Umpire with a plane to catch.

Duran made sure he didn’t have a clean inning. Took it into his own hands 

[bighat]

Yikes. Old vet McCutcheon up with the tying run on....

I seriously question whether Bremer is back in 2024. BSN contract is up, Bremer is getting older, and his heart clearly isn't in it for 162 games any longer.

Or they do the "home games only" model for a year or two, potentially with road games only from the Central division, etc. 

[ziggy]

the non first baseman cost Duran a chance at his first 1-2-3 inning in over a month.

[Azviking101]

Duran…you’re trying to record an out not drag your foot like Cris Carter on a sideline catch

[Tlaker]

Winner!

Umpire without a clue.  Walking robo ump ad.

[Aggies7]

6 game lead, against all odds

Winner winner chicken dinner!

winnah.

[Mortimerkenny21]

Winner, good!

[AceWrigley]

Dallas Keuchel . .. Shadow Dancer.

[CRF]

Winner, winner...Italian sausage on the grill for dinner. Everyone out there have a good evening!

Friday Blizzard, Sunday Blizzard.

On Saturday, I had two slices of the peach pie made by Mrs. IT. I probably wouldn't have been able to handle a Blizzard anyway. 

At any rate, the Magic Number has hit the freezing point for water!

CC has 110 k’s in 425 AB’s

pat mears had 90 k’s in 517 ABs in 1996

K’s are the least of his offensive issues. His K rate is below league average…one of few on the team that at least can say that.

Baseball is a funny, and glorious game. The best game. A game in which you might see Dallas Keuchel getting the pounding his 85 MPH slop seemingly deserves, then a week later see him take a perfecto into the 7th.

 

A funny, glorious game. The best game.

[MABB1959]

Got the win with 16 strikeouts. Amazing!

[IaBeanCounter]

Majic #32 for Cle and 31 for Det

What will the Lead be when Cleveland  gets here a week from tomm. ?   2 with the Brew, and 4 with Texas, , and Cleveland has 3 with dodgers and 3 with Toronto,  Big week !!!! Who will be in 2nd , Cleve, or Detroit

I can not get excited about this team because of their inability to make contact. It's unwatchable.

What do you do with DK?  3 starts, win loss & ND (Twins win).  I wanted DK to be called up, but after Philly, I'm not sure I want to see him against TX.

I think when Joe Ryan is ready, you offer Keuchel a job pitching for the St. Paul Saints again.

But maybe Keuchel is your #6 starter now, if needed, which is not nothing.
