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

Hate to say it... the Pagan Sacrifice strikes again. Been a long time since I saw a pitcher with such "electric" stuff get pounded so often for two or more runs. 

A team in the playoff hunt simply cannot afford to *hope* that a guy like Pagan will suddenly develop dependable command. I say, experiment over. Trade him to the White Sox, plus cash. No need to send us anybody, we'll be fine. Just promise you'll use him a few times in close games.

Jeepers.

Yeah gee I’d hate to be a fan of a team where the fans actually cared.

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 

Too many blown leads and saves by bullpen.

Rocco using Pagan is always 8 dimensional chess, see now the offense is coming on ?

due to being hurt by HBP?

[h2oface]

MIRANDA!!!

Don't forget, RBI are meaningless.

So ... IL after the game and bring up Steer, or maybe Encarnacion-Strand? Amazing how fast the Twins can "unblock" young players.

Steer and CES are not with Twins anymore.

Due to the guy on the bump. He’s nasty.

My point exactly.

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Don’t they usually do this stuff between innings? aggies arent you grounds crew?

[puckett_34]

Read a lot. Don’t post much. I get frustrated but try to enjoy the weird ride the twins take us on every year. A simple stat that blows my mind is: Devin Smeltzer leads the team in quality starts with 6. Devin f’n Smeltzer

Smeltzer 6/12

Ryan 6/17

Gray 5/16

Winder 3/6

Bundy 2/18

Ober 1/7

Archer 0/18

Incredibly difficult to win long term even w/ the recent reinforcements.

Wait, for real or do you mean that sarcastically?  I never can tell.

 

Chief and others: Yes.
