Nothing like a rolling breaking pitch over the heart of the plate. This playing baseball by the gut thing is amazing.

Meanwhile the twins picked up something better than both Jay and Alonzo. Expand Yep. The Twins signed Nelson Cruz for $14 million dollars for this season with a cheaper $12 million dollar team option for next year. Cruz is currently sporting a ridiculous 1.040 OPS. Hahn wasted $13 million combined on both Alonso and Jay. Alonso is long gone and I’m afraid to even look at Jay’s OPS. Pretty awful.

Expand He also got a bargain deal on McCann who is one of the best catchers in MLB this season, offensively AND defensively. I'd say that outweighs those bad signings tbh.
