[stringer bell]

Charge Correa with a bunch of errors. They always get a double play on the next play.

Which part?

The ump huddle, then the meeting with Rocco, etc

 Not really what we needed after 13 innings yesterday. 

Which is probably why he's going to stay in a bit as long as its not getting away entirely.  I dont think he's going anywhere tonight until he gets to 80+ pitches.

This is not the start we needed from Maeda.  . .

Tom Hamilton just said the same thing in Cleve radio booth re: Curry,

3 rooks as starters and BP is gassed.

How is that an error on Correa? Official scoring is mind boggling sometimes. 

[rwilfong86]

2 pitches 2 outs. Not ideal.

[rwilfong86]

Wallner !

The E was on Lewis

Good to hear the other team’s perspective. 

[stringer bell]

Mr. Bremer is exaggerating the error call on Correa (now changed to Lewis). If Correa just comes down, he gets the force, but he tried to do too much. Lewis made a bad throw and we've seen Correa be very adroit on double play pivots, but he got greedy.

They changed it, it was originally on Correa.  Holy smokes Wallner. 

[mrtwinsfan]

Agreed.  We need the innings pitched as much as anything. 

Getting one back, thus far, helps a lot.

Raw power and against a LHP.

But it also looked like he touched? Why no replay?

[stringer bell]

Wallner is a better (on offense) Joey Gallo.

Agreed.  This is where you ride a veteran and hope he figures it out enough to at least keep you in the game.

[wsnydes]

Wallner should make contact more often.  The ball tends to stay hit when he does.

But he's definitely testing our patience here.

We waited too long to decide, for whatever the reason.

Kenta,    No more middle of the plate please

[Danchat]

Holy cow, what a game so far… maybe it was the right move to not fire our hitting coach?

He's keeping them in the game though!

Too late.

[Parfigliano]

Nice thing about CLE is they make alot of contact.  Pitch on outer half the try to go opposite field.  They aren't pull happy like TC.

[CRF]

Unfortunately, we're gonna need to get Kenta out of there. 

[mrtwinsfan]

Need a Winder-  , Get Maeda out after the 4th Rocco    Maeda the way he needs to pitch and this umpire are not a good match

[GusGus11]

Ok no more Maeda. You got 4 out of him. Time for the pen.

Hes throwing BP out there. No cheap hits.

Maybe Winder can go 2-3    looked good last time

Royce, a blast and a bloop.
