Does anyone know if Pagan is available to pitch today?

Why not? He can't do any worse

Oh noes!  The dreaded third time through the lineup, for Archer.

 

[notoriousgod71]

Here we are with Archer battling himself and at 90 pitches but when he is sailing along he's out with 70 pitches. Just pitch four innings no matter how effective you are.

[Vanimal46]

90 pitches in 4 innings. Lance Lynn gives his seal of approval.

Don't worry.  He's limited the damage they can make by walking them instead of allowing them to make contact.

That’s too funny

[wsnydes]

Bieber at 88 pitches through 5.  

[MMMordabito]

I like Moran here.  Turns Ramirez around and then Naylor.

[LVTwinsfan]

Archer did what he could today. He worked for it.

[Schmoeman5]

So Archers line. 4 is 90 pitches 6 walks 1 hit 0 er. Is that considered a quality start

[Vanimal46]

8 pitch snapper mow em down inning for Moran!

[wsnydes]

That inning was like a breath of fresh air!

Thank you, Moran!

No, but he only gave up one run. It wasn’t his best outing, not his worst.

No. Archer to  me is one of the reasons the bullpen is overused. You need 5 bullpen innings everytime out.

Game day says it was an earned run. Why would it be unearned?

[LVTwinsfan]

Moran fizzled right out.

[Vanimal46]

[Brock Beauchamp]

[stringer bell]

ESPN Gamecast is giving the Twins a more than 70% chance to win. I think the real number should be about a third of that. 

[Aggies7]

Why in gods name can we not pitch to people like sandy bleeping Leon and Myles bleeping straw?
