What in the world was Correa thinking there??

"Here Cleveland, Put your fastest guy on base"

Why wasn't the infield fly rule called on that? The batter should have been called out.

[mrtwinsfan]

And  classless,    And  the faster runner burned him

Is no one saying the quiet part out loud yet? This is very likely Francona’s last season managing. 

Wouldn’t be surprising…what is driving it? Health? Just had enough?

Provus is all over Correa,   and right

Can’t like this enough….. boneheaded play by a supposedly smart player…..     

 

 

 

 

 

yep it cost a run!!!!

[IndyTwinsFan]

BOOOO!

[GusGus11]

Correa is unbelievable.

But never held accountable. Hes batting 4th. 0/3 all with men on base. 2 with RISP. 2 Ks. The numbers say hes awful with men on.

Then we let him do absolute nonsense like that on defense to hand Cleveland a run

My bad. There was a runner only on first (not first and second).

Its simple logic.

Does it suck to admit youre wrong and eat some dough? Sure. You know whats worse?? Eating 20 mil and letting a guy objectively make your team worse.

We will have to do something. We are not gonna go Jeffers and Vazquez for two more years. Just have every single minor league catcher sit on freeze for 2 years of a guy who cant hit, catch or call a good game????

An article in zone coverage contradicts your statement regarding Jeffers over Vasquez as far as just catching goes. Dated Aug 10 so it's fairly recent. The stats say opponents score 1.3 runs less with Vasquez behind the plate vs Jeffers 

[IndyTwinsFan]

Wow.  We're just not doing squat in any aspect of this game.

Sigh.

No our team era with Vazquez was 4.16 and 3.67 with Jeffers like 2 weeks ago. Its gotten worse since then.

I can't agree with handing them a run.  First, who's to say the other Cleveland runner wouldn't have scored in that half inning in that circumstance.   Second, if Pagan makes a good pitch there, it wouldn't have mattered who was on second.

[CoastiePilot08]

Waste. Of. Money.

He's had poor health for a few years at least now.

Kinda feels like one of those Rocco give away games for now….

Sure does.

[AceWrigley]

At least Correa is consistent.

[IndyTwinsFan]

I'm glad CC got booed there.  He deserved it.

Well I'm telling you what the article said. And it just involves the starting pitcher. And your claim was 1.5 rpg .

DP4

[GusGus11]

STOP BATTING HIM 3rd/4th

 

Like my god. The stats are out there. Hes borderline unplayable with men on base. Stop giving Correa prime spots. If its broke, fix it.

He can play. Just play him 6th or 7th. The Astros won world series doing it.

Consistently underwhelming?

No it was 1.5 era difference for Lopez.

And for Ryan.

Both were near 5 with Vazquez.

Who was catching yesterday for Maeda? When he was serving up meat.
