Wooohoooo!!!!

Okay ... more runs now!

Stop you guys ... these are jinxes and I'm holding you all responsible

Yikes … don’t like seeing anyone get hurt

If you continue to make tasteless non-jokes, yes. Be warned … another tasteless and inappropriate comment like your Abbott comment, you are gone from the thread

Well now … a lead off double scores

Except make incredible throws

Really? So all those posts in the Reyes thread were ? love that your answer to Ash about why there weren’t other game threaders postings that this was your answer …

I see you found the actual game thread. I guess you became literate enough to realize it? ?

Geez, what an arm

Not that I know, but the weather ball hasn’t been a thing since the building it sat upon was a victim to arson … back in the 80s, I think

When the weather ball is glowing red … have this jingle in my head

Perfect

Is it raining there?

I recall the interview with Mariano Rivera after giving up a walk off GS to Jason Kubel. He was asked about the pitch to Kubel and Kubel’s hit and he said, basically, hits happen. He thought he made a good pitch, but guess not good enough. He wasn’t overly concerned. What he was disappointed about with his performance was that he gave up a couple of walks that inning. It wasn’t about the hits he relinquished. Those were the ‘mistakes,

Back when he signed with us, he and Boras both commented on how well he had done at TF, with Correa himself saying ‘I see the ball really well there.’

I didn't say they would ... I said they could ... let's not turn this thread into a payroll discussion because that's not at all where it needs to go. And yes, along with pie, I want my cake and to eat it, too!

I like the plan. But … the Twins could still spend on all that AND Correa … I don’t think it’s an either/or here

Long haul covid, and before that, didn’t he have some kind of lengthy battle with an intestinal issue or virus? He seems to have had a couple of seasons where illness really zapped his physical strength and abilities. It’s good to see him contribute as he has. His will along with assistance from the coaching staff … and I’m sure his family has helped, given their pedigree in the MLB … Gordon has become a valuable team member. I’m glad the Twins didn’t give up on him as easily and quickly as most fans did.

It doesn’t look like Jansen dropped the ball. It looks like he never had it in his mitt. But yeah, if Chapman makes a better throw and/or if Jansen actually has the ball in his mitt, yeah, Gordon is out and we would be one out with runners at first and second. Or, if the catcher hadn’t missed the catch on strike three to Cave or if he had made the throw to first, there would have been one out with Gordon at third when Beckham came up to bat. And then if Beckham hits the same way, we’d still likely have the same play at the plate and if Chapman makes a clean throw and if Jansen makes a clean play then we’d be at two outs with a runner at first with Contreras up to bat. If he gets out, then it’s back to our BP and we if ourselves out of a win. The if game is an interesting exercise, but I’ll stick to our win, and choose it gladly. Because we won! Woohoo! ?

The Twins don’t have the option to opt out, only Correa does. But even if the Twins had that option, no, they shouldn’t. Correa is well above average. You obviously haven’t watched him play. Yes, his offense is down this year and I hope that picks up for the remainder of the season, for however long that is. But Correa is far above an average SS. And we’d be lucky to have him for longer, imo.

He stopped by to enjoy the win with fellow fans and found none were enjoying the win but crabbing as usual.

Eh, not really, but I do like that song.

And then there’s the young fan down the row looking down … probably into a cell phone. Lol … I like looking at crowd shots. (And I didn’t take your comment as a dig about Rocco. I was just going for of a juxtaposition comment about the overly outwardly expressive Bremer to the more reserved expression of Rocco.)

My hopes are he stays or the Twins find a way to redo and extend his contract. Yeah, pie in the sky. I like pie, though. Despite that, you can’t always get what you want and I don’t think Correa will be a Twin next year. I’ll be eating that pie to console myself.
