baffled when I read that a pitch that a pitcher throws the most is his least effective. Is it because it's the only pitch he can throw for strikes?
The only way the Twins get close to a world series is have multiple pitchers come up and be very good to great in their 1-4 seasons. After that they get to expensive for the Twins. How likely is that to happen?
Living in Des Moines, (AAA Cubs) I've been to a bunch of games with the pitch clock. Trust me, it's a good thing, and the pitchers seemed to adapt quickly to where I have only seen it come into play once.
