2nd night in a row - bad baserunning mistake by Gio Urshela.

[MadHits]

Gio wtf man

[LVTwinsfan]

Can you challenge, I’m not sure he touched 3rd

[a-wan]

Woof. That is some bad base running.

[kydoty]

Sucks, but looks like the right call was made.

[mrtwinsfan]

Gio No excuse for that,   no excuse he thought 2 outs

[stringer bell]

One side or the other is going to be upset by that call. Did Gio go past thrid? I dunno, but he didn't retouch.

Yep super frustrating to see a rally killed again by Gio. I thought he was gonna get doubled off for sure when the throw was coming in and looks like he was in a less conventional way.

Interesting that they aren't showing the swings on Gameday replays of home runs, something to do with tipping pitches or what?

Whomever bet Bundy would outlast Cole is a wealthy person right now. 

Yeah, my bet is looking real bad right now, however, I did also bet on the game's total score going over 8. Somehow, I got that right in the 2nd inning!!

[Mill1634]

He never touched the base based on that view

[wsnydes]

It's amazing they're doing what they're doing offensively with all of these outs on the base paths.

[Vanimal46]

Not sure I would have wasted the challenge on that call. 

[wsnydes]

@Danchat

Didn't make that bet, eh?

[LVTwinsfan]

They need to get some better views if they want to do this right 

[Mill1634]

Someone needs to get ejected here. That was not the right call.

They said "stands" rather than "confirmed." Wasn't enough to overturn it.

I don’t think he touched third.. They just didn’t have a view that proved it

[stringer bell]

Facebook says that this is the first time the first three hitters in a game homered for the Twins. 

[USAFChief]

He should have been tagging up anyway. That's the correct baserunning play. He scores anyway if the ball is over Judge's head, and tags if it's caught. 

We make a lot of baserunning mistakes. 

HRs cure that...

[Mill1634]

The call on the field should have no barring on how the play is called after replay. Just my opinion, but it is my belief across all sports. 

[Puckett34]

just need 8-10 more insurance runs

[bighat]

Meanwhile this game is by no means over and Twins fans should consider themselves lucky if Bundy gives up 3 runs or less in the next 2 innings.

[Steve71]

Pretty clear he forgot how many outs there were after the long inning and then the pitching change.  I believe it is SOP for base coaches to make contact with runners on base after a delay like that to remind them of the number of outs.  Not clear if that was done here or not, but should be.  Too bad, might need that extra run to be sure vs. this lineup.

[Vanimal46]

Make it through this inning Bundy and you did your job.

He’s already in scoring position at second, not a huge advantage to be at third with 2 outs

Unless they had a better view of third, there's nothing they CAN do but let the call stand. 

[CRF]

Long way to go yet...and Bundy's still in there. I'd bet we need more runs.

The past week has been atrocious with all of the blunders between the players and Tommy Watkins ill advised decisions to send runners who have no chance of scoring.

[Vanimal46]

Stanton doesn’t make that catch.
