Game Thread: Twins of Minnesota @ Guardians of Ohio, 6/29/22, 6:10PM CDT (4:10PM PDT)

With a 3 run lead..... perfect to NOT use Pagan.

[Aggies7]

I’m not putting pagan in this game if I’m Rocco. 

[stringer bell]

So does Tito get heat for using Morgan against the Twins?

I suppose it’s just a ploy to get Pagán in the game. 

[MMMordabito]

Time for the Pagan dance ritual.

[PopRiveter]

Sooooooo this game wasn’t boring afterall

[Mill1634]

pagan on for a save against cleveland, this should go well

Tyler the thorn bird and cotton must be thinking “how bad are we?”

[RpR]

Arraez did't get a sacrifice foul ball.

And Dick calls another one too.

Wait, were they all cribbing off someone else? Meh, still splendid.

[mrtwinsfan]

And why we watch it! (Or maybe us watching it is why they play it?)

[Brock Beauchamp]

I’m absolutely putting Pagan in this point. I wouldn’t have done it many times when Rocco has done it lately but I’d do it now. 

[LVTwinsfan]

Pagan has to throw strikes

Yes.

[operation mindcrime]

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Montdak]

Will this blankety blank Pagan go out nibbling with a 3 run lead again.

[h2oface]

Did Pagan switch his pants? Doesn't he usually wear them just below the knees? 

[stringer bell]

Essentially a two-run lead. Gotta get the hitters. 

[stringer bell]

That’s one. 

[MMMordabito]

Get Moran up.

I bet that was done deliberately.

If so, I think it's brilliant.

For every dumb new rule, teams find ways to strategize around them.

He did! Trying for better luck, it seems...... A good play by play man would have noticed that, Dick.

I wouldn't call his lack of control nibbling.

I get that. There are times when I think "either the Twins win this and the last inning is boring and I don't need to see it, or they lose it and I definitely don't want to see it."

[stocker08]

Kepler made up for yesterday.  I bet Twins to win and over 8.5 runs in tonight's game.  Looks good on both fronts.  Yesterday's first game....I had no runs in the first inning.  Pulled up on that fly that fell short right.

Effectively wild...

 

[stringer bell]

I’ll give Pagán this—he takes the ball. He’s probably pitched more back-to-back days than anyone else.
