Yes I see that. The point does still stand he was not great for the twins. Either he was really luck with the orioles or the twins made him lucky. Yea he was a failed starter as are almost all bullpen arms.I don't know where this rando is getting his stats, but according to baseball reference, his ERA in Baltimore in '22 was 1.68, not 0.68. The point still stands that he has been worse here, but not nearly as bad as called out by this unverified rando dude. Additionally, he has a career ERA of 5.44. I understand that he was a starter before, and he has been better as a reliever, but still, I don't think he turned into Mariano Rivera overnight. It was likely he was going to revert at least a little to the mean at some point.

Nick Nelson is not some random person he co-owns twins daily and he might have just made a mistake in typing the ERA.
