    That's gonna be a rough OF defensive alignment for the Dallas. All three guys playing out of position.

    Teo's been killing it in Fresno, let's hope he keeps it up.

    Luckily he's not a fascist, and throws a lot of ground balls.

    Let's hope some of those ground balls make it up into the strike zone.

    Not sure if you are implying that he should cause boomerang grounders that rebound back to the catcher or that you want him to throw more strikes essentially giving Indian hitters batting practice.

    No, just low strikes instead of grounders but if they wanna have batting practice on rebounding pitches then I'm for that too.

    You understand that a "grounder" is not a pitch that bounces in the dirt, correct?? It's a ball that's been hit on the ground......not a fly ball. We do NOT want Keuchel throwing strikes up in the zone. We want him to throw pitches that induce "grounders."

    Tough series, Indians are the best team in the AL by my money. Hope to get 2 out of 3 but 1 would be fine.

    This home plate ump is already absolute garbage.

    Let's see how well the ump calls the strike zone on Dallas.

    Hope Altuve's K-BB ratio last season wasn't a fluke. Power too.

    The outs AFTER reaching safely though..... still there, always there.

    Will be interesting to see if Encarnacion picks up his play. Kind of glad we steered clear of EE.

    I forgot he was even a person, and I was fully behind trying to attain him during the offseason. Seems to have fallen off in just a matter of weeks.

    Hoping second time through the lineup we start lighting Tomlin up. He is not good no matter how you slice it, if we don't tag him for 4+ runs I'd be disappointed.
