    Pagan has never walked more than 19 batters over an entire season in his big league career. He has NINE already in 8 2/3. Twins are playing with fire continuing to use him in that role. If we don’t have a true closer, then people should be given auditions. Duran has performed admirably when put into tight games when we’re ahead or tied. He threw ten pitches in his only save opportunity. The twins keep using him weirdly though. Like the other night in Baltimore, down a run in the 8th inning, a couple days after his only save chance. I’d say ride with him until he shows he can’t do it. His stuff is clearly better than Pagan’s. Clearly.

    Currently arguing with someone who thinks Pagan should still be the closer, especially over Duran. I’m sorry, you can’t walk guys in the 9th inning.

    Just turned on the Wild for the first time all year. Led 4-0 now it’s 4-2 halfway through the 3rd period. The atmosphere in the arena is absolutely dead. It’s the minnesota lurch, just waiting for the inevitable horror to happen. It feels like a Viking playoff game. Or a twins playoff game for that matter edit: now it’s 6-2. Bad things don’t always have to happen

    Archer isn’t exactly dazzling either. His numbers aren’t terrible but his longest outing so far was 4 1/3 IP. That’s not great even for 2022. Maybe he’s on a pitch count but he always seems about gassed before he’s pulled

    The only baserunner who has an excuse in that situation was larnach. That ball looked like it was going to be caught. Watkins held him up. I think Sano spooked urshela when he ran to second. Urshela should have stayed put, but sano was probably so shocked to actually be running bases, he almost blew The whole thing up

    Someone please tell me our minor league system is full of really good hitters

    As bad as Correa has been, you have to wonder what he’s thinking. I went from Houston to THIS? 5 or less hits in 7 of 12 games. That stinks on ice

    I was wondering when the twins were going to finally start playing teams they can beat up on. I’m still wondering

    Listless is the word I used to describe them. If they don’t mash 2 or 3 home runs early on, they slog through the rest of the game

    He would have been charged an error in little league

    9 games played, 5 or less hits in 6 of them. Awful.

    A probably gassed Duffey was a better option than bringing in colome and the 89 MPH cutter he throws every single pitch

    I think I saw the line at 4.5 for Arizona. Take that all day. Vikings will get blown out.

    The only reason that game yesterday was close was because the bengals are a bad team with poor coaching. Their decision to go for it up by 14 points on a 4th and 1 from their own 30ish was completely foolish and was the only reason the Vikings even had a shot. Had the opponent been a merely competent team, it would have been a packers-type blowout. Another year where the team was completely unprepared for a season opener. Just like this was another year of losing to the Yankees. It starts at the top and neither zimmer or baldelli are the guys to break this losing mentality.

    There is not a single state in the union more pathetic with professional sports than minnesota, none, zero. Pathetic, losing franchises who expect to lose. Sure, you’ll have some anomalies and playoff appearances, but losers expect to lose. And they do so magnificently. The vikings were mentioned above and I had the same thought in mind after today’s atrocity. When the Vikings were on the cusp of field goal range in OT yesterday, I said “just don’t turn it over”. And their star RB fumbles. Much in the same way everyone in the world knew one-pitch colome was going to serve one up to judge, effectively ending the game. I knew, you knew, we all knew. I’ve been watching for 30 years and one thing is finally clear: These are losing franchises and possibly always will be. Poor leadership, poor management, losing attitude. Nothing will change until that does.

    The starting pitching matchups on this entire road trip....twins had almost no shot in 4 of the 6 games before they even started. I know that’s not really how baseball “works”...but the point remains.

    Polanco did have a huge K with the bases loaded and 1 out, but Sheesh. That guy has three walkoffs THIS WEEK. He’s the most clutch player on the team. Donaldson, on the other hand, has been largely a disappointment in those situations the entire year (to put it very mildly). On top of that, after chirping about Cole, he was thoroughly dominated by the Yankees pitcher again. Now 0-6 with 4 K’s since his cole comments. He really showed him!

    Man, tough crowd. Barnes is already discarded as a “never gonna be” because he stunk it up in NY. Let’s just say he’s not the only guy to do that.
  19. Aggies7
    Let’s hope at least one of these games get ppd.

    And the bullpen game last night...pretty much just threw these two games away
  21. Aggies7
    It’s pretty funny how the twins just went toe to toe with three division leaders, winning all series and being very competitive. Now they show up in NY and are blown out early. If there was ever any doubt about the intimidation factor in NY, that should be cleared up by now.

    Why couldn’t Maeda start today? He started on Saturday. After yesterday’s short start, we couldn’t do another bullpen game. I guess it didn’t matter as albers did a good job in giving innings but I would have been shocked if we got enough out of gant in order to win. Certainly would have felt better with maeda out there.

    I like Berrios, but to my non-statistic loving eyes, he's maddeningly slightly above average. He's good, yes, the best we have. But his performance over the years has been over valued because of the disaster that is around him on the staff. If we had any chance of competing in the near future, perhaps I'd hold on to him. But you know some team, probably the Yankees, would be willing to way over pay for him if given the chance. I'd rather see another club overpay on him than the twins, who aren't going anywhere until at least the next election

    Keeping sano on the roster because he’s owed a lot of money is like not selling a lemon of a car you still have payments on, but doesn’t get you to work half the time. Maybe you can save yourself a few bucks and give someone else the headache.
