Vicente Padilla threw a complete game shut out against the Twins yesterday striking out two and allowing only seven hits. I'm going to let you think about that for a second.........OK, now I'm going to repeat it. Vicente Padilla threw a complete game shut out against the Twins yesterday striking out two and allowing only seven hits. Really? Vicente Padilla? This is like getting eliminated in a game of lightning by a girl. Fun fact: Vicente Padilla has been clocked at taking forty, yes four zero, seconds between pitches. Can't imagine driving behind him on a one way, yeesh.
The Twins starters had been a big reason for the team's ability to battle through some early offensive woes. But following Sunday's loss, the Twins starting pitchers are now 0-3 with an 8.27 ERA over their last seven contests, having pitched just a total of 32 2/3 innings over that span.
What happened to our innings eater? Isn't our strategy to have Livan pitch 1500 innings this year? And a tip of the cap to Mike Lamb who is batting his weight. And by the way he's swinging the lumber, homeboy is on a diet.
