I knew that by planting a "2 runs and done" comment would lead to more runs. The Fates would rather the Twins score more than me be right about anything.
We've gotten 9 starts and less than 5 innings per start since we acquired him. Hopefully he can get through these arm issues and become a reliable starter for us. If I'm Cincy, I'm happy with the trade.
Probably BBref and Fangraphs. Boy I sure miss BaseballGauge.com. That site was the most fun for me with the way you could search players and teams and eras and see team breakdowns of Win Shares or WAR by position and defense value breakdowns. Unfortunately they sold to BBref and BBref has replied that they have no interest in reviving that format. Bummer.
It seems the last few years the Twins dug themselves a hole early in the season. Hopefully this hot start can put us on the right foot to a really good year.
