Big league 5-4-3.

Announcer terms it "a great double play".  I'm nowhere near to calling it that.  But I never get tired of 'em either.  And Correa delivers those as well and as reliably as I recall any other Twins SS; I agree with Plouffe (?) saying just now that when it's in Carlos's glove it's over.

[MMMordabito]

Killer double-play!

What i miss?

Quantrill is baffling batters so far. Pitch count is creeping up however.

Pretty good genes that guy has. His daddy was a stalwart reliever for a lotta years.  Twinks seemed to have his number, tho... 😅

Wait.... Correa is 6, right? What's he do to deliver a 5-4-3 doubleplay?

Nice double play as just discussed, not even a page back.

Carlos is so good he can slide over when nobody's lookin'.

(I believe Chief merely mis-spoke, but we don't nitpik at this site, do we?)

[USAFChief]

Man, this offense is not very good.

[Patzky]

A hit but AK is the last guy I want up

 

[CRF]

Buxton finally finds some turf. 

[MMMordabito]

It kinda funny (well, maybe not) that Cleveland can afford to part with good cost controlled pitching, but they can't afford good cost controlled pitching.

Although i think they are needles, not picks

It supplies energy to over reactions.

[Patzky]

Two errors.. c'mon don't help them.

[MMMordabito]

[David HK]

Seriously?

Is the guy actively TRYING for the DFA list?  

 

[USAFChief]

Someone remind me why Margot is on this team.

[MMMordabito]

Wow, DFA tomorrow please.

He's the leader of the beard brigade.

I get it, if I disagree I'm "silly"....

Of course I'd rather have Varland be good, I'm not sure how that's in doubt.....

We like silly.

(and i'm pretty sure disagreeing and silliness are orthogonal)

To play baseball, i think.

 

[Patzky]

The Caleb Hour is upon us.. and I'm not talking Boushley.

[thelanges5]

Louie did well. 👍🏻

[TwinsCD]

Why do I have the feeling I'm going to be cursing the removal of Varland after 5 effective innings?

Done good, too.

[David HK]

Ain't no reason to pull Louie after 5 and 63 pitches.  For God's sake, he's there to try to give the BP a rest.
