Twins players react after playoff series win
Jim Rich spoke with Minnesota Twins players moments after they swept the Blue Jays at Target Field in the Wild Card round of the MLB playoffs.
Carlos Correa said after he remembers watching the playoffs from the couch last year. That was enough motivation for him to perform in the biggest moments.
"Knowing that if you don’t win ballgames, you go home. Going home for me, it’s not fun. Last year when I was sitting watching the playoffs, I told my wife I never again want to miss the playoffs," Correa said. "When you’re in between those lines, you just focus a lot more. You give everything you have out there, all the energy and every little thing that’s bothering you in your body doesn’t matter. Just go out there and try to perform to win games."
