Great line and exactly true. I missed the play with Miranda, but they wouldn't have been in the game without Gordon's contributions. They also may have won the game without his mental errors.
Baldelli says he didn't talk to Nick about his base running, but it was clear Correa talked to him about blocking Leon's throw and I'll bet he heard it about the erstwhile triple. Maybe Baldelli didn't need to mention it and wasn't going to pile on in public (managing 101). For reasons I don't understand, many will just blame Baldelli for any perceived slight without a shed of evidence, hence the moniker pitchfork crowd.
As @SwainZag said, Ryan looked great outside of the 3rd (and he looked great in that inning too after the homers). What was noticeable to me was he was humping it up there at 95 to start the game and the velo held up well for 100 pitches. He seems to have incrementally regained strength since the COVID bout. He has a smooth delivery and as Perk said, doesn't rely on max effort. I'm too shell shocked from all the injuries to mention this without fear of a jinx, but he looks like he could be around for quite some time.
