Rocco you rock head. Give him all the help you want and he just can’t help using this meltdown master 

I’m sure he doesn’t do it on purpose.

I saw on Twitter today somebody saying ‘Pagan is actually underrated!’ Here’s a reminder that having a great K rate is meaningless when you get clobbered when guys get the bat on the ball.

He'd be an All Star if not for all the bad outings.

[PDX Twin]

Let's let Pagan finish the game now. Save the real bullpen.

[MMMordabito]

Pagan should get charged the earned run anyway, just for sucking so much in front of his teammates.

You’re proud of the fans for booing?

Jeepers.

Booooooooooooooooooo

[mnfireman]

Pagan and Arraez.....

[LewFordLives]

Nice crowd tonight and they gotta watch this garbage.

[Aggies7]

But why is he still in the game?

Aggies7, Why don't you ask Baldelli?

[Battle ur tail off]

DFA after game. Bring up any old wet blanket. Take Rocco’s toys away so he doesn’t get hurt. Make him use our better arms

For $35 million a year,.....yeah, that's a play he's gotta make.

[IndyTwinsFan]

I would hope this will be Pagan's last game appearance for the Twins.  However, it probably won't be. 

Frustrating, to say the least!

[Brock Beauchamp]

Emilio Pagan is a REALLY bad pitcher.

I’m 1,100 miles away and don’t have the number for the twins dugout

[Steve71]

Pagan is such an enigma.  Great arm, can't get any one out consistently.

[jkcarew]

Can’t believe we’re behind in the 6th inning…us having already hit one single.

[LVTwinsfan]

Hard to imagine what buxton was looking at

[insagt1]

Horrible inning all around. Pagan just cannot be trusted at all. The 'd' fell apart. And why can't any starter go more than 5 innings? Is this a new MLB rule? guy was pitching a shutout. Up until a year ago, that meant he stayed in until either his arm fell off or he coughed up a run or two.

Bigger issue at the moment is that Twins aren't hitting a lick. (of course neither were the Jays until the batting practice machine was inserted.)

This too. Offense has been stinkaroo for far too long now

I would have taken 5 scoreless if offered. 

Yes.  And with the offense scoring just the one run in that same period of time, it was necessary.

Gray was cooked though. 50% strikes thrown. Pagan was just a terrible move.

He's gone full-Sano now that he is a DH.

[mrtwinsfan]

With all the outfield and bullpen issues,  i put it on Buxton-correa and polanco to carry this team  when needed,  where they been ?????????????????

It isn’t that great. Little to no movement and he shows the ball really early. There is a reason he gets hit that hard. 

[gil4]

That thirst strike the to Buxton was so right down the middle it crossed up the catcher. He tried to frame it to the outside, then to the inside, then finally just threw it around.

Agreed.  Very disappointment!

He hasn't hit well for quite some time now.

Great stuff, but has no idea where it's going. If he makes another appearance with the Twins ( I hope not) watch where the catcher sets up. It's never close.
