The first three runs were off of a bunch of ground balls that found holes. He still has to build himself up but he has shown promise before seeming to tire out around 70ish pitches.Originally Posted by Bellhorn04

Is it possible Cash got a little too cute filling up the rotation with guys who didn't pitch in 2020?

I'll tell you the truth.
I read their game threads and general threads on the team, mostly when they're losing. It's great entertainment. Some of the posters are quite funny and sardonic, just like people here.
Not once have I ever trash talked them though.
As an added bonus, they have political threads there that manage to stay semi-civilized.

Here's another one from last night's game thread:
"I would like to congratulate Cashman on acquiring a second baseman who hits into the teeth of the shift 100% of the time."

Taillon’s issue last night was his breaking ball. He’s got a slider and a curve, but he was hanging them with regularity. He did give up some hits off the FB, but the breaking ball wasn’t fooling anyone. Those days happen. My bigger concern continues to be the offense. They just seem dead. No rallies, no fight
Looking to Odor to provide a spark is not a good sign.
On a positive note, Bruce went 1 for 3 last night to raise his average to .133.
I'm starting to wonder if Cash has lost his marbles.

I think he just spent his allowance and needed players willing to settle for his budgetary limitations...
He's made some very dubious moves IMO.

More often than not, it seems.

As bad as the Yankees have looked, and they are better than this, they are only 5-6.

Agreed.
When one of your team's biggest issues in recent years has been injuries, Taillon and Kluber seem more likely to be problems than solutions.
All winter, I said they need Andrelton Simmons and Rick Porcello (although I said Simmons far more often). Porcello could still happen. But Simmons (.925 OPS) is pretty much crushing it for the Twins while also bringing his historically elite defense...
There you go. You are a better GM than Cash.

Getting Simmons would have improved SS, 2B and 1B defense.

You take the good with the bad with Cashman. Our problem each year seems to be the rotation, and although it's still too early to say anything about this year's rotation, the early results are not good. He did take steps to address it in the offseason, but given the internal cap constraint he had to make high risk/reward moves rather than just go spending on a FA starter.
I give him credit for acquiring Urshela/Voit/Hicks for basically nothing, which is a third of our starting lineup. Also his bullpen construction is always very good. The lineup is a bit one dimensional but still one of the best in baseball. It's easy to criticize all his failures but I have a hard time envisioning another GM doing a much better job than him.
Plus two of those losses were entirely attributable to the stupid new runner on second rule in extras. Both extra inning losses came by 1 run and it was the extra runner that scored. Our extra inning win, we scored 4, so we’d win with the runner or not
