Carlos Correa Returns to Twins Lineup as Playoff Push Intensifies

[NotAboutWinning]

Correa is back.... And wearing New Balance??

Also he is either clearly in pain and playing it off, or his brain is hung up on his foot between pitches.

I think someone got the headline wrong.

"Correa returns to Twins lineup in latest slam of panic button."

Wow. You'll grant me that the guy that's been DFAd by three teams this season, including the Twins, might be a DFA candidate on any other team. Thanks. 

I'll also allow that Henriquez is not a DFA candidate. That was hyperbole to speak to his ability and results, which aren't good. ignoring his contract situation. He's the perfect option RP. Think he's still got options so he can start next season in AAA again and get a call up when stretched thin. But anyone expecting anything more than a 7th or 8th arm from him is asking too much. 

As for Blewett, he's got 217 innings in AAA with a 1.73 WHIP. He's not good. All the best of luck to him, but he's simply not good. 

It's not the fact that any one of them is on the team that's bad. Every team has DFA candidates in their bullpen at any given time. It's that all 3 of them are on the team in the most important stretch of games that speaks so poorly of our front office.

And they are getting the results needed too.  Tonkin has a 4.76 ERA but Blewett is 2 earned runs in 14 innings with 12 Ks and 3 BB and 13 hits.  Is it sustainable?  I don't know.  He does have a high nineties fastball if i read correctly.  But he is also low leverage.  I am not saying he will have a great career.  He has had a great last 4-6 weeks and we just need that to last another 4 more weeks is all I am saying.

Buxton and Correa not in Sundays lineup.  What a joke, like our manager and Falvey too.  I guess all the hype about those two coming back to spark the team was just that;  hype.  Even management isn't buying into the hype.  You are in a play off run.  If you are at all serious about trying to make it they need to play.  If Twins miss the playoffs Baldelli and Falvey have to go.
