It was likely decided at 2 this afternoon that Megill would pitch tonight. I hate that. 

He threw the bones and the bones know all.

Well, he put up a 0 @ 9:28.....so there's that!

[Aggies7]

Sandy regressing to the mean....

[mrtwinsfan]

Glad we got alot of SPEED at catcher spot

[Aggies7]

Would be cool if the offense could build on early leads with a little more frequency 

[stringer bell]

I wish Megill would throw more fastballs. I don’t trust his secondary pitches. He I’m looked overmatched by the heater and he was the best hitter Megill pitched against. 
Glad he got out of the inning. 

[howeda7]

Not even a whimper from the offense. Ugh. 

[howeda7]

[mrtwinsfan]

 Rocco could leave him in for the 9th

[mrtwinsfan]

For sure

[Sutter50]

Duran has confidence.  All year long all I have been reading on these game threads is that the Twins don't have a closer. Well, now they do. Use him

In Game 6, sure.

But given every other prospects' injury record and the lost 2020 minor league season, I say don't push him at this time of year. 

They added Lopez for a reason.

[Sutter50]

Duran will be available tomorrow
