Sure, you can actually watch the game. Rub it in, why don'tcha??

Oh crap, forgot! 

since it was probably Gladden on the call, here is what happened: Naylor went into foul territory to field a hard grounder/ one hopper, and with his momentum carrying him away he turned and threw an off balance overhand football throw to the pitcher covering first

I have been to Progressive Field, and it's OK. But for any major league venue built after Camden Yards OK is not a compliment.

Been there too about 20 years ago.  Liked it then.  Houston is a dump.  No personality.

WTF?  I paid for another year of mlb.tv, and no game?  Apple TV?  I don't want another 'free trial' bombarding my email.

I just went to the app, clicked in and am watching. Didn’t sign up for a trial or anything.

You can always watch on the radio!

[Squirrel]

How is that scored … 1-3-2?

App on my iPad. And no, do not have Apple TV, but went to the app, clicked on sports, Friday night games, then clicked on the game I wanted

Yeh, I don't live the "i-life," so no ipad, no app to click.  And I don't want yet another one.

Mr Ober thanks you Ramirez,  

[Parfigliano]

Im relying on the commentary here for the game.  Its like being there.

My guess is that no station carries the game where he lives.

Then you have Apple/Tv or app.  It's the only source for tonight's game.  I didn't do anything either, because my daughter had downloaded the Apple tv app, quite some time ago.

Justice, Ober made a great pitch, but Gonzalez hit a really high chopper that he beat out. Ramirez tried to score from second, but was a dead duck when Donnie Barrels made a really good throw to the plate.

For those unable to watch.

The Apple camera caught Correa hugging Ober on their way off the field :)

Now that is unfortunate.

I think.

[Mortimerkenny21]

Props to B. Ober! 7 clean innings 90 pitches. Gotta love it. He doesn't go 7 too often. Now get your boys to get some re-assurance runs! Booo Spiders!!

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

I don’t know. Cleveland is not as good this year, and the bottom half of their lineup is a ghost town. I would let Ober pitch the 8th.

Super nice play, in that it was a huge hop, and Ober did not panic or rush the throw. 

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Oh and have we talked about how bad the Cleveland bullpen is this year…

Which is free, if I recall correctly.  

[stringer bell]

I have to believe that's it for Ober. Really nice outing for him when the offense is sputtering.

If you have mlb.tv you have mlb radio 

[Squirrel]

Nice running by Taylor, and nice not running on that short fly

[Aggies7]

Another run would be helpful

[cHawk]

What if I told you that, coming into today, our starting rotation leads the league in WAR?

We have very different definitions of "joy"!

[Aggies7]

Ugh Nevermind 

[Squirrel]

Okay, bad running now. Ugh and ****

[stringer bell]

Contact play didn't work.
