We'll see how Mahle's next start goes against the Yankees.

I wish we should use guys like Pagan when we are down 3+ runs.  Save the best part of the bullpen when it's closer or we are ahead.

Is Alcala considered the best part of the bullpen?

****** AB after ****** AB. I cannot catch a break.

****** = quality? Nope, too many letters. 

Solid? No that's not it.

Productive? Nope.

Ok, I give.

Apparently not if Rocco uses him to get hitters 7-8-9 out.

Use Pagan and Sands here.

Diaz, gets a single.  At first, he looks up to the sky and spreads his arms.  Is he thanking God, or thinking "only a single"?

Yes

[Vanimal46]

If your name is Chas there’s a strong chance he has 5 pairs of sperrys in his closet at all time. 

[SwainZag]

It would be nice if the bats would wake up

God bless her, but the young lady struggled through that version of GBA.

Darn, you're a tough audience.  But you are right.  Brutal, just brutal.  (I'm kidding)

[SwainZag]

Pena is a damn good young SS

[mnfireman]

So Ryan gives up 4 yesterday and he is still the savior and the favorite of the TD posters, Mahle gives up 4 today and he's the pariah, the trade was horrible and the hate flows freely from TD. The thought process on here amazes most days.

Didn't bring her best stuff.  Gutted it out.  Kept the crowd in the game, that's all you can ask.

Gotta say, so far at least, I'm putting Pagan above Alcala on my list of relievers. 

[Vanimal46]

The man, the myth, the legend Pagan is warming up. 

[SanoMustGo]

Cleveland ties up Seattle, they will win the division anyway.  So all this is moot.  Peace Out...for good,

[cHawk]

Why is Alcala still in this game?

[USAFChief]

Donnie Barrels perhaps made a couple suboptimal choices there. 

[IndyTwinsFan]

Methinks Houston scores multiple runs here and basically ends the game.

Nothing like throwing in the towel on April 9th.

[SwainZag]

Well....that was something.
