Jax is the guy that gives me heartburn lately, moreso than Pagan.

[stringer bell]

Jax hasn’t had a clean inning in a while.

Time is now..... hopefully. 

[RickOShea]

Jax gives up at least a run, book it.

[Mike Sixel]

It really is amazing they can hit balls throw that fast at all.....so little time to make a decision.

[Mike Sixel]

How did Gallo play that? Cant' watch, just curious if that was a legit triple.....

Okay, reverse jinx thing didn’t work.

This is not how opposite day is supposed to work.

[USAFChief]

Jax with a walk followed by a rocket for a triple.

I'm shocked.

[jkcarew]

Add “I wanted Pagan to go two innings” to the list of things I never thought I’d say.

[Mike Sixel]

Also, good example of Rocco can only use the guys he's given......the RP just isn't good enough.

174 MPH about 15 feet high until it banged off the rf wall. Nobody plays that.

[IndyTwinsFan]

Griffen Jax = Mr. Unreliable (yet again).

AARGH. 

[Aggies7]

To quote Patrick Reusse, this would be a bad loss. But well deserved

Gotta remember to take your foot off the clutch, i think...

Enough to make sure there's a case of Pepto nearby.

The ball took a weird hop and Baddoo and Greene are really fast.

Made worse by the precipitous decline of duran 

[wsnydes]

Well this is fun...

 

 

Opposite Day, sarcasm, take your pick...

[USAFChief]

I had a bad feeling about not scoring those two innings when we had every opportunity

[SwainZag]

And Torkleson again.   Damnit.

Likewise for Duran.  Far from ideal for guys who are supposedly the back end of your bullpen.

Just like Wile E. Coyote?

sigh x 2...

He's really had trouble putting guys away for about a month now.

You win!

Anyone wanna revisit their answer in my "Pagan or Jax" thread?

[Twins_Fan_For_Life]

Stop hanging breaking balls
