Pagan looks good.

Pagan looks good to me.

I believe getting away from all the drama that is NY gives a lot of players a chance to just play ball 

Yeah. A lot of pressure and spite from both media and fans.

Let's hope he turns it around.

Not a bad debut.

Move Pagan ahead of Duffey in the closer hierarchy (for now anyway). 

[KirbyHawk75]

Who is getting a hit first?  Kirilloff or Sano?

My attempt at a play on words. In truth, he's probably 3rd on my pecking list.

My opinion ... everyone should be ahead of Duffey in that ... said it yesterday in a different group ... Duffey is a good reliever who should never be used as a closer, ever ... imho

I'm tempted to answer "No."

[bighat]

Who else is still here waiting for Byron's 3-HR game?

If I may be so bold, this play on words just needed a little pagan visual aid...

[Sielk]

That was one horrible strike call on C4.

The longer I'm watching this I think Robo Umps can't be here soon enough.

I have the sound off, so I didn't hear the descriptions, but it looks a lot like the one on a popular TV program.

No way I'm watching that if the players are allowed to buy a bowel.

Does it count if the bat doesn't hit the ball?  Because Sano's swing generates a vortex that's going to connect for an infield single any day now.

You mean an intestinal sausage casing?

Yep, but keep it on the down low.  The less people know about what's in there, the better.

[Mill1634]

TWINS WIN!!

 

This was exactly the type of game that was needed for the players and the fans. Pitching was really good again outside of one pitch from Bundy. Bullpen continues to shine, and we finally scored without hitting a homer. This is something we should continue to do against below average lefties.

 

Until tomorrow,

 

Enjoy your chicken!

[LaBombo]

Winner winner.

Buxton just feels different now... he had a swagger and openness in that post-game interview that he simply didn't have in previous seasons.

Rocco has to use Winder for the 8th and 9th, imo. You aren't going to get much better of a situation than this to get him innings, especially for his first MLB appearance. If you aren't going to schedule piggyback'd appearances, you have to use him in situations like this or send him to AAA where he can get innings. 

I was thinking the same thing, I'd try Winder after Ober & see what he can do. Ideal time to stretch him out, instead of constantly using short relief. He's got to get out that mindset of only using short relief in every bull pen situation. I'd like him get in the routine of SP + long relief + short relief, to me that's the winning strategy to keep SP & short relief fresh

Pagan looked good, didn't he? I follow only game day

Yep ,,, he’s has really stepped up and into those ‘veteran presence’ shoes

OK, this is enough to make me turn off MiLB TV: The Kernels have a little girl spinning the "Wheel of Pork" between innings.

Just like wheel of fish.

 

Psst. Don't pick the box.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

And thanks for holding down the fort.

[LVTwinsfan]

The Twins were great today! It’s still winter up there right? I really need the Wild to win today. Let’s go Wild!

Buy a bowel? Where do you do that, Sears Medical?
