Unfortunately, the Clevelanders were not able to help the Twins lower their magic numbers.

It's like they don't even try!

[ashbury]

Moran ugh.  Pagan ugh.

[killebrewlover]

Well, if you're going to end a four game win streak, this is one way to go....  Incredibly inept bullpen work tonight.

The game is over?

Unfortunately, Pagan is a guy that as the pressure increases his effectiveness decreases precipitously.

No one said it's over.  I'm just saying "IF" you're going to end a four game win streak...

[Parfigliano]

Bravo bullpen.

I'm not sure why some people even watch.

[jkcarew]

That inning is on Moran, not Pagan.

Not for the top of the eighth in this game, just speaking for myself.

I was a Moran apologist early, but count me in on celebrating Thielbar and Stewart's return and in favor of any BP deadline additions.

[Twins_Fan_For_Life]

A reliever or two at the deadline?

Four runs scored. Moran faced three batters. Plenty of glory to share.

[Parfigliano]

K's are gonna kill this team.

Correct, Pagan takes too much heat this year. His ERA and WHIP are both pretty decent....Moran's on the other hand are not good.

If I was rocco, I'd have this whole team run foul pole to foul pole after the game. AGAIN, AGAIN, AGAIN............ and so forth.

[IndyTwinsFan]

In addition, the offense has done pretty much nothing, other than strike out a ton, since the first.

UGH. 

[RpR]

One guarantee, Twins watch first pitch strike go bye.

Was he on TV as well? He was just on radio for a half-inning.

As Corey said, "It's clear he's not from Watertown, S.D." Jenkins also dropped in a couple of "Yes, sir/no, sir" responses as one can easily imagine from a North Carolinian. 

Yeah, tv the half inning before radio. I keep both feeds going. 3rd out was recorded and he took 15 seconds to finish what he was saying. I could hear Dicks teeth grinding. 😂

[RpR]

Bad for the Twins to be leading going into the 8th.

And maybe a right-handed bat with some degree of competence, to boot?

HUH

[Parfigliano]

Weird how every team they play has a pitching staff made up of Nolan Ryan and Steve Carlton clones

[glunn]

I thought we had this one in the bag.

[IaBeanCounter]

18 Ks out of 24 outs!
