Apple TV is utter crap on our Sony TV, works fine everywhere else

Nice throw from McCann. 

Watching it on fairly lousy hotel Wi-Fi on my iPad. But no problems thus far. 

Urias, thank you!

 

[Moshagge3]

Oh man, we have to make this lead Baker-proof.

[Moose Milligan]

Need another run with Baker coming in. 
 

Great bunt. 

[Spy Fox]

Urias hits so many doubles to that RCF gap. Love it. 

Looks like Baker for the 10th. Three lefties scheduled in the next four for Minnesota, would have actually been a nice Cionel spot.

So nice to see the things that went against us for so long finally go our way. Web gems, clutch hitting, actually scoring with risp. 

[dtk9119]

This is why I would have left Cano out there while tied.

Now gasoline Baker coming in..

Baker up in the bullpen. 

[SteveA]

Meanwhile, I turned down the sound on TV and am listening on the radio, but I let Apple keep spinning its wheels and it finally started back up, though it freezes every few seconds.   In this timeline, Felix has just walked a guy in the bottom of the 9th, so I'm about to get to see McCann's throw.

Hicks pinch hitting for Mateo, come on Aaron!

[Hallas]

If you show bunt, pull back, and the infield is drawn in like that, I feel like you should just go up there and swing.  Your BABIP is like .60 higher against a drawn in infield.

Amusing that Bautista pulling the string is a 99-mph FB.

Not amusing that the Twins have a speedster on base now and Bautista is easy to run on. BUT

Great throw by McCann, quick straight-down slap tag by Mateo has us out of the inning.

Doubt they bring Felix in for the 10th considering how stressful that inning was.

Who else though? Hyde has already emptied the clip with Baumann/Cano/Coulombe/Bautista.

Edit: Baker I guess?

Big James is due.

He did his job. Threw out the base stealer, bunted over Urías so that he cd score on Hicks' fly. Love the announcer's comment that if Hicks were still a Yankee he wd have tried to hit a homer and grounded out.

Why is it that every opposing team magically seems to have pitch comm issues when the clock is at :02, and the Orioles never seem to have this problem?

[Dunk35]

These pitch com issues come at suspicious moments

[Chavez Ravine]

Hicks!!

[justD]

Love hearing Dontrelle talk about tightening that up about the pitch comm haha
