Yet he keeps getting run out in high leverage situations. There are probably 12-15 losses pinned on questionable bullpen decisions by the manager 

12-15?  Lol. Okay.

Challenging stolen base call...

 

I hope it matters.

Just as a reminder, the Twins once led this game 4-0

Those were better times, fun for all and jovial banter. Now, not so much.

You go to a meeting and come back and all hell breaks loose.  Apparently not-hitting is as contagious as hitting.  

I came out of a meeting and all hell breaks loose the other way.

Detroit brought their version of Jax in

[Aggies7]

Yes, so don't want him near them, sorry use anyone else he is the worst arm in the pen right now. He can be one of the best, but is scuffling. No close games for now or DL

Pagan less than 10 darn pitches breezes right through the inning. This is no brainer, he gets another.

And Pagan should of  went back out,  Gotta have a few guys to go more than  1   ,   

[USAFChief]

That 2nd HR off Jax and the free run Winder/Vazquez handed Detroit both prove important.

As did getting nothing of all those chances early

[IndyTwinsFan]

Inning started with a bang and ended with a whimper.

UGH!
