Close play at home, could have gone either way. Glad they called him out,

Agreed, if we're just gonna shrug and default to the call on the field then save us the 5 minute stoppage.

The problem in this case is the rule. There wasn’t clear evidence he missed the tag, which is what’s required to overturn a call.

The call on the field should not be factored into the replay. The rule should be changed.

He looks safe but the evidence is far from conclusive. 

Expand  

Agreed, it’s possible he got him, but if they called him safe that call would stand also

Okay, so it's happening on your phone? Does it ever happen on desktop?

I have seen it both on my ipad and iphone. i only check it in on a windows machine every other week, and i think it had been set up with some form of ad block anyway, so i wouldn't notice it on the desk top proper.

Got back from a retired guy job presentation, all good for another Twins win here!

Agreed, if replay only corrects for egregiously bungled calls we're better off without it interrupting game flow.

Just getting in from the gym. Doesn't look like I've missed anything.

[MMMordabito]

Keep it up, Bundy!  More games than days coming up, so the bullpen needs long starts.

Come on it's a good game and a nailbiter win.... again!

 

[MMMordabito]

HELLO!!!

It was only a matter of time before Larnach did that.

[Mill1634]

LARNACH LAUNCHED!

[Brock Test Account]

Wow, he destroyed that ball.

[stringer bell]

If you hit it well, it still goes out. 

[CRF]

Bout time we see that from Larnach! Very nice!

[wsnydes]

LARNACH!

DON'T SPEAK TO ME 

[CRF]

I can see Archer as a broadcaster when his playing career is done. He's got a good speaking voice and is very articulate. I was impressed. 

[stringer bell]

Listening to Archer—he’s cool, mellow and thoughtful. Not what you picture when he’s on the mound. 

[TouchEmAllGuy]

I changed the YouTube audio to the home feed which has Cory and Dan linked to the video. Pretty cool feature! 

[MMMordabito]

Grandma looks stoked to be there.

I usually watch the games via Stream East and it gives you a home/away option depending on where your team is playing. That way you can get your home team broadcasters. (If you want to listen to your home team broadcasters. ?)

Archer has an interesting backstory about growing up with his grandparents. (There's a little bit of language in the clip)

Tone it down!  Don't want to get reported!

Have we reached the "Bundy is horrible, we never should have signed him" part of the game? 

[Craig Arko]

These YouTube broadcasters are the Tiger's announcers, I take it?
