Way to go, Jake!!!

 

Call me crazy, but I'd send him out there for the 7th. He's got 9-1-2 coming up and he's owned all 3 of those guys, especially Acuna. Don't be a slave to the pitch count, he's still got the velocity.

lol, yeah, he’s done for the night

If Kepler isn’t an MVP candidate, that means there’s only one candidate.

Not sure about that... Trout is obviously going to be the MVP. Kepler isn't top 10 in OPS and isn't in the top 10 position player WAR (according to BBref). He should get some votes, at the very least.

Try imagine you are golfing, it's a 200 yard par 3. Standing in the tee box, picking up the golf ball, throwing the ball into the hole. 

 

That would be a 600-foot toss.  That's called a howitzer.

Nice outing by Jake, admittedly I didn't see 6 innings of 1-run ball coming after the first couple innings, don't think many of us did.

 

Should be a good test for the bullpen. Have to assume Romo's unavailable. Harper, May, Rogers is the plan here?

Half this board was pulling him after 4....in the 2nd inning, despite zero solid contact. It was pretty funny actually.

Ramirez with a lead off double for Cleveland in the bottom of the 9th.

 

Texas challenging it for being (barely) foul.

New York blew it on that review.

Try to imagine you are at Marshall County Fair. 

 

The Marshall County Dairy Princess is in the dunking booth. 

 

You dunk her from the tilt-o-wheel.

You are a Dr. Seuss!!! 

... which rhymes with juice, which is what Kepler applied to that baseball.

I didn't think Odorizzi would make it through 5, let alone 6.

 

Good job, Mr. Odorizzi!

Indians sacrified the runner to third, for the first out. Kipnis grounded out weakly, for out #2. Fingers still crossed...

 

/ ninja'd a bit, but hopefully some worthwhile detail contained...

I presume not many NL players will be getting AL MVP votes, so he’s top 10.

 

And good luck to Moncada getting votes on a losing team or any Red Sox getting votes on an underachieving team.
