Inside the Park Grand Slam? You don’t see those everyday.

Nelson Cruz hit a “little league” inside the park HR with the sacks loaded, cutting the Red Sox 7-1 lead down significantly.

Looks like the Twins fielding! Go Nelson! He didn't even lose his Helmet.

How exciting for the Ray's fans to have Cruz.  Also been fun to root for the Blue Jays for a Wild Card spot.  I pay more attention to the Blue Jays than the Twins now.  Happy for Berrios and Cruz to get out of the dreadful Twins organization.  I am sure Buxton is counting down the days.   This is what baseball is all about to me.

Go be a fair weather fan elsewhere.

And no offense, but I don’t think anyone on here wants to read these types of comments.

Was that really scored a GS? I would think it was a triple, and then he advanced to home on the throwing error? (Guess I could look it up)

They changed the scoring to an error on Verdugo, followed by an error on Motter.

It was a 3-base error by Verdugo and a 1-base error by the 2B.

Guess it depends how you look at it.

I watch a ton of Rays baseball, but still manage to keep my focus solely on the Twins. That said, I thought the scoring change was bogus. The ruling should have been a triple and an error. The sun was brutal and there was nothing remotely "ordinary" about that catch for an MLB outfielder. We have seen many far easier plays ruled as hits. The Boston scorer was grumpy.

Possibly so. It’s your thread so I defend and appreciate your speaking up. However, a lot of lifelong die hard fans are feeling that same way, and the overwhelming majority of them do not post. I’ll just leave it at that.

Yeah, the sun looked like it was brutal...

I think the scorer was just “lookin’ out” for the home team. If the exact same play happens with the teams reversed it is most definitely a triple.

Hey—also, Stephen Gonsalves pitched for the Red Sox in that game!

Welcome back to the bigs.

Not a fair weather fan at all.  I have lost my patience.  Just when it seems we are getting somewhere we go and trade away the best pitcher the one we have been waiting for for the last decade.  Cruz is a fun player to watch.  Happy that they are on team making a run for it.  That is what I want.  Not only do I want them to make a run for it but to actually win a series in post season.  I can't believe I am the only one who is enjoying watching Cruz now and when TB is in the playoffs or Berrios helping Toronto make a push for the WC spot.  That is what the Twins have been promising since 2010.  And yes we won the division, while that is nice it doesn't do much good if you can't make it out of the division series (or at least win a game).  I feel like we are back to 2010.  For the last 5 years I have been afraid come payday they would let our guys go and it seems they are.
