Not good. I'm not sure what window of opportunity good baseball vision saw for this team in 2026 with the current roster. I thought for sure the Twins were going to trade Pablo in January and then Joe Ryan in March. Does it really matter if you finish 3rd, 4th or 5th in our division?
And . . . he pitched an inning at Charlotte last year with an ERA of 0.00.
And in other news . . . I went to look at getting a new Mercedes today. After realizing that driving it would probably require a 3 week training course to operate the thing I said forget it.

I think we've found a distinguishing factor between Derek Falvey and Jeremy Zoll as General Manager:
Falvey: "Lefties? Lefties? We don't need no stinkin' lefties."
Zoll: "Lefties, lefties, I like lefties."
Interesting that both teams mentioned in the article as being innovators in how they use their pitching staff finished last in their respective leagues in ERA and ERA+. I wonder how much of their "innovation" was more about just getting through the season more than anything else.
