Who told Vazquez I call him "Wheels"?

[Randy Griffith]

Is this the return of the Great Pumpkin?  Two hits and a great throw to nab a baserunner.  Way to go Vazquez.

I like that Durán has an actual save chance here. Very old fashioned but whatever.

The 2 hits were compliments of the 3rd baseman and 1st base umpire. Baseball is a funny game.

[SD happy]

Man, I hate giving up 0-2 hits.

[MI2]

Anyone have an explanation for what’s caused Duran’s fall off this year? I know there were the injury issues early in the season, but his velo seems down all year long and his control has struggled. 

[SD happy]

That’s one!

[SS MagicMark]

I pitched him on a Wednesday and my heart stood still

Da Du-ran ran ran, Da Du-ran ran

I don’t know…. but maybe he doesn’t know from day to day, whether he is going in the eighth or the ninth depending on what happens in the seventh?

Maybe if management had a clue…..

How do we not have a better camera angle for this?

How about a yellow line somewhere out there? Or if there is a gap between the concrete and the whatever….fence!

This should never happen in a major league stadium any more!!

Duran is human this season and that's played a part in the Twins not catching Cleveland. Win is a win. Just hope he doesn't have any meltdowns in Cleveland or Boston next week.
