Apple TV guys talking about Hack Wilson. Find a picture of him and you'll see a body reminiscent of #34.

[RickOShea]

Man, we'll take that all series from Ramirez.

[RickOShea]

Naylor does a pretty decent impression of Hack Wilson

Hack Wilson info:  "After leading the NL with 159 RBI in 1929 while powering the Cubs to the NL pennant, Wilson had one of the greatest seasons in big league history in 1930. He launched 56 long balls, a National League record that stood for 68 years, and totaled 191 RBI – still the all-time major league single-season record – with a .356 batting average. In his season of highlights, he also had a .723 slugging percentage, walked 105 times and compiled 423 total bases."

[RickOShea]

Alright Kep, shake it off.  but don't you dare do that again.

[Nine of twelve]

Ball was in the lights.

[OvertheHill]

That’s an error 

[Squirrel]

That’s bogus that was a hit. Can’t believe Kep missed that.

[Richie the Rally Goat]

Oh Kep! Man you gotta move your feet!

[Squirrel]

For those of you who want a Taylor Swift concert update. I can hear stuff, but nothing significant where I can tell what songs are playing. Then again, while I know quite a few of her songs, I don’t know them all

Call it an error for now. Can change it to a hit later if another hit comes for Cleveland.

Still shouldn’t be labeled a hit. Ball in the lights or not, was still an error

[IndianaTwin]

Sat down at the computer, just in time for...

Gladden: "Ground ball to third. Caught!"

Had the same play earlier in the game where you could see him a bit unsure,  Yes a Error

[RickOShea]

Mr Lewis fired a seed to 1st.

[stringer bell]

What a play by Lewis. Too bad it was a fast guy at the plate. 

[mrtwinsfan]

Rolls Royce,   hell of a try

So I caved this time and started the 7-day Apple TV trial so I could watch this game.  I do not want Apple TV except for the Twins games.  Does anybody know how I unsubscribe to this Apple TV service after the game?

They make it a Pain in the arse, trying to remember how ,

I don’t have enough sparkly, fringy clothing to wear. I’ll never fit in.

Want me to bring over some of my Bedazzler supplies? 

[mrtwinsfan]

Muted the volume,   terrible

[stringer bell]

I thought AK was the DH in the original lineup. With Gallo out maybe they wanted to keep the option of moving AK to the OF.

You are correct, he was.

[PDX Twin]

I haven't watched Gameday in a while. (Refuse to pretend that I'm going to pay the fruit monopoly.) I know that the blue and red sections of the strike zone reflect the batter's strong and weak areas, but which is which? Is blue good for the batter or good for the pitcher?

Yeah, these announcers can be annoying and I think they try too hard to be funny.

Live in Bigfork ?  spend alot of hunting time on Deer lake in Effie,

If you click on a blue or red box you should be shown the player's batting average for pitches in that box.

[Nine of twelve]

Naylor just missed that. Fortunately.

[stringer bell]

Bailey is living right. Naylor just got under it.
