Sometimes Washburn goes out there and just tears it up. But by the time someone picks him up he’ll turn around and lay an egg. He seems to have a month or so streak each year where he’s fairly lights out but it usually only happens once a year; the other five months he can be atrocious.

Agree. Consistency isn’t his strong suit. It doesn’t hurt that the Twins just aren’t hitting.
