Correa gets tossed from the on deck circle... crazy.

That was really weird. I wonder if There must of been something else said or something happened earlier. He’s too smart to just lose his sh*t like that.
I was talking about Alcala. I think Correa was justified in contesting the strike zone.

What did everyone think about sending the slow runner home in extras? It took a great throw but IMO it wasn’t worth the risk. Could have had bases loaded with nobody out. Instead they scored no runs. Tommy Watkins strikes again.

I'm OK with it....the throw was a laser. Wallner's earlier out on the bases was costly and poor decision on his part.

Continuing to run Acala out there in close games is mind boggling!
Does it really take 3 years to figure out the guy doesn’t have it?

Funny semi-related side story. I took the family to see the Cubs last Friday against the Reds. Cubs are getting shutout by the starter and the game is kind of a dud so far. Reliever comes in and gives up a couple runs and the Cubs are maybe making a game of it.

Reds bring in Pagan with 2 on base. I got super excited because we all know what Pagan does, so I'm telling my family watch what happens....and he proceeds to take down 2 batters and end the inning. Schmuck.

Right call, bad baserunning by Walner. He did not get a good jump when that dropped. He like did a 360 or something it looked like.

Headed up to the game Saturday. Did a little recon to figure out who’s on the bump. If my figuring is correct, I was pleasantly surprised.

If it's more toward the 12 week timetable, his season could very well be over.

I would love to see some data on twins pitching injuries vs other teams or league averages.

These injuries are just so Minnesota Sports. It always happens to the key players.
