Friday, July 7: Orioles at Twins, televised exclusively by AppleTV+

[LA2]

Still SMH on that interference call. UTTERLY ABSURD. One of the most ridiculous calls I've ever seen.

How do they decide which calls are reviewable or not?

Lucky as ****. 

That ball wasn't going out of the yard. The announcer deked everyone.

Apple stream is an utter piece of shit.   Has been dropping out and freezing all night, I've had to get out and get back in again during commercials so I won't fall minutes behind.   Finally it's gotten so bad I can't even reload it.   Worhtless garbage, I might not wait the 3 months to cancel my 3 month free trial if they can't even stream a game.

Switched to radio.

How close was that foul ball to being a HR?

Are you sure it's not your device/internet connection? Has been flawless for me, less lag than MLB.TV.

Several feet foul but didn't even have the distance

Short and quite a bit to the right of fair.

Not straight enough or long enough. I’m not even sure if it would have hit the fence.

My stream here in NYC has been fine. Sorry to hear yours hasn't. Ultimately it wasn't close at all--it was loud and high off the bat fooling the announcers and crowd.

I don't have these problems streaming MLB TV every night.

I don't have these problems streaming Amazon Prime Video almost daily.

I don't have these problems streaming ESPN+.

So if my TV connection to my wifi is the problem, it only affects AppleTV.

OK, Kevin Brown made it sound pretty scary.

If it stayed fair the inning would be over. It wouldn't have hit the fence, it landed well before it in the stands.

[Moshagge3]

Walk is as good as a double.

[Billy F-Face3]

McCann can gun down some tunners!

Last night when Urias committed an error should have been an indicator that the Urias at 1B experiment wasn't going to work. Yet, he marched him out there again and put the actual 1st basemen at DH. 

Like I said in the lineup thread, they could have put OHearn at 1B and then taken their pick if Henderson, Urias, or Westburg as the DH. Another option is to not even play Mateo in the same lineup we have to play McCann.

I think it's a good idea to have played Urias at 3B and Gunnar at SS. 

And if you really think O'Hearn is so bad against LHP, you could always slide Santander defensively into the spot at that point in the game. Hicks would be my preference but if he's not available they still have Frazier who can play RF or LF in the defensive realignment the pinch hit forces. 

Ok so you wanted O’Hearn to face a lefty. And you don’t like Urias’ defense at first base but you think Santander is some sort of 1B whiz.
