Derek Falvey picked up the phone.  It was one of his bird dog scouts in the Dominican Republic.  "Boss, you gotta sign this schoolkid!  He just struck out all 27 batters for a 9 inning perfect game!

Bad loss. The logic behind giving Pagan a shot in high leverage situations makes sense with how well he's pitched recently, but he just doesn't have what it takes. I imagine Falvey/Levine have been pe

Pagan being forced into a high leverage spot is never good. Have to score the insurance run from 3rd with no outs late in the game. Can't throw it a mile over the 1B head on a routine grounder to 3rd.

Part of me was hoping that you'd just change the answer to match mine.  After all, I'm drinking the Scotch I poured for the group.

The manager's job is to put guys in position to succeed correct?

Pagan never succeeds when he is put in a situation correct?

Then why do you keep putting him in situations like that?

Stewart threw 1 pitch yesterday.

 

Sorry, that was just predictable.  I called it (like many others) 2 min before the lead was blown.  Any AAA pitcher can do this for less.

We had that game won, and gave it away. Yeah, Pagan did his usual stuff, but there were a lot of opportunities left on the bases. No killer instinct with this team, and not much ability to do anything in the clutch.

I still found this game more watchable -- the Twins bats were inert for so many games.  Yes, there were some fielding mistakes and Pagan blew the lead, but other games felt decided in the early innings when the Twins were 1 run behind.  Those are interminable.
