Just another case of Pagan blowing the lead

[TaterTot]

Honestly, i don't know why Emilio pagan is still with the twins. After having a good, consistent offensive performance for once, the twins were leading 6-4 into the 8th when pagan came in and, well, I’m sure you can imagine what happened next. Allowing two runners on base, Calvin Biggio, a negative war player per baseball reference stepped up to the plate and what else… pagan gives up a home run. The twins were not Able to mount a comeback and lost what at one time looked like an easily winnable game 7-6. Of course, pagan doesn't decide when he comes in, that is on Rocco. Rocco brings in pagan in the highest leverage situations like every game is an experiment. “Oh, maybe he will work it out this time.” The same thing happened in 2020 with Sergio Romo who always seemed to come in in the 9th inning of a close game and blow the lead. Of course, higher in the Emilio pagan pecking order is the front office who refuses to send him down, trade him or release him.It is long due time that everyone with the twins re-think things when it comes to closing out games with pitchers not named Johan Duran.

 

Video seems familiar eh?
