First time I can remember someone getting yanked before complete implosion.

Do you think Lopez is on Rocco's radar?  30 pitches last night?

I wouldn't think so.

The alternative is Pagan...

[h2oface]

Arraez couldn't even catch that throw from Polanco. He really is challenged at fisrt base.

I guess baldy is all in on this game and hoping for offense tomorrow.

Hate to think it ??  Pagan next

[Aggies7]

Man a double play there could have brought duran back for the 9th

Admittedly not a very good alternative.

PITCHERS NEED TO FIELD THE BALL!!!!!!!!

[mnfireman]

Not watching or listening, just MLB Gameday, but it seems to me that this year's team has real issues turning DP's. Hernandez has hit into 11 DP's but the Twins can't turn one on him??

[Winston Smith]

Hope they don't burn this guy out.

This team has struggled with the fundamentals of baseball the past three seasons. It’s costed us in many scenarios & it’s not acceptable. That ground ball up the middle was one of many examples.

And I’m not sure what the solution to that issue is.

Hell no, especially since he was the one who blew the lead.

[Aggies7]

I’d bring him back out. Considering the alternatives (if he feels fine)

Duran has been starter, surely he can go 2 innings/ 30 pitches

More runs this half inning might make it a moot point. 

[mnfireman]

Duran threw 17 pitches last night and 7 so far tonight, I'm thinking he starts the 9th, but Pagan is getting loose.

BRING KELLY BACK!!

Tomorrow's bullpen is going to look like a bunch of dirty rags hanging from a clothesline.

I really wonder if it is wise to use Jax on consecutive days. 

Jax numbers when pitching on consecutive days are abysmal.

Ugh, please no. When will Rocco learn that Pagan is awful?

[Montdak]

Apparently Lopez maybe.  I’d rather leave 7 pitch Duran in.

The ball came back at 98 MPH, would have been a highlight reel play if he had made it.

[AussieG]

Good to see Nick Gordon laying off the high fastball

I don't think there's any way Duran comes out for the 9th.

[USAFChief]

Jake Cave. As expected 

[Aggies7]

Lopez is warming which is shocking. 
 

it’s ok, we have archer going tomorrow. He’ll go 8 minimum 

[AussieG]

The Caveman is back!

[cHawk]

[IndyTwinsFan]

The Toronto right fielder sure didn't look too interested in chasing that ball.  Good for us.
