Way to go LaMonte!!!!!!!! #1 & #286!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Nine of twelve]

I would guess that Francona is being second-guessed by Cleveland fans for not pulling Bieber sooner. He obviously wasn't his usual self.

He likes to ride him and Clevinger, but that was horrible management leaving him in that long.

Congratulations to Lamonte Wade Jr. First big league homer, at a great time. 

 

Skol Twinkies!

it doesn’t look like Cleveland has a bunch of quality relievers available.

[MMMordabito]

That's awesome! Wade gets his first big knock in a huge situation.

[Bomba2026]

Our C lineup is doing good today! Bye Biebs, go chat with Clevinger about how the wind blew all 3 homeruns out today....

[John Kelsey]

Romero?

[MNT1996]

Wow nasty pitch. If Romero plays up to his potential this pitching staff is even more special.

[stringer bell]

Nice first at-bat (against) for Romero.

[John Kelsey]

More poor defense from Eddie. 

[Blake]

LaMont Wade goes deep.

 

Just as Baldelli expected.

[stringer bell]

Yes, Eddie can overrun balls in left and right.

[70charger]

Eddie looks awkward out there.

[John Kelsey]

I'd pull him right now. 

[h2oface]

I just don't get it. Romero with a great chance to win and sweep and bury Cleveland? And Baldelli is still managing this game like it is spring training and not a pennant race. Makes no sense whatsoever.

[John Kelsey]

Why the hell is Astudillo catching and Romero pitching right now?

[stringer bell]

C'mon Romero!

[bighat]

I agree with you. If Cleveland's up 9-2 right now, you let Romero pitch.

 

But a playoff ticket is on the line. What are you doing, Rocco?

[FLTwinsGuy]

Omfg

[Bomba2026]

I would have left the Dobber out there....We need to win this and Rocco finally realized his mistake, hopefully not too late

[h2oface]

This is time to go for the throat. It was bad enough to start this game like it didn't matter. This just blows my mind...... and now Gibson in relief? WT.......

[Squirrel]

Wade, Astudillo and Torreyes...automatic outs.

Yeah.

[jimbo92107]

Man, Romero really needs to break his motion down to the basics. It's all out of whack. Can he do it during the season?

[twins_89]

I feel kinda bad for Romero, the defense has totally failed him. Rosario misplayed a catch-able ball and now a Schoop error.

[70charger]

Well, ****.

[Squirrel]

sigh

[hybridbear]

Why the heck is Gibson in there?

[h2oface]

Yup. Baldelli has lost it. Worst job of managing a game all season, and there have been many very questionable tactics and decisions. And such a very important game. Unbelievable.
