Twins won.  Not a great win.  It was pretty sloppy like most of their games this year.  Poor base running again.  After celestino forgot how many outs there were after not advancing to third on a passed ball, he should have been benched.  We have guys who play poor baseball and don't hustle.  Uninspiring and no hustle baseball falls directly on the manager.  Good job Correa.  Although it took over 130 games, you finally got a clutch hit.  Cleveland lined up their starting pitching this weekend to have their 3 best starters face us.  The Twins not so much so.  We have Bundy, Archer and TBD.  Not exactly the starters that terrify other teams.  8 of next 11 games against Cleveland.  Could be interesting.  Maybe not.

With you, but he is the only guy that can play a good centerfield right now and to be honest, he is close to a plus defender out there I'd say. 

He has made a few of these type of brain fart type mistakes this year. I remember a game he forgot how many outs we had on a pop fly he caught and allowed the runner to advance thinking it was the third out. 

Someone needs to work with him on paying better attention and doing some of the small things that help you win game. Coach it, make him repeat it over and over in practice, before games, etc. 

Gladden had some nice commentary yesterday about how they used to practice at each base while their team was hitting BP each day. A few reps from each base, thinking and executing different situations depending on where the ball was hit, etc. In fact, this inspired me to do this with some of my girls at their softball practices. LOL

Glad the Twins won! Funny the article mentioned all the negativity towards Correa recently. I was thinking I might come in here and point out how the comments were undoubtedly missing the trash talking of Correa haha. Anyway, seems like he's right on track for a 4+ fWAR season and he's already at 4.0 bWAR.
