Alas, no Duran Duran matchup.

Apparently Bochy isn't a fan.  Maybe he should have been.

so he gets it done but I'm not very impressed with him as a closer.

OK--enough of that. Its a win and the lead remains 5. Right now however you can bank a 'W' you do it.

Duran looked good tonight.

Hard for me to say "could have been zero," when Pagan walks the bases full with no out. But yeah, overall the pen was fantastic, and they needed a lot from them with Keuchel only going 3 1/3.

I only say that as the run that scored was the missed strike three call.

Duran went at em tonight

WAS A TOTAL TEAM WIN FOR SURE,   Down 4-0    good game 

[wabene]

That was entertaining, f Cleveland

 

Edit: yeah well except my wife works for a company based in Cleveland and the ching comes in handy, so I guess I'll take that back

Texas has got to be absolutely sick of playing the twins at this point

its easy to monday morning q-back once the game is over. During the game, things were tense and lately our pen has been shaky, So its OK to be a 'naysayer' while the game is in progress. Tonite they mostly got it done. But to be fair...Pagan's 3 walks to blow the save wasn't particularly impressive. Duran had some off moments in the 10th. So despite the 'stat' that says 2 runs in 6 2/3 innings, Twins almost coughed it up late.

its also OK to be a yaysayer! Its called being a fan that one has ebbs and flows during the game
