Tie game.

 

Oh well.

[Mill1634]

You are KIDDING me 

[PDX Twin]

Pa-gone.

[TheLeviathan]

Some of you should really hear this guy out after the first 7 pages.

[Brock Beauchamp]

Yeesh. Smalley called that. 

[Aggies7]

Don’t anyone mention the home run that Emilio just gave up. Positive vibes only 

[Azviking101]

Pagan sucks. How do you throw only sliders there? Cranking 98 and throws that cookie. Smalley is right. What a dumb sequence

Blame this or that, but it all comes down to this…. Can the bullpen get 6 outs? Because that’s what bullpens on contending teams do with regularity

And the answer is no, and the bullpen is still the biggest issue with this team 

[Mill1634]

You've gotten Reyes out 3 straight times my spamming fastballs up and in, so naturally in the 4th at bat you only throw sliders. 

[cHawk]

I don’t want to be that team who only wins one run games

[Montdak]

Dang Pagan  always a heart attack.  Has a multi run lead and nibbles his way into trouble.

I think it’s unrealistic to expect everybody to act like a smiley face emoji all the time. 

Wouldn’t expect you to. Don’t expect it for myself either. I’ve seen you go with the flow in other game threads and not take things so seriously. 

[jimbo92107]

He can burn through any lineup...after giving up a two run homer.

The Pagan Sacrifice.

Agreed. Pagan is a problem and shouldn’t be a late inning reliever. I hope that is addressed in the coming weeks adding 2+ bullpen arms. 

[Montdak]

Ramirez will win it for them now.

Jeffers calls a good game, or that is what some say.

NOPE!

[a-wan]

How has Shaw's arm not fallen off after all these years?

I usually stay positive, not always, but a lot of the negative posters bring up valid points, and they’re a big part of this site.

[Steve71]

Second-guessing the reliever sequence here.  Why not Duran vs. the meat of the order, Pagan against the tail end of the order?

And Jeffers ??

[mnfireman]

At least they're letting the guy hitting under .200 do the damage, not Ramirez.

[Aggies7]

Whenever pagan blows one, I always think about this guy on Twitter who tried to convince me that pagan is every bit as good an option as Duran in these situations. Because closers are overrated

[sampleSizeOfOne]

"Hey Inego. I hope we win."

I assume Pagan was getting warm before the Twins took the lead.

[Parfigliano]

Again pen...sigh
