Is there any way to watch the game on my phone? The Spectrum app won’t let me, and I have to pay to see it on mlb app. Stuck at work late. So frustrating.
You Tube TV free trial?

I went with ipad at home facetiming the tv to my phone at work.

Except it is somehow picking up the sound of the birds in the kitchen chirping instead of the sound from the tv right in front of it.

Chirp chirp mother fukker!

I like this game so far!

Time for a DP

If he can’t run he shouldn’t be out there

According to super statcast whatever, Arraez actually ran to first faster than his season avg.

Post by **Slap Shot** » Fri Oct 04 7:19 pm

Come on now!!

Post by **CollegeHockeyAddict** » Fri Oct 04 7:20 pm

Just a strike.

Post by **The Rube** » Fri Oct 04 7:20 pm

Sigh.

Post by **CollegeHockeyAddict** » Fri Oct 04 7:21 pm

Why was Arraez not covering second?

Post by **Slap Shot** » Fri Oct 04 7:21 pm

Ok, you need to settle down and end inning with less than a tie.

Playing the shift, but dunno why he didn't make a beeline towards 2B after the hit.

Post by **The Rube** » Fri Oct 04 7:23 pm

And we need to pull Berrios. NOW.

Post by **CollegeHockeyAddict** » Fri Oct 04 7:24 pm

Yes he was shifted to the left side of the infield but was still pretty close to second base. He had plenty of time to cover second base.

Post by **Master_Shake** » Fri Oct 04 7:24 pm

Well that was fun for a couple innings

Post by **Vegasgopher** » Fri Oct 04 7:24 pm

Post by **The Rube** » Fri Oct 04 7:25 pm

Yeah, this is not fun anymore.

Post by **Slap Shot** » Fri Oct 04 7:25 pm

And a botched DP.

Post by **Cowgirl** » Fri Oct 04 7:25 pm

We are having our meltdown inning early. Okay. Hopefully that means we'll kick ass in the end.

Post by **Greyeagle** » Fri Oct 04 7:25 pm

Cron has to make that catch. Every day.

Post by **CollegeHockeyAddict** » Fri Oct 04 7:25 pm

Cron it is important as the first basemen to catch the ball.

Post by **Vegasgopher** » Fri Oct 04 7:26 pm

Gotta get to 8 to win...these are all 8-6 games

Post by **Master_Shake** » Fri Oct 04 7:26 pm

It also helps when a middle infielder can catch fly balls, throw and cover bases.

Post by **Karlsson** » Fri Oct 04 7:27 pm

Hmmmm. I think I've already seen this episode.

Post by **Slap Shot** » Fri Oct 04 7:27 pm

Ok ok - this is not your Gardy Twins they will not fall apart because of this. Go out and get at least the tie next inning LETS GO!!

Cron should have caught it.

Post by **Greyeagle** » Fri Oct 04 7:29 pm

That last pitch makes me think Berrios is going to amp it up next inning.

Post by **Butters Stotch** » Fri Oct 04 7:29 pm

76 pitches through 3 innings. Might be lucky to get one more.

Too bad we'll only get 20-30 more pitches out of him.

yes. You could see the change in his approach. He attacked

Post by **CollegeHockeyAddict** » Fri Oct 04 7:35 pm

Homer runs are always huge but big innings normally involve walks and shoddy defenses. This year's team can hit home runs with the Yankees but can they avoid giving up too many walks and defensive mistakes? You can't hand good team extra outs/runs.

Post by **Slap Shot** » Fri Oct 04 7:38 pm

Only down by 1 folks. Keep this inning the same and then bring around the heart of the order and smack some bombas!!

Post by **Slap Shot** » Fri Oct 04 7:40 pm

Thats a strike!

Post by **Slap Shot** » Fri Oct 04 7:42 pm

Come on Berrios hit the zone my man.

Post by **F Da Sue** » Fri Oct 04 7:42 pm

Why doesn’t the MLB channel have the strike zone overlay on? Is it because MLB owns the channel and doesn’t want to advertise how bad their umpires are at calling balls and strikes?

I was wondering why it isn’t on all the time.

I would say the ump has been pretty good so far.

Post by **The Rube** » Fri Oct 04 7:44 pm

I don't think that was a strike, but I'll take it!

Post by **Slap Shot** » Fri Oct 04 7:45 pm

Good call, that snuck in the corner of the zone!

Post by **Slap Shot** » Fri Oct 04 7:49 pm

You swung at that?

Post by **Slap Shot** » Fri Oct 04 7:51 pm

Post by **The Rube** » Fri Oct 04 7:54 pm

Garver is not on tonight....

Post by **F Da Sue** » Fri Oct 04 7:55 pm

Garver with the hat trick.

Post by **Slap Shot** » Fri Oct 04 7:55 pm

3k not good.

Post by **Greyeagle** » Fri Oct 04 8:01 pm

What a fantastic at bat!

Post by **Slap Shot** » Fri Oct 04 8:01 pm

Post by **Snowcool08** » Fri Oct 04 8:01 pm

Polanco coming up huge tonight so far.

Post by **The Rube** » Fri Oct 04 8:02 pm

That was a great AB, no matter the result.

Post by **frozen4champs** » Fri Oct 04 8:02 pm

Wonder what Clevinger thinks about Jorge tonight.

Post by **00xtremeninja** » Fri Oct 04 8:02 pm

That at bat was a thing of beauty

Post by **F Da Sue** » Fri Oct 04 8:08 pm

I don’t know if my DVR has 100GB available to record a Yankees playoff game.

Post by **Slap Shot** » Fri Oct 04 8:12 pm

Ugh a good pitch to go out on, but hey they tied it up!!

Let's go Twins!!

Post by **The Rube** » Fri Oct 04 8:15 pm

Two walks and a hit batsman loads the bases (no hits). That is just asking for trouble.

Post by **CollegeHockeyAddict** » Fri Oct 04 8:30 pm

Twins NEVER get a close call against the Yankees. That is a pitch Yankee pitchers have gotten against the Twins before. Umps often give a little extra.

Post by **Butters Stotch** » Fri Oct 04 8:31 pm

...and that's ballgame.

Post by **The Rube** » Fri Oct 04 8:31 pm

Post by **Slap Shot** » Fri Oct 04 8:32 pm

Get out of the inning down 2 and they are still in it!

Twins are going to need one of the rookie pitchers to step up. Can't pitch Duffey, Romo, May, Rogers every game.

Can't pitch Stashak at all.

That's my thinking too and why I asked. This will be a big half potentially
