Man, that Thielbar curveball looks like it doesn't leave his hand until the end of his throwing motion.

I completely understand baseball has changed a lot in recent years. Imagine telling the bulldog starting pitchers of yesteryear like Maddux, Pedro, Clemens, and Randy Johnson we're gonna take you out after 8 innings of 1 hit shutout ball. They would strangle you with making such a stupid decison. 

But for today it’s the right call.

Well rested top of the pen for the showdown in Queens!

They would just say, "Im not coming out.  Get back in the dugout."

I heard he even talks in his sleep.

Cleveland wins 2 out of 3 at Philly.. unlike Twins they didn’t face Sanchez, Wheeler or Nola.

It could have been a lot worse. This is encouraging news!

That's a Miracle. That helmet could have saved his life, honestly. I hope Faedo thinks carefully about his approach.

[Vanimal46]

Have a good rest of your Sunday, y'all!

TC faced those 3 and took 2 out of 3.

That 9th inning by Thielbar had to be a huge blow to Ober’s confidence.

Without Lewis, Correa, and Miranda by the way.

Bryce Harper after facing him in the spring.

I was just looking over this outing with Statcast and Bailey only averaged 91.3 with his fastball. Guess he can be a nightmare at that velocity too. Doesn't hurt that his changeup averaged 83 for a more than 8mph difference. The changeup was killer today.

Just messing with you...high praise from Bryce.

Hopefully he keeps this run going!!

Just quickly scanning through the game thread.  Looking forward to the full TD game recap of this disappointing 5-0 loss.

Bases loaded; no outs followed by three strikeouts.   The last two on full counts with a swinging strike on balls outside the zone.   Just terrible.

Was hidden among all the good events today. But yeah I noticed..

The Twins will have to take care of business themselves. If they win six or seven of the eight with the Guards, they'll win the Central. They are behind because they are 0-5 vs. Cleveland.
