Can't believe we didn't see Correa for Gordon.

[h2oface]

13 LOB. Damn.

Now..... extra inning fake baseball.

[KirbyHawk75]

Is Correa hurt?

[jmlease1]

Liam Hendriks got awfully excited for an all-star closer who just struck out...Nick Gordon. In April.

I HATE the runner on 2nd B.S. in extras. That's not baseball. 

[glunn]

I wonder how much the advertisers pay for extra innings, and who benefits from the additional revenue.

Too true. Did Baldelli forget he had a perennial All-Star on his bench who BTW can also play shortstop?

One wonders.

 

I can't imagine even "scheduled day off" Rocco doesn't find a PH opportunity for Correa in the 8th OR 9th.

He obviously doesn't care. He has a plan, and a chart, and can't adapt to the actual game circumstances. Not in his wheelhouse.

Maybe saving him as backup catcher?

[USAFChief]

Horrible 0-2 pitch to Anderson. Need to at least TRY for a K there.

Correa?

 

I'd wager Boras would file a lawsuit if Carlos Correa got within 19 feet of catcher's gear.

[Mill1634]

This has been the worst umpire for a Twins game this year. Going both ways as well.

[KirbyHawk75]

Great...Theilbar is warming up.

[Mill1634]

Shoot.

[bighat]

Welp, fake baseball can certainly sting sometimes. Yeowch.

Truer words have never been written. This is 100% exactly spot on correct. 

[glunn]

Could Kepler have caught that?

[h2oface]

FAKE BASEBALL!!! Instead of a runner on first with a 2 out single, we have a run scored. SOOOOOOO BOGUS!!!!

[bighat]

Sano, Godoy and Buxton, what an interesting trio coming up to try and tie/win the game for the Twins.

[USAFChief]

I've gotten at least 4 loud F-bombs from the dugouts on todays MLB.com feed.

[glunn]

Who will be our fake runner?

[cheeseheadgophfan]

Down 1....do we bunt with the ghost runner on 1st?

If only the Twins got the same runner! So unfair!!

I think that last one was actually Smith - after Abreu hit the ball to short and it was clear he was getting out of the inning, he yelled that f-bomb into his glove as he started to walk off the mound.

Fair doesn't make it not fake.

This is what Rocco said about Correa
