In a disheartening season debut, Minnesota Twins pitcher Chris Paddack struggled significantly against the Chicago White Sox, allowing eight runs in just three innings. Despite the White Sox's poor performance last season, Paddack was unable to contain their offense, which saw multiple homers hit off him. The situation worsened when key players like Byron Buxton and Carlos Correa were pulled early, signaling the team's defeatist attitude. With a shocking 24.30 ERA to start the season, concerns loom over Paddack's future contributions to the Twins.
"Paddack was awful in his season debut against a White Sox team that lost 121 games last year, allowing eight runs in the first three innings."
"Even more discouraging was the Twins pulling Byron Buxton and Carlos Correa after three innings, essentially waving the white flag when down 9-0 with 18 outs to go."
