Game Thread--Twins @ Royals 5-20/22 7:10 PM

[stringer bell]

I hope Duran is throwing quality pitches for the Twins for the next six years or more. 

[Schmoeman5]

Duran Duran did his job. Now hang on for the 9th inning Rollercoaster ? 

[nicksaviking]

I enjoy Duran’s enthusiasm.

[David HK]

Welp, this means Pagan in the 9th.  Still time to call anybody who's expecting you somewhere and tell them you'll be at least 1/2 hour later than you thought.

[Unwinder]

Predicting Pagan's going to get it done quicker than usual tonight.

As expected.

We didn't need that Reese Louis or whatever, anyway.

Wow. I dunno. I think an inning and 2/3rds is enough for now.

Miranda is technically in the lineup over Arraez, which is also bad IMO.

I suppose the reasoning is that Luis is batting just .217 against LHP so far this year with no extra base hits in 23 ABs. But honestly, I think he's just such an elite hitter that I'd prefer him at 1B over Miranda right now, regardless of matchups.

I'll take Miranda's night over Arraez's.....

Pagan: one base runner, no runs.  Let's watch .....

[Parfigliano]

Teed that one up

Also in your fully clothed car. I didn’t realize casual nudity is allowed in Illinois.

Fun talk for convertible drivers. When I talk about driving topless, I remind people that the car is topless, not me

[Gingernsnap25]

Again, I ask, why do we have Pagan? He is not save-worthy and has not had a comfortable outing. 

[Mill1634]

This team has two good relievers and one throws like a softball player and the other can only pitch once every other game

[Aggies7]

Pagan gives me agita. Duran should be the closer but not sure we’d still have the lead had he not come in when he did 

[mrtwinsfan]

That aged well. I looked at the batting order but forgot to factor in the lead.

[Cozinator]

Here we go... I k

now Pagan's ERA is great, but it's excruciating watching him end games.

Rocco used Duran at the correct time tonight. It's not his fault he has few reliable relievers.

TOOK 2 ASPIRINS AND 2 SHOTS OF STOLLEY B4 THE 9TH

My bad. We call them convertibles in Fargo.

Or snowmobiles.

[ashbury]

Couple walks, coming up.  Emilio's got this.

[Gingernsnap25]

I am a new Twins fan this year, so I am lacking in the farm system, but is there not anyone better than Pagan in the farm to close the deal?

Not enough

[Aggies7]

Oh boy would this be a bad loss

[mrtwinsfan]

Well never a dull moment with this Pagan Viking

[USAFChief]

San Diego front office is laughing its a$$ off.

[Danchat]

I think we should officially call it the Emilio Pagan Experience (EPE).

[Winston Smith]

Pagan is so close to becoming Ron Davis 2.0 just hold your breath and hope.
