Game Thread Twins @ Padres 7/30/22 6:15 PM Come To Jesus Time

[CRF]

Gordo HAS  to get to 3rd on that.

[Hrbowski]

Awful base running by Gordon...

[h2oface]

Speedy Nick Gordon can't even get to third base on the single to right. Deep right field and a throw to the plate. And Gordon can't figure it out. Yes. Perhaps the worst base running team in MLB.

Gordon==  Brain dead?

Horrible baserunning this season but it didn’t cost us there. Looked like Miranda put his head down and took off as soon as it was hit, and that was stupid too. But it fell for a hit. 

[RpR]

Time for Arraez to do his thing-- or not.

.... or..... an excellent read that let a slower runner make the right play. Looked smart to me.

The team shopped him and found no takers at all.  They aren't ready to cut bait yet.  So... "Miguel.  Your knees looks like it's hurting.  A stint on the IL may do you good.  You did say it hurts now, right?  Right?"

Just my own speculation.

Had this kid on our high school football team that politicked his way into being elected team captain. He showed up to practice after the first game with an ace bandage wrapped around an ankle, claimed he sprained it in the game. Missed a whole week of practice, recovered fully in time for the next game. Then showed up at the next practice with the ace wrapped around his left wrist; another serious sprain. No practice that week. Showed up for the third game, all healed up. Guess what, next practice the ace was on the right wrist. Severe sprain, couldn't possibly practice. The coach, starting to smell a rat, insisted he show up for practice and at least walk through the plays. Kid bravely showed up, racked with pain, the ace bandage now back on his left wrist. Coach gave him the boot. Shows you what can happen when the right hand doesn't know what the left is doing. There's a moral for the Twins in there somewhere.

Arraez has strikeoutitis for him since the all-star break. 6 ks in 6 games

[RpR]

Correa swang at garbage!

That’s fine. I can’t argue. It looked like the RF was making a lazy read on it, is all, and Miranda might have seen that.

[Azviking101]

Correa w/RISP

.222/.282/.286

Absolute trash. 35 million for that 

[stringer bell]

Carlos is at about .100 with two outs and RISP.

For Sano that few Ks in 6 games would be breaking out of a slump

[Winston Smith]

Correa is hitting (or not hitting) .180 in July.

I would bet he was chosen for his glove , not for his bat.

Not a bad Sonny Gray tonight. Some hard contact but also hitting some corners.

I believe they still do.

BTW, who is the Fox color guy saying he was with the Twins?  I don't recognize the voice.

I guess we could probably pitch around Machado here — woops retired him on a 107 mph EV to Center which also works
