For those unable to see the game, Farmer was a dead duck with a good throw, but Wisdom's throw wasn't very good and Gomes didn't hold the ball. Castro's double was hard-hit, but less than a foot inside the line.

I think you should replace Dazzle! Good job 

[stringer bell]

Smyly now charged with two earned runs. That is a true injustice. 

[Robert Floren]

Gray sharp again.  And looks like a good sized crowd in the stadium.

0/24

2-0. Even better!

Call me crazy, but I have an idea for what could be even better.

I’ve got wallpaper that would be better.

Mr. Buxton, Please tell Rocco this D.H. Deal is not good for Me- the Team,  You have my okay !!!!

[IndianaTwin]

Carlos is regressing!

[stringer bell]

Correa's double bounced into the bullpen, and the center fielder wasn't even in the picture when the ball bounced over the fence. They are shading him well into right-center with the CF.

[stringer bell]

First close pitch that Gray didn't get a call.

Thought Vasquez over did it, to much moving it

[IndianaTwin]

On Cubs radio, Ron Coomer just talked about being at the 19-12 Rod Carew game on June 26, 1977. I remember the date, because I was there too.

Progress.

[IndianaTwin]

Sounds like Suzuki really rode that line drive. 

[Squirrel]

Glad Gray kept it to one run

[stringer bell]

No Ks this inning. Gray limited the damage. Key play was the line drive to Gordon, who threw to the proper base and kept the tying run off third. 

[mrtwinsfan]

Gallo  - at 1b  would of been a out, Kiroloff ?  Solano at this time with this roster has zero beeswax at 1b,  

[rwilfong86]

And Castro strikes out on a pitch clock violation. Has to be smarter than that.

His days are probably numbered.

[IndianaTwin]

Castro with the strikeout not looking.

His days were numbered when he was signed. He’s a stop gap. Always was.

[IndianaTwin]

Wasn’t too smart of Wisdom to get in the way of that one.

I think the same thing about Castro, but Castro has more positional flexibility and minor league options and is like 10 years younger.

Well, and Castro has an option so he can be sent down, but yeah, also stop gap

[stringer bell]

Apple TV announcers said only one Twin has won the ERA crown (Johan). They are forgetting Allan Anderson.

Like the guy,  just think Mr Baldelli  Plays around with the lineup to much , when a lefty starts,

Can’t believe I’m about to say this, but this game seems slow tonight

[stringer bell]

I haven't complained about Apple TV+, but the video has been choppy. So, there you have it.

Really nice throw by Vazquez, on a pitch that he short-hopped.
