As soon as I heard he was warning I got severe acid reflux 

[Aggies7]

I’d take Joe smith to close at this point over pagan. At least he has control 

[bighat]

Pagan st8nks! Booo!

[Muppet]

Would they ever dream of yanking a pitcher in this situation? 

[Aggies7]

We deserve every bit of what we’re about to get 

[twins_89]

A closer who walks a ton of guys is not a good idea.

[Mill1634]

Pagan is a problem. I trust Duffey more in high leverage right now, and I don't trust him much at all. You cannot have a closer than can't locate. 

[LewFordLives]

He should not be out there. He's just not that good.

[MadHits]

Nice job Jose!! let's win this damn thing!

[Twins_Fan_In_Texas]

Miranda’s a stud ?

[Mill1634]

Beautiful play by an inexperience 1st basemen. 

[LewFordLives]

Think Sano could've made that play?

[AceWrigley]

heyyy ... strikes

 

[MadHits]

More strikes LFG

[Aggies7]

How at you gonna swing first pitch in that situation

[AceWrigley]

[AceWrigley]

[MadHits]

OH god not in the dirt. gunna have a stroke here

[Aggies7]

Third pitch was a ball wow

[AceWrigley]

[MadHits]

Except for here, apparently, because we use our true closer in other situations 

[Longdistancetwins]

Whew!

[cHawk]

Ezz Dubs!!

[LewFordLives]

No more Pagan in the ninth... PLEASE!  I will not survive the summer if I have to watch that guy.

[ashbury]

Emilio had this one, all the way!

[Mill1634]

TWINS WIN!!!

Winder was fantastic, Miranda showed us why he's one of our top prospect, and THE top prospect shows some nice plays on defense and gets his first MLB base hit. Oh, and the best player in the AL went yard again. It wasn't beautiful, and the 9th was painful, but I'll never complain about a win. 

Until tomorrow, 

Enjoy your chicken!
