I’ve seen about enough of pagan in high leverage situations.

He needs to stop walking guys, doesn't seem to have a strikeout pitch.

[RickOShea]

1st base or 3rd base, it makes no difference. Arraez can't protect the line on hard hit ground balls.

Why do we keep using Duran for 2 innings per appearance? He should be the closer, period.

I kinda like the Hader bit, but yeah, he’s the guy I trust the most 

[Richie the Rally Goat]

It’s been more than a week since Pagan last pitched, is he a tad rusty?

[wabene]

Closer, ha ha, quaint.

IF Hader pitched on either coast, he'd be better well known and 3-5 mil richer per season.

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

As expected

? I just meant that he used to throw 2 innings most appearances and was really effective 

[Mill1634]

That Pagan experience was excruciating, but it worked out. Really curious who gets the 9th.

[Squirrel]

Wow, that was kind of intense! Do we need the rally goat for the top of the 9th?

I still think half the people in Wisconsin think Rollie Fingers still pitches for the Brewers.

Duran warming in the pen

He allows too much contact, but he was fine last time

It’s moreso the wildness for me. Have to throw strikes to be that 8/9 inning guy

The 8th was the bottom of the order, which rolled over to the top of the order. The 9th has their 3, 4, & 5 spots coming up. If the Twins don't score or only score 1, that is the high leverage situation.

Good scouting soldier!

[AlwaysinModeration]

The sound of Duran warming in the pen is loud.

[Squirrel]

We need runs! Go go goat!

The other half, such as myself, have watched baseball since 1985?

[Squirrel]

Lol, that thing cracks me up

[AlwaysinModeration]

My son notes that he can only throw 48.

I hope you're wrong about needing the runs, because the goat let us down.

Me too!

Duran getting the save opportunity?

No, that's more acceptable than Duffey!

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Be interesting to see what happens with Duran as the season goes along ... after two years of not a lot of work, I am assuming he has an innings limit or a maximum he can go this season, hmmm,

... win today and a discussion for another day ?

[Mill1634]

Alright Duran, shut this one down

[Aggies7]

Do do do do do do do dodo dododo dodo

 

here comes duran

[sampleSizeOfOne]

What i miss?

I would absolutely lose my marbles if we’re in the thick of things come august/September and he’s shut down due to an innings limit
