one more hit would have been nice. would like to see a 1-2-3 inning from Gibby. starts out with pitcher, so please get him out, and prevent facing yelich this inning

double switch. and at least they got a hit with the bases loaded. they've been poor in that situation all year.

[boxter432]

just can't get a 1-2-3 inning and has to face yelich with a guy on base again.

[Da Gas Man]

Don't throw a strike. If he walks, fine.

[weimy froob]

he's done a good job against yelich today.

[Da Gas Man]

The score is pretty good but it doesn't feel like he has pitched that great overall. And yet, he has only surrendered two runs. Of course, we are only through 4 innings of Gibby. It feels longer which probably says something.

[boxter432]

shift strikes again.

eric thames 3/3 when all he can do is hit homers

[weimy froob]

another two out hit with a runner in scoring position. polanco almost had it-but it's an rbi.

[Da Gas Man]

I realize that that would have been a great play by Polanco but how many runs have scored with two outs because of a ball off the glove of Polanco.

[Da Gas Man]

He made it through 5. A struggle every inning. But he made it through. With 92 pitches and being up this inning, I presume that he won't come out again. Can the bullpen hold 4 innings? Answer: No. They better put up some more runs.

he's done, Ehire pinch hit.
I'm not going to celebrate 5 innings 3 runs, still not good enough, but at least its a lead.

Bos still 5-1 heading to bottom 9

[Jimtown guy]

Indians down to their last 3 outs still down 5-1

[Jimtown guy]

Stand up triple

[weimy froob]

adrienza 6-6 with a triple right there. he's hot.

[Jimtown guy]

That sucked

[weimy froob]

wanted that run there.

[boxter432]

man can we just hit a sac fly plllleaaaase lol

[weimy froob]

indians lose. there's some good news.

[weimy froob]

dyson in the sixth.

[boxter432]

dyson in the sixth.

man it feels like this should be the 8th. so many pitches for both sides
and dyson already in double digits on first at bat. a K though

[Jimtown guy]

indians lose. there's some good news.

[salamander]

indians lose. there's some good news.

Nice.

[Da Gas Man]

Is this game ridiculously slow?

[Da Gas Man]

Does May have this need to get the strikeout by curveball? Because his curveball is staying up and that is when things go wrong.

[Slim Shady]

Trev-Dog

[Da Gas Man]

If May can be good May 4 out of 5 times, Dyson pitches well, and Romo continues, that's not so bad. Presuming they can find a way to not overuse Rogers and keep him fresh, that is a passable bullpen. Not great and no great arms but it's passable.

[Da Gas Man]

Marvin might have chased that one a little.

[Da Gas Man]

dyson in the sixth.

I just noticed that you are in the post count lead and you are likely to be the first one to clear 20K. Congrats!!! And even more impressive considering that you post quality stuff.
