Let’s step it up a notch and give Duran a full-on victory sponge bath tonight
Good win with gritty pitching. Definitely a lucky call at the end but hey that’s the kind of call that has killed us many times this year. Just gotta focus up on tomorrow
Yes
Good dubya. Now please win in a blowout tomorrow or my heart is gonna explode
Known power threat Michael A. Taylor.

I’m telling you, johan duran is as cracked as he is jacked. I saw him at an Holiday the other day buying Monster and adult diapers. I asked him what the diapers were for and he said “they contain my full power so I don’t completely shit on these kids“ then he buckled a customers legs with a final strikeout and sprinted out the door.
TWIMS WIMMMMMMMM
LMAO imagine trashing umps, they’re always good and never get anything wrong.

Nice comeback win
I think the ump realized he blew the previous call and felt like he had to make up for it.
Good win. To celebrate, I’m popping an ice-cold Bally Sports Short Boy!
My friend’s next door neighbor is a good pitcher.
Boys need to score more runs so Duran can rest 😭

Guys I got Willi to wave to me
Yeah prolly a bad call on the last one. But the second to last one looked like a strike as the ball was next to the tracker the whole way. Tracker was trippin that whole inning
Hip Hip
Kep Haters in shambles.
