GAME THREAD: 8/4/22, Twins vs Blue Jays, 6:40PM CT

[Brock Beauchamp]

Pagan is just terrible. 

[MMMordabito]

Why the **** is Pagan still pitching in these situations?

[Danchat]

I saw on Twitter today somebody saying ‘Pagan is actually underrated!’ Here’s a reminder that having a great K rate is meaningless when you get clobbered when guys get the bat on the ball.

Before they made the deadline moves I was ready to check out because they kept letting the same guys blow leads. Smith got DFA’d and I don’t call for anyone’s job but this simply cannot continue 

[USAFChief]

****.

[notoriousgod71]

"this is a playoff bullpen," morneau declares as pagan serves up yet another one 

[cHawk]

Good lord, Pagan is awful.

So far, not well. 

[PDX Twin]

Does Pagan get a BS for this one? (In more ways than one?)

Literally don’t know how many more times I can stomach watching Emilio Pagan blow leads

I figured this game would at least be tied after seeing Pagan come in.

You’re proud of the fans for booing?

Jeepers.

[garn from vancouver]

i just said to a co-worker, as pagan came in, that by the end of the inning the blue jays will be ahead. why is he allowed in games?

[Winston Smith]

Pagan has given up runs in 14 or 40 games. 

[Aggies7]

Just too many outs to fill on a nightly basis. 

[LewFordLives]

The thing is, we now have options. Why is Pagan being used in a close game?

Yeah, twins fans are too passive IMO. It’s booing it’s not physical assault lol

[mrtwinsfan]

SOME PITCHERS R WHAT WE SEE--Bremer not what you say

[Battle ur tail off]

A considerable understatement.

That throw looked like it had some frustration behind it.

Hope Baldelli hear Fans' booing.

[PDX Twin]

Both balls are in the dirt, but the Munchkin should have picked them both.
