Yeah, I was confused by that too. Not a good call by Provus to say the runner may have left early.

Robert is on the 10 day IL (hip). Moncado is on the 60 day IL (adductor).

I mentioned that Vasquez was last. Next worst is actually Julien Rk. Player Team Age Position Competitive Runs Bolts HP to 1B Sprint Speed (ft / sec) 1 Buxton, Byron MIN 30 CF 20 28.6 2 Martin, Austin MIN 25 LF 20 27.9 3 Castro, Willi MIN 27 SS 19 27.2 4 Kirilloff, Alex MIN 26 DH 32 4.47 26.9 5 Correa, Carlos MIN 29 SS 12 26.9 6 Margot, Manuel MIN 29 RF 11 26.5 7 Farmer, Kyle MIN 33 3B 18 26.2 8 Jeffers, Ryan MIN 27 C 24 26.2 9 Santana, Carlos MIN 38 1B 16 25.2 10 Julien, Edouard MIN 25 2B 20 24.5 11 Vázquez, Christian MIN 33 C 11 24.5

Correa has the fifth best sprint speed among the 11 Twins who have enough attempts to qualify for this list.

Good guess, he is the third worst at 25.2 ft/sec. By the way only three Twins rank above the league average (27.0): Buxton, Martin, and Castro,

Miranda pretty slow getting to first on that DP. I checked his sprint speed on Baseball Savant, but apparently he doesn't have enough attempts on the season to register. Vazquez ranks as the slowest Twin (24.5 ft/sec). Any guesses as who is the second slowest?

Man nothing is easy.

Not a lot of team speed on this roster.

So some outs really are better than strikeouts?

Good job Jax.

A thrown on a long hop is easier to handle than a ball in the air when a runner is bearing down on you, IMHO.

Watching the replay it looked like that throw -- one long hop -- could have been handled.

This is a good point, but it seems like ownership/the FO has to have the foresight to know whether Correa's contract might hamstring them down the road before they commit to that signing. That's kind of their job.

Good hands, plays all the infield positions.

After three innings the Orioles have 7 runs, the Twins have one hit. I really hate playing the role of the Washington Generals. (Some might have to Google that one.)

The explanation was the loss of TV revenue due to the issue with the Bally Sports contract.

The Orioles are loaded with talent. They're outclassing us.

Two Ks looking with the base loaded.

Agreed. On the TV broadcast Perkins said "Margot took a wobbly route to the ball.:

Some lucky hits, but it helps when you put the ball in play.

Right. This lineup wasn't scoring runs WITH Correa.
