Start your career with a K

 

Atta Boy

[DocBauer]

Sorry..but that looked NASTY!

[yarnivek1972]

Not sure he has a pitch to get lefties out.

[Jerr]

 

LOL

 

No... She tried... It's a Caramel Crunch type thing but it the Target Market Pantry variety and I don't think those guys try very hard based on the end result. 

So, maybe ask for that liverwurst flavored one  next time...ohhh wait...seems you didn't get to ask what for your choice,  she made that decision................oops...nevermind.....

 

Don't let her see this..."0 warning points"  is something to be cherished, like a GOOD ice cream 

[Bark's Lounge]

Geez, where the hell have I been? Hildenberger's been called up?

[Riverbrian]

 

 

He's got to bring the fastball down but that change is good. 

[Jerr]

 

It's coming

[Riverbrian]

Be very careful here Hildy

[Respy]

Backfoot slider?  Just speculation.

[Riverbrian]

A Shut Out

 

Someone be Chief

[Jerr]

Our new closer, no drama  

[PDX Twin]

How many more letters could they fit on the back of Hildenberger's shirt? If he had a hyphenated last name?

[DocBauer]

That was fun!

[drjim]

I'm actually pretty stunned Molitor went with Hildenberger here.

[Craig Arko]

Our new closer, no drama  

Oh, the humanity!

I think I see why Hildenberger got the call. That change-up is going to embarrass a lot of major league batters. I hope he throws a million of them.

 

Way to set 'em down, Trevor!

But it worked just fine, so brilliant.

[Jerr]

Cleveland has only been shut out twice this year...by OUR MINNESOTA TWINS!!!!

Trevor on the radio now!!!!!

[Riverbrian]

Welcome to the big leagues Trever Hildenberger. 

 

Go give your Mom a hug

[Respy]

Hildenberger-Mientkiewicz-Lombardozzi

[DocBauer]

Seriously, overall, despite some injuries and deficiencies, we have a good team here. Why in hell can't we play better at home?

Winnah!

His fastball has some nice back up to it. 

 

Hopefully he can backdoor some right handed hitters with it. 

 

He's got another version of the fastball that doesn't for a little trickery. 

 

He's gotta get it down tho. 

 

I vote we keep him for awhile and see how he does. 

[Respy]

 

 

My Magic 8-ball says: Indians win 11-6.

 

 

 

Nailed it.

Exactly. I was hoping Mauer said that to him. "Keep it knee high or lower, kid." 

[LaBombo]

 

Geez, where the hell have I been? Hildenberger's been called up?

 

The important thing is that you found out before he's sent back down.

 

Dillon Gee is gonna come up and then disappear in the span of a week, and then this conversation will happen:

 

Fan 1: "The last long reliever, that guy from the Mets or something, who they already DFA'd... not a very exciting pickup, was he?"

 

Fan 2: "Gee."

 

Fan 1: " Exactly".

Wonderful. I was going to use that. 

 

Now I gotta come up with a new Joe M Conversation for Monday. 

[DocBauer]

Gee has the potential to surprise, at least. (Crossing fingers and toes, eyes, whatever)
