Good win, I don’t mind those games because they’re so intense pitch-for-pitch because the margin for error is so small. One solo shot by Adrianza decided that game and spoiled what was otherwise a stellar start by Verlander.
I saw today that Eduardo Escobar was last week’s NL Player of the Week, which reminded me that the Twins management can still screw this up. A lot of the additions this year are on short contracts that Falvene has liked to “flip” ad the deadline for future assets, but at some point the future needs to arrive. I’m hoping they take the good we have and add some quality arms and…oh I don’t know…try?
They weren’t going anywhere last year. I think it was good to try and get something for those players. I wasn’t surprised they were sellers at the deadline last year and honestly was glad they were. Escobar is a solid player and he was the one guy I was sad to see go (well maybe Pressly), but I think the infield is looking pretty good this year so it hasn’t been a big loss.
