Why would the Twins, desperately clinging to fading postseason hopes, wait until Sunday to pitch their best starter?
He didnt "pitch Tuesday." He last pitched Friday the 11th (only going 5 innings, BTW). One inning Tuesday at the AS game is nothing more than a normal between starts bullpen. He does a bullpen between starts normally, as does most every starter.
There's no good reason he didn't start the 1st game of this trip--on long rest--and be the one starter getting 2 starts on this road trip. Instead, for some silly reason, its Paddack.
Self inflicted pain. Someone-coughRoccocough-should be fired over stupid **** like this.
