Post game notes -
………………….
Gardenhire post game interview – “how about that Punto? He is really coming around. We figure if we keep giving him at bats and keeping him in the lineup every single game; come December or January his hitting should really be starting to come around.”
………………………….
The Fox Sportsnet North talking heads, Coomer and Anthony LaPanta, talked about the Cleveland Indians starting pitcher. Paul Byrd has beaten the Minnesota Twins four times this year. Asked for the secret to his success in keeping the Twins from hitting and scoring Byrd said, “See this piece of string? I keep it just for the Twins. I stretch it out on the ground, the Twins hitters’ eyes lock on it and their bats point at the ground. Then they mostly hit ground balls for outs, for double plays and yes, even for triple plays.”
The triple play turned by the Indians in the seventh inning was Cleveland's first triple play at home since June 7, 1976 – which was also against the Twins.
La Panta asked Byrd how he came up with his Twins hypnotic technique. Byrd referred La Panta to the Wikipedia articles on chicken hypnotism. Byrd just used a natural talent and expanded it to Twins batter control.
