Jhoan in the eighth inning will give the press something to talk about. 

[Aggies7]

Gotta get this soda stream guy out 

[AussieG]

Duran ffs. you throw 104mph, stop trying to be fancy

[Aggies7]

I have not ever, nor I will ever, like using your closer in the 8th unless it’s a 2 inning thing. Ever 

[TwinsCD]

He throws 101...why are we calling curveballs that he can't command?

[Shaitan]

ah, baseball

Ahem. Thank god our best saw their best

[TwinsCD]

The bullpen disease has now spread to the closer.

[USAFChief]

Three pitches and not ONE fastball from Duran. 1-0 HBP and hanger for HR.

Effing ridiculous pitch selection 

[Peter]

Game over😡🤬😡🤬

[Parfigliano]

Middle middle meatball.

[IndyTwinsFan]

Well, that backfired royally.

AARGH!

[Aggies7]

These last 5 or so minutes were Viking levels of bungling

I'm inclined to agree.

[mrtwinsfan]

Well that all worked out well Rocco got any bullets left ?

[cheeseheadgophfan]

I don't care what anyone says, bringing your closer in the 8th is stupid....give guys roles and let them. do their jobs.  Nobody else in baseball does this.  It's Rocco thinking he's smarter than everyone else.....

Haha I'm afraid to look. They have bullpens right out there for all to see here.

[Parfigliano]

FBs right by them.  Beat on splitter and curve

[Peter]

Another one run loss🤬😡🤬😡🤬😡👎👎👎 rather have lose in blow out instead 

[cheeseheadgophfan]

After giving up the HR, Duran is now shaking Vazquez off repeatedly to throw his fastball......is this Vazquez or the bench turning Duran into an 85 mph curveball specialist?
