This one is Jeffers.

This one is on the entire offense.

Festa vs Nola tomorrow, would have liked to have won this one 😂

[Shaitan]

1 pitch from Ronny is kind of the nail in the coffin.

Hasn’t been a single time in MLB history a team has won scoring 0 runs.

Yea I’m not liking Festas chances against this lineup. He will need 60 pitches to get thru 3. 

[Irishman]

Duran is not that reliable pitcher.  Need to get elite closer in next week’s trade.

Have another Guinness.

[Parfigliano]

Lots of backward Ks.  Margot PH streak still a go.

[h2oface]

Duran has become the Lopez of the pen. The expectation is there for excellence, but he just can't live up to the consistent performance. And it seems so many, not just the Phillies, make contact against him now. Even his high speed fastballs. Rarely does he have a clean inning. Someone always seems to make contact, if not all the hitters.

We had the same opportunity, and we gave it to Jeffers, and the Phillies had Marsh. Damn. These last 3 series have been telling for being able to perform in close games. We were really rolling before Reese, Correa, and Miranda all went out at the same time. Plan Bs just can't quite do it.

[Linus]

Someone needs to tell the Phillies that long stringy hair isn’t a good look. 

[Vanimal46]

Death, taxes, and Manny Margot not getting a PH hit. 3 guarantees in life. 

[Shaitan]

Almost as many errors as hits, anyway.

[Aggies7]

I don’t hate the Phillies as much as the yankees even though I’m surrounded by Phillies fans. I guess we just don’t play them enough. And we have a winning record all time against them 😂

Thats why it must be Dobnak.

[IndyTwinsFan]

Yet another loss in a very winnable game.

Sigh!

[TwinsCD]

To Maki, Jeffers, Vazquez, and whoever else calls pitches -- see what the Phillies did with Strahm there in the 9th and attacking batters and throwing gas?  How about we stick with that with Duran instead of insisting on constant curveballs?  What happened to the splinker?  Haven't seen that in a while.

People may laugh, but you are right. You can never have enough elite arms in the pen. And Duran is not reliable as you need to make the run for the trophy.

Detroit Tigers.  July 12, 1979

You could look it up.

/ or, I could just tell you.  Disco Demolition Night in Chicago.  Forfeit.

Better than being fat.

[mnfireman]

Really need Correa, Lewis and Miranda back, these guys replacing them are not ready for primetime players...

[Vanimal46]

Wheeler twirled a gem pitching performance and the Twins don’t have the bats to beat the elite teams. 

[Parfigliano]

Mets beat yanks
