    “first pitch Jose” today, couldn’t get Jake over and then of course Yuli would’ve drove him in

    I see its a cold day in Cleveland.

    Cold bats that is.

    Even in August, this can happen. Or not :)

    Leadoff double squandered by the top of the order. Nice.

    Altuve last two at bats, 2 pitches 2 outs. I wish in those situations he would temper himself and get something he can move the runner over with instead of hacking

    His 3.88 era says otherwise.

    On the never popular glass half full view, I sure like how our young pitchers, when they get blowin up for 3 or 4 runs in the second (it's always the second) seem to always tough it out and put up four zeroes afterward. Of course we always leave them in for the seventh and that doesn't always work out.

    Par the course. Score 9 runs, only natural won't score any next game. Win tomorrow should be fine.

    Yeah... the guy slashing this on the first pitch shouldn't swing at the first pitch...

    This long stretch of games without a day off seems to have caught up to them.

    Naaah...maybe not so much that?

    I like the way you think, though.

    It was my wife's idea, but I liked the visual.

    I never said he shouldn’t swing on first pitches I just wish he had some restraint in situations like that. I’m well aware of his first pitch success but Quantrill is aware also and is nibbling that slider and he’s biting. There probably is no right answer I’d just prefer he get the runner over there

    They got Gimenez and Rosario in the Lindor deal? That's one of the great all-time trades.
