Someone tell Peter.

It's over.

You just did. But it may not be. We don't know. Might as well win though, that's more fun to watch. I'll cheer for wins with Peter! If this win was huge, the next one will be even Huge' er!!! Go Twins!

That was very uncharacteristic of Correa to just lope back to second without an effort, and then to top it off, run through the bag and be an easy target to be tagged out, if not forced out.

I guess we can conclude that his foot/ankle is bothering him and makes him tentative on pivots and slides. Also just slower than his usual slowness. No where near 100%

This was a bad base running blunder by Correa, there is no excuse from a leader of the team.  He wasn't going to score from second on a base hit, so he needed to go only half way.

So many Twins fans are allergic to fun.

Vasky said it wasn't called, he did it on his own

I just figured it had to be Rocco since he offered throughout the AB. I take the credit to Rocco back. 😄 Bunting on 3-2 is pretty ballsy of Vasquez. If he fouled it off, it would have been a long walk back to the dugout.

Not that I would recommend it in the Majors but when I was coaching baseball... with development really more important than a W.

If I gave the bunt sign to a hitter and he failed to get a bunt down and had accumulated two strikes attempting.

I kept the Bunt on. If he bunted foul... he bunted foul. When a bunt is called... he's going to bunt. The job is get that runner over. I'm not bailing him out. 

This is all a lot of tough talk from me because I can't say that I gave the bunt sign a lot. 

In other words... Good Job Vazquez... Bad Job Martin.

Twins need to keep winning and we need help from the Braves. BIG 4 games coming up. Will we rise to the occasion!

Go Braves!

As a Mets fan I will be cheering for the Royals. 

Which team between the Twins and Mets is more deserving? I think we all know the answer.

SWR would be the scheduled Game 1 starter on Oct 1 right now. Festa on short rest? I don't see the Twins doing that, but who knows?

Nice to see a win, but I think the season is done. KC, Seattle and Detroit all won tonight.

In June and July the Guardians were going to regress and the Royals and Tigers were no sweat. What happened?

[David Maro]

Royals and Tigers won again today!!

Turn out the lights the party's over!!
