Mariners' should've been forced to send Julio to even things up.

odd to send Sano there.

Who else did they have the option of sending?

Fantastic job by Bundy. Things could have easily gone off the rails there. 

[RickOShea]

Did Dusty Baker and his son rfeally share a bed during Spring Training?

Correct answer is correct.

[a-wan]

Mediocre throw by Sanchez but Correa whiffed on the catch.

Wait, he's not the first baseman, not the second baseman... is he the right fielder?

How much was Sano out by?

A proverbial mile

I have no problem sending Sano there with 2 out. Make them throw him out.

I agree with that to a point, I think the play should be a little closer than that.

MLB should adopt the 'guest DH'.  Each game a team chooses a non-rostered player to be the DH.  It cold be entertaining.

Like billy Crystal for the Yankees, Biden for the Nationals, etc.

Mike Lindell for the Twins? Lots of HBP?

Concur, but understand the alternative logic. In this case, Correa hasn't exactly been a no-brainer in this situation at the moment. Personally, I think it was very slightly more likely to see a bad throw to the plate than to see a Correa clutch hit.

There's also the slight possibility of a PB, WP, balk, or error, in addition to a hit. But I still send the runner every time with 2 outs, and I think pretty much every MLB 3rd base coach does too.

Today is the 68th anniversary of the least interesting day in history. Google will tell you more. However, the apparent fact that it is the least interesting day in history makes it interesting`.

Exactly

[Vanimal46]

Too early to start chiseling the Dylan Bundy statue outside of Target Field?

[RickOShea]

I know it's super early, but my gut tells me it's going to be a long Twin's season.

Sano didnt help it by slowing down, 

[PDX Twin]

Plate ump has been inconsistent with strike zone, but he's probably the skinniest plate ump I've seen, even with all the gear on.

No he didn’t, he’s not a good baserunner, probably gassed by the time he got to third , my original post was probably should have held him, I’m good with it

Tony Diaz absolutely can’t be third base coach. He’s done this way too much.

Tony Diaz is not the third base coach this year. It is Tommy Watkins.
