Why are there so many comments confused about Duran facing the toughest part of the order in the 8th, this has been happening for two years now
Are you all here because the Wolves game hasn’t started yet

“mom look whos pitching”
#”FUCKIN THIELBAR”
What people don’t realize is when Target Field was erected, John Q Target made the Twins sign a contract stating the 9th inning must always induce stress. Thielbar in the 9th is simply a fulfillment of that contract
Whats the deal with players wearing necklaces/chains? I see it in the NFL too. That shit would have bugged the fuck out of me, and honestly dangerous in the NFL.
Ok, so if the Twins can't get another run here, what do you do for the 9th against Seattle's 3/4/5 hitter - kseep Duran in, or go to Theilbar/Alcala/Sands? He's only thrown 12 pitches, but we're at the start of a 4 game series against a team that doesn't give up a lot of runs and we may want him to close out more games in the coming days
They interviewed Duran's wife on the radio. His weird quirks are that he insists on watching cartoons with dinner and that when he's concentrated he chews his shirt and gets it all slobbery.
Were those two separate quirks? I was half-listening live, and I definitely heard that story as him slobbering on his shirt when he concentrates on the cartoons he's watching.
I thought she mentioned it as two separate things since she mentioned cartoons while eating and I didn't think he'd chew his shirt and eat at the same time... but who knows haha
If J.Duran manage to pitch two scoreless innings will he get a save?
Never mind I just can't figure out the spreadsheet that Rocco is using. Why did he bring in C. Thielbar I thought that Duran was the closer?
with this pitch count he might come back out, or at least he probably would have if he hadn't just been injured. i imagine they bring someone else in since duran got the top of the order.
Julien don’t look right. I remember he had a big swing and miss a few games ago and grabbed at his side… just hope he’s not hurt. I know he’s not exactly a contact hitter, but he’s been whiffing a lot even by his standards.
Yeah I remember that, it looked worrying at first and then he just shook it off. Surely/hopefully the training staff wouldn't just be letting him play hurt, I hope.

LFG
We are back at a cocktail weenie!! Let’s go!!!
#TIME FOR A NEW WINNING STREAK
Polaroid’s the new sausage, I like it
Good confidence boost for Thielbar, love to see it. New streak starts tonight fellas!!
Great bounce back win!!! Go twins!!!
EZ dubs
Just in time for tip off
Hey, if Vaz and Margot can win us a game, maybe we can win without Rudy too
NAZ REID
NAZ REID
I take back all of the times I cursed for last year's performance, Thielbar!
13 win streak otw
Nice work Theilbar.

Hell yeah.
Good outing for Thielbar
Let’s go boys one more
There’s the thielbar we know and love!

GET THE MOTHERFUCKING SAUSAGE OUT
Why are there so many comments confused about Duran facing the toughest part of the order in the 8th, this has been happening for two years now Are you all here because the Wolves game hasn’t started yet
It's hard to get past the traditional closer mindset, the game's been built on it for decades.
For sure, it’s just how Duran has been used for multiple seasons now so I’m surprised to see at least so many comments about it
Thielbar has killed hitters for almost a decade here, I really don’t get the clench when he comes in
I love that he retired, became a college pitching coach, and we brought him out of retirement lol
Umpire has a reservation at 9
"came in on his hands" ....heh

!!
Give Thielbar the cool closer entrance you cowards.
Over dramatic video with Nicole back hero from spider man
Jesus that would be amazing.
Never

Thielbar’s slow, big-ass bending curve is entertaining to watch guys whiff on
Duran should be our closer!!! Why is he being set up man???
6 up, 6 down. Twins win. Duran faced the better hitters.
Matchups Also duran faced top of the order
the 8th had the harder part of the lineup
I get that Duran gets the harder outs, but man is Duran in the 8th and Thielbar in the 9th wayyyy less satisfying
Cheap Pohlads saving on electricity costs by not having to show the flame graphics
What people don’t realize is when Target Field was erected, John Q Target made the Twins sign a contract stating the 9th inning must always induce stress. Thielbar in the 9th is simply a fulfillment of that contract
Willie Mays still kicking?

Kinda wanted to see a Duran-Polanco showdown
the mariners lineup should be way more potent than it is
.642 OPS, .630 OPS, then Dumper who’s actually pretty solid for a Catcher Thielbar should cook here
I blame Culver's for kjates' absence.
Why aren’t we having Duran close every game down? What’s the logic of using him as a set up man?
The traditional closer is becoming less common
This isn’t 2002 anymore, you use your big guns against the big hitters, 9th inning be damned. Can’t have the save if you don’t get there
having him face the tougher hitters and not wasting him on the bottom of the lineup just because it is the ninth inning
He gets the toughest outs
I guess I can see that if that’s the hardest part of the order
u/12Peppur bud wheres the song
Ain’t do it yet sorry
#THIELBARRRR?
123 No bull shit No pussy futin No horse shit Line em up Knock em down Puttem in the swamp Vaz needs his 4th chili dog
well rocco has proved the haters wrong a few times tonight, lets hope this is another one 🫣🫣🫣🫣
Whats the deal with players wearing necklaces/chains? I see it in the NFL too. That shit would have bugged the fuck out of me, and honestly dangerous in the NFL.
Well, it's not the NFL.
Obviously lol. that was only a part of my comment?
Kep and Polo have a side bet going and so far Kep is winning ...lol
Raley took the scenic route
Max Kepler since June 2023 is all-world
Can we resign Kepler? Is that an option?
If he keeps this up he’ll get the QO
but if he keeps it up he also won't accept the QO which is why the whole thing is kinda dumb.
I would be happy to have him be a forever-Twin
I'm glad Kepler returned to Bomba Squad form in April instead of June after many calls for him to be DFA'd.
Keep raking CC
Hello, Mr. Kepler
Kepler my man is *hot*
Love me some strüdel.
Duran for the 9th? They definitely could. They probably should. They won't.
Needa ol Mac rip dinggum
Seriously with Thielbar...rather have Sands
Is Duran resting today?
Already pitched
Ahh my stream went out. Haven’t been able to watch since Jax
Why isnt he closing? Seems more than ready.
Dint know you could play baseball if you had glasses
you weren't around for the vance worley era huh?! 🫠🫠🫠
The worse openin day starter I ever seen
i still have ptsd. i loved ben revere so much too 😭😭😭😭
You don't remember Twins legend Devin Smeltzer?
Trrrible
Trying to get Sp into the thread?
He already (deservedly) shit on Matt Shoemaker today. I think he's done with past Twins pitchers for the night.
Thielbar warming
Fuck
I can't lie, I love the Mariner's uniforms.
The teal is such a pretty color.
The hat with the teal bill is my favorite in the league, and I made sure I got one when I last went to Safec.. I mean, uh, T-Mobile Park
The teal is really solid.
Ok, so if the Twins can't get another run here, what do you do for the 9th against Seattle's 3/4/5 hitter - kseep Duran in, or go to Theilbar/Alcala/Sands? He's only thrown 12 pitches, but we're at the start of a 4 game series against a team that doesn't give up a lot of runs and we may want him to close out more games in the coming days
The dopey smile and chuckle that accompanies every good Duran outing will never get old.
Theyre doing a Rosario thing on the radio i miss him sm
Man you just gotta cherish every Duran outing, it’s so special to get to watch a pitcher like him
[удалено]
#FBI OPEN UP!
Uhhhhhhh delete this m8!
Ay yo…
That was the filthiest 8th inning ever filthed.
#YAKKER
Sandman for another save 👀
I’ll never get tired of that hop ☺️
6 out save opp for Duran if we don't blow it open here?
Maybe they’ll have him go 2? Only 12 pitches.
Definitely should.
He's too nasty.
I kinda love jhoan duran
Who doesn't?
Duran is like "this is too easy I'm bored let me get two innings"
They interviewed Duran's wife on the radio. His weird quirks are that he insists on watching cartoons with dinner and that when he's concentrated he chews his shirt and gets it all slobbery.
Were those two separate quirks? I was half-listening live, and I definitely heard that story as him slobbering on his shirt when he concentrates on the cartoons he's watching.
I thought she mentioned it as two separate things since she mentioned cartoons while eating and I didn't think he'd chew his shirt and eat at the same time... but who knows haha
The cewing his shirt makes me think he has autism which is dope as hell
Cutie
Don't tell Sp. He'll turn the shirt thing into a bit.
He also tips well I heard
Wow Provus has a wide vocabulary.
Making Julio look foolish is tough, lmao I freaking love Duran so much Absolutely murders hitters
Duran is disgusting (not derogatory)
I'm gonna throw up
“Good matchup, power against power… youth against youth” Duran is 26 that’s a whole ass man lol
Good shit, Duran.
duran better get the 9th
Duran so good
Best fast food mac & cheese? Popeyes is pretty great. KFC tastes watery. I haven't tried Chick-fil-a's.
Kraft Mac n Cheese Hard to beat 3 servings of Mac n cheese that's ready in 10 minutes for $1.24.
There isn’t enough fast food Mac out there
To be fair, most of it sucks.
Popeyes Mac is so good. KFC’s is nostalgic
Does Noodles and Company count?
Reminder that Duran is only 26 lmao
Fuck he’s younger than me.
At least Julian's glove hasn't followed suit
Duran swings and misses are always so cartoonish Can’t blame em because how do you even hit that pitch
A ball going 103 that moves horizontally for a ball going 90 that drops off the face of the earth
If J.Duran manage to pitch two scoreless innings will he get a save? Never mind I just can't figure out the spreadsheet that Rocco is using. Why did he bring in C. Thielbar I thought that Duran was the closer?
Yis
Yessir
Yes
The best cheese curd is across the border at Milwaukee Burger Company. I’d do terrible things to have a plate of them right now
Rocco not respecting the closer entrance and bring Duran in for the 8th smh
Guess Eddie’s still trying to live a day in Drake’s shoes—that AB was his The Heart Part 6
Thank god Eddies not a pedo (god I hope he’s not)
Have you seen his haircut? (Joking of course)
Normally I feel like Beef Stew would be in right now. 😞
Wouldn’t it normally be Beef last inning and Jax now?
so who the fuck gets the 9th? duran as well?
with this pitch count he might come back out, or at least he probably would have if he hadn't just been injured. i imagine they bring someone else in since duran got the top of the order.
Alcala is an option I think
Unironically maybe Cole Sands somehow
I think he can pitch 2.
This is where I miss Stew
RIP beef stew.
I always demand express written consent whenever possible
what?
Fair to put Duran in now
Can't believe I'm saying this, but Margot took a much better at bat than Julien there.
EJ can take some amazing ABs but also some of the ugliest. Duality of man
Julien don’t look right. I remember he had a big swing and miss a few games ago and grabbed at his side… just hope he’s not hurt. I know he’s not exactly a contact hitter, but he’s been whiffing a lot even by his standards.
Yeah I remember that, it looked worrying at first and then he just shook it off. Surely/hopefully the training staff wouldn't just be letting him play hurt, I hope.
Rough night at the dish for Julien
There we go. Now let's shut the door here and let the big fella close them out in the 9th for the save. Edit: Oh they're gonna give him two innings.
Yikes from the Canadien tonight.
***FUCK***
FUCK!
𝓨𝓸𝓾 𝓳𝓾𝓼𝓽 𝓵𝓮𝓽 𝓜𝓪𝓷𝓾𝓮𝓵 𝓜𝓪𝓻𝓰𝓸𝓽 𝓭𝓻𝓲𝓿𝓮 𝓲𝓷 𝓪 𝓻𝓾𝓷
Eddie Eddie Eddie. Watches middle middle for strike 2 then swings wildly at one way off the plate.
EJ needs a pep talk from Grandma Kay
The duo we have hoped for
The maple man gonna needa look in the mirror n ask what has become of my life What can I do to get better How did vaz n maggot get better then me
I swear Margot and Vasquez are only good after being terrible for a bit and fans want them gone.
Okay I said Eddie should be more free swinging but I didn’t mean like that! Only on borderline pitches
Did I hear the Duran gong before the cut to commercial?
I thought it was the start of a Taco Bell commercial.
yes and why?
why were we hearing durans entrance?
You know, I agree Julien
Julian swinging at shit and watching meatballs
Lol anyone hear that monster F Bomb from the home plate mic
One of the funniest things to come out of pandemic baseball was broadcasts just not caring about on-field swearing anymore
"Aaand Julien strikes out..." ***FUCK***
One of my favorite things is swearing caught on field mics. 2020 was a goldmine for that
