Just bad luck. I can't understand being against the best RP in baseball coming in 

You might want to hold your breath and not refresh Peacock..

[Aggies7]

34 pitches for duran after throwing yesterday. He’ll be out the next 2 days at least, and we couldn’t nail down the win. That’s the risk, but when you don’t have too many other options

[mrtwinsfan]

Its gonna happen ,  really only 1 ball was hit good for a hit, Howz bout Scoring , nothings changed,

I know what happened. It's bad luck and was the right decision. 

[stringer bell]

Middle middle fastball on 3-2 got Mateo. 

Now they have to face Bautista in the ninth. Good luck.

[mrtwinsfan]

They got our guy for 2  , lets return the Favor with Bautista

Miranda is in the lineup for Royce.  That's a change.

Its not Illegal  folks

Gallo with a leadoff homer? About as likely as Duran blowing a save/win opportunity...

And he was pinch hit for midgame so nothing really changed.

[CRF]

The sleeping bats killed us again. 

[9moons27]

Duran's control leaves something to be desired. Watch where the catcher holds the glove and where his pitches end up.

[stringer bell]

Odds of a Gallo K--75%?

[CRF]

No brooms today. 

[Aggies7]

What a loss. Really know how to take momentum and just strangle the life out of it 

[stringer bell]

Disappointing loss.

[Craig Arko]

2-4, as expected. Hopefully KC will be the balm required.

No.  Rocco said changes coming.

[mrtwinsfan]

Sonny gray still winless since APRIL, 

[weitz41]

this one was too much like the Atlanta series to think the offense has changed...

[9moons27]

Bautista shows Duran how to do it. Throw strikes. This loss is all on Duran and the pathetic bats.

[weitz41]

On the bright side of things. Pagan go someone out without giving up a run...So we got that going for us...

[William K Johnson]

Why walk O'Hearn to load the bases when your pitcher is struggling to throw strikes?    We need Lewis and Polanco back in this lineup as soon as possible.     Julien and Miranda need to go back across the river.

There's no reason to think the offense changed. It's the players.... Until the players change, this is it. Except maybe CC and AK hitting better, which history tells us they can....

Julien is more than fine. They are starting three backups, or worse, in the OF....

[Brock Beauchamp]

This is why we shouldn't get excited about blowing up one starter after a player meeting. They reverted right back to where they were the moment that game ended.
