Farmer was two feet from putting the coffin nail on Cleveland’s season. Brilliant pinch hit there by Baldelli.  A masterclass in managing.  The Wallner move was absolutely awful though, fire him.

How is Lewis supposed to hit a first inning GS hitting third?

I'd settle for one more than Cleveland.  (But 15-0 would be more fun.)

MOves I loved and didnt love.

Loved Rocco letting Sonny stay in there in the jam. You dont want to bring in relievers with traffic and you have to trust your vets. Great.

Farmer pinch hitting. 1 guy on in a tie game, Farmer handles righties well enough for later and is a D upgrade. Great move. Unfortunately Jorge failed for the rare time.

IMO an awful move is using Luplow with no one on in the 6th. He did it Sunday too I believe when stevenson was already playing. Youre down 1 and basically playing for a 6th inning Luplow homer. You know that spot comes up again and they will throw righties. Heck Clevland only has 1 other lefty and he pitched yesterday. Let Wallner bat. He hits them in AAA and has run into a few up here. Trust the better bat. No one on and the 6th inning is insane for Jordan Luplow.

Francona knew what Rocco was gonna do and brought in his lefty early to get some of our bats out. Its so predictable. Like I said, the Farmer move was smart though. We tied it and had a guy on and hes versatile and good defensively.

Little league managers knew what the response to Rocco's move would be.

A little over 20,000 in paid attendance tonite in Cleveland.  That's ridiculous and embarrassing.

I think they topped out back in the mid 90s.

Seems a smidge on the low side for a playoff race game.

TBH I dont think the Luplow move is even defensible. That was bad.

And just found out Hentges actually pitched 3 days in a row. So they clearly only have righties left to use.

Burned Wallner in the 6th with no one on base when Wallner has immense power. Incredible.

That was Bremer's count.  It must be correct, He and Smalley both had their shoes and socks off.

How many human teeth are in attendance? 150,000 maybe? I feel like half the people I have seen in Cleveland and Detroit have 75% of their smile missing.

The rest of their teeth are in their pocket.

Larry David to manage Cleveland next year.

I'm in for this. Just for the post game interviews. You don't like how I manage? What's wrong with the way I manage?

Joey Gallo, the world’s largest pinch runner. 

A catcher would probably flinch on a bang bang play. 😂

I am not convinced that Vazquez scores on that sac fly. Good move by Rocco

Good point, but I think it’s the overall pattern. Why not just sub guys when it’s necessary like right there?
