Unless there's an injury, the made little sense ... not that I mind, if the Twins capitalize

I can’t watch, was it just a straight pickoff? How do you get picked off at second with two outs and a runner at third?
Straight pick-off. Correa slipped in behind Vlad to the bag and Gray made a great throw.
Kolten's was in a series two later than this. But, this is a close game and that wasn't.
Well, tying run was at the plate for Wong’s.
Twins must have been prepared for that, right? Maybe Vlad cheats a little with two outs given that he’s not that fast? He probably was thinking the extra step could be a game tying thing on a single with two outs. But Twins were prepared. Good coaching if true.
It's hard to have fond memories of him now, but that pop-fly homer was totally bogus.
Why are they still talking about Berrios? The Jays have pitched pretty well. Maybe Berrios holds them to fewer than two runs. Maybe not. Given that the Blue Jays have none runs, it’s a weird thing to talk about that being the game decider.
Yeah, I guess that is just the way now. Though Arod is usually pretty thoughtful. He is better in 5 minute studio stretches than having to do 9 innings, but sometimes says interesting things.
Not understanding that bunting doesn’t meaningfully increase run expectancy is maybe not helping my point though.
