Minnesota is considering reducing Ober's workload the rest of the season since he didn't pitch in 2020 and has never thrown more than 78 innings in a season, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Twins are limiting him to about 80 pitches per start and could give him extra rest between starts late in the season. Ober has been a pleasant surprise for the Twins with a 4.94 ERA but a 9.7 K/BB and 2.7 BB/9. He could put himself in position for a spot in the 2022 rotation with a strong finish to the season.
limiting his workload???!!!wtf are you saying here? He can't complete a five inning start because he has no arm strength to get there and you say you are going to limit him??Stupid, stupid, stupid is all I can say to the people handling todays starting pitchers. You won't allow them to get the ability to pitch complete games because you are won't let them pitch. Just amazing crap!!I bet he doesn't run during offseason or in between starts, probably lifts weights. Another tell tale sign he is weak in the legs and can't go more than five innings. Todays' pitchers can't go five innings because they are cowards on the mound afraid to throw strikes and failing. Look at how dismal hitters are this year and tell me you as a group are not dominating todays hitters. Hogwash
