  1. would he spontaneously combust if he had to?
  2. too bad we had to get two innings out of our real closer yesterday. now we have to settle for this nonsense again
  3. Duran should be given save opportunities until he proves that he can’t do it. Preferably the one inning variety. Yes he put two on in the 9th but he struck out 5 and walked 1 (and one HBP). Took 32 pitches to get through 2 innings. Pagan’s last 4 outings pitch count (all one inning or less): 34, 23, 27, 28
  4. understandable, it breaks our hearts that he's an incredible talent and you have to hold your breath every time he runs to first. durability and availability is also a part of the game
  5. this A's reliever is named Puk, similar to that guy who everyone hated on the first Real World
  6. no he goes by Twins Truth on twitter. tried to convince me that closers aren't really important because good teams usually win by more than 3 runs more often and the twins had the best save conversion percentage last season with a mish mash of people. he didn't think colome was directly responsible for the april losses last year because it's a team game. yeesh
  7. lol I argued with a guy for literally an hour about duran being the closer. i guess he preferred pagan for some bizarre reason
  8. i know we can't criticize injuries but my god man. the guy has paper mache muscles and tendons
  9. bounce back player of the year cadidate, griffin jax
  10. I don't even want to know what XWBACON is but it sounds delicious
  11. see, i lit a fire under polanco. he must read TD
  12. our record is positively incredibly considering how god-awful most of the hitters have been
  13. if not him, then who? joe smith is great in the role he's been in. not sure anyone would clamor for duffey in that role.
  14. literally every ground ball: "the ball kinda came up on him there on the last hop". annoys the heck out of me as a baseball groundskeeper lol it can never just be an error, has to be the groundskeeper's fault. larry devito probably hates hearing that
  15. you're right it was tied. just puzzling that he had a 10 pitch save a couple nights before and he was brought into a tie game in the 8th inning on the road. if they are going to essentially audition guys for the closer role then they should treat one guy that way at a time IMO
  16. polanco needs to promptly get his head out his behind. he's been terrible. barely hitting .200 and now his defense is bad.
  17. 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.
  18. 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.
  19. I’m sure Emilio pagan is a great guy but he should never be put into another save situation earlier than the 12th inning
  20. Except for here, apparently, because we use our true closer in other situations
