How bad did the injury to Gordon look?

He walked off the field slowly with assistance. Not sure if it was knee or ankle. Didn’t follow up with sources

With all the errors, this game is pretty much how Rocco and staff treat ST and it rolls into the regular season.  Very little accountability throughout the lineup.  The adage has truth: you play how you practice.

This is just how last spring felt: we dropped it and threw it around all spring training and then that pretty much set the tone for real games.
