Any sign that MLB will ditch the runner at second in extra innings nonsense?  It is the STUPIDEST change to the game that they could have possibly made.  Bastardized Baseball

Shocked that Cave delivered....He and his sub .200 and sub .600 OPS.  Glad it worked, but the decision to have him bat in the playoff stretch run is asinine.

When he first came up he was doing very  well, all slumps end, or are supposed to.

Arraez and Miranda's slumps are not a surprise.

Smart play by Correa.....That's why you want a top notch SS

OK Miranda can either win the game or go zero for five.

 

I think an infield single, walk, hit by pitch were also options...

MIranda is too slow for an infield single.

His weaknesses are being exposed by father time.

And  he is pressuring himself , batting 3-4  hiim and gordon should be 6 or lower in real line-up

Yep ... and did you see him after Miranda tagged out Gonazales ... still on top of things directing things, making sure Miranda is checking the runner at first ... he's a leader on the field

He is D F A fodder on any decent playoff contender.  He has had more chances with the Twins than a 'woman of the night' in Vegas with a hammered group at a bachelors party

Nice inning Duran!! We've got momentum, let's walk off this 10th! Let's go!

[tarheeltwinsfan]

I'm glad the Twins won't have runners at 1st and third with no out to start the bottom of the 10th.

Now come on Boys , lets git er Done

Miranda is too slow for an infield single, although Big Sexy Colon did hit a home run, and got on base-on-balls in his career.

Slow people occasionally still get them. Perhaps by hitting something too hot to handle.

[D. Hocking]

OK - when we are up to bat, I am OK with someone starting on second.

[Crackedfungo]

Too bad the Giants burned their best reliever in the 9th....now finish this

[howeda7]

Is this Hamilton really faster than Miranda? We need Billy!

[RpR]

If the Twins do not bring Correa back, there will be a big hole in the infield,

[Parfigliano]

A bunt!!!!!

[RpR]

NOW Gordon bunts, well he is learning.

[Squirrel]

wow ... perfect bunt ...

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Gordon executes bunt this time.

 

Huzzah!

 

But we ain't out of the big woods yet.
