No problems...Dick and Roy on BSN. 

I find Roy's broadcasts problematic.  Least fav of the rotation.

2 nice catches,---- could of been 2-0  score

its his last for the year today,   i got the Cleveland guys on for a few innings

"Light rain falling." 

It dumped pretty good for a little while in northern Indiana this morning. If it's the same stuff, we'll have a reasonably short delay. Decision to call up Varland could be prescient.

I plan on watching Mets broadcast guys over the weekend.  Tonight too.

Ryan doesn't appear to be on the top of his game today.

Looking at the radar Progressive Field may catch just a minimal trace of precipitation. Doubt the game will pause.

Ryan looks pretty pedestrian today. Can't put anyone away, almost no swings and misses, velo down. 

[IaBeanCounter]

Cle making Ryan throw a lot of pitches.  He will be lucky to get thru 4.

No, but at least he limited any damage to one run … hopefully he comes out next inning sharper

[CRF]

Ryan's pitch count is going up real fast. Might be time to sing Louie, Louie today?

[Twins_Fan_in_NJ]

Gimenez. Another annoying one.

[USAFChief]

I'm looking for a used car. May check out an ad I saw today..."Used DeLorean. Clean, low mileage, only driven a couple different times."

[Parfigliano]

SB time Julien

[GusGus11]

Guardians young pitchers are the luckiest pitchers on the planet.

[Road trip]

Tough AB there for Lewis.  Strike 2 wasn't a strike, but it forced him to swing at the next pitch, also borderline.  He managed a liner, but right at the pitcher.

[IndianaTwin]

I spent the morning reorganizing some of my books, until the bookcase collapsed and fell on me. 

I have only my shelf to blame. 

[Twins_Fan_in_NJ]

Guardians the luckiest team alive.

Jinxes don’t apply only to the game itself.

I just discovered the problem. It was actually because of my pet termite, Clint. 

Clint eats wood.

When teams have good defenders, they tend to turn hits into outs. Cleveland has done it over and over in this series. So I don't think Cleveland pitchers are "lucky" Yeah they're lucky to have those guys on their team.

[IndianaTwin]

If the delay is long enough to end the starts, advantage Twins. Williams is looking sharp -- I'd be glad to see him lifted.

Hopefully TC hard hit balls start to find grass like last night

[Twins_Fan_in_NJ]

Last night wasn't necessarily about great defense although Kwan made a nice play on Correa's line. Twins crushed the ball early on and the balls happened to find gloves.

I didn't know that Dick was a meteorologist too.

Apparently he, like me, is not.
