last night's loss

The indicators are pointing down. A 4-run loss last night is the biggest weight on the score. Compounding things, a 2-5 week. That's the biggest factor right now.

Twins News

After last night's disappointing 7-3 loss to the Blue Jays, the Twins' pitching woes are glaring, especially with Simeon Woods Richardson struggling to find his form, allowing Kazuma Okamoto to wreak havoc. This marks a rough stretch for Woods Richardson, who has now faltered in five consecutive starts, leaving the Twins to ponder rotation changes with Mick Abel's imminent return. Meanwhile, the offense continues to sputter, unable to capitalize on chances, which is a stark contrast to their recent 7-1 win over Toronto that briefly sparked hope. Griffin Jax’s potential shift to a starting role could be a silver lining, but the team's recent 2-5 stretch and a lack of consistency suggest deeper issues that need addressing. With a record of 14-18, the Twins have a lot to figure out as they face the same Blue Jays again, hoping to right the ship.

Who in my experience are basically the nicest […]

Why Griffin Jax Would Work as a Starting Pitcher

Griffin Jax debuted as a starting pitcher in 2021 after being selected in the third round of the 2016 draft out of the Air Force Academy. It did not go well. Across 18 appearances (14 starts), Jax logged 82.1 innings to the tune of a 6.37 ERA, finishing as a -0.8 fWAR player.
