Generally when you’re ahead by 6 runs in the last inning, you take the easier out at first base and not try a Brett Favre throw across your body on the run to get the meaningless lead runner 

[sampleSizeOfOne]

So...

Did we win the game?

Or they lose it?

[USAFChief]

Winnah.

 

[Twins_Fan_in_NJ]

Nice win. However it had to happen...

[CRF]

No chicken, no crow...Mrs CRF has lasagna on the menu for tonight. Have a good evening everyone!

If you have to explain something so blindingly obvious, you're prolly wasting your time.

They are professional ball players and play like professional ball players by instinct.

Twins have made enough doofus plays recently to critisize this is a bit obtuse.

His Alma Mater….. Olivet Nazarene can be pretty proud now.

That is a school that I have never heard of before.

You have a problem send me a PM, other wise keep your BS to yourself.

You should tell that to Molitor, who also questioned the throw.

It’s not, I think you want to be contrarian just to be contrarian. It was a dumb play and always will be

And the pirates broadcast did too. And Correa’s face too.

Staumont has been solid this far.

The Sheriff better be ready to give some innings tomorrow.

I mean athletically it was a good play. Mentally it was boneheaded. Not that it matters.

[Tlaker]

Royals lose…. so there’s that too

What a wacky 10th inning, 3 HBP and Margot gets 2 hits in an inning... despite that the fact that he struggles to get 2 hits per game whenever he starts. We'll take that!

Would be nice if Margot could consistently get on base. I'll take the two hits and a win any day.

Maybe he’s finally coming around and will get his hitting going.

 

Any contribution is welcome.
