He sure didn't learn that here

One of the big stories this post season has been Seattle's arrival, and the clutch hitting of Jorge Polanco. Yeah, that Jorge Polanco. 

Polanco had, if anything, a reputation for steadiness in Minnesota. The Twins won a playoff series with Polanco on the roster, and he was an All Star in 2019, but he didn't really stand out as a clutch guy. Now, in the blink of an eye, he is a postseason assassin. He had the game winning hit in the final game of their series with the Tigers, and now, he has started with a .444 average, a home run an 5 runs batted in (matching his total in his Twins career) in a couple of games. 

Jorge Polanco had a long and devoted career as a Minnesota Twin, but it seems pretty likely that when most baseball fans look back at Polanco's career when all is said and done, people are going to think of his exploits as a Mariner.
