When you tell somebody somethin', it depends on what part of the country you're standin' in... as to just how dumb you are.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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.

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.

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?

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

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.
