I think just a brain fart by Jeffers….gotta know you have two remaining…gotta do it right away, blah blah. 

Not the first brain fart tonight

[Western SD Fan]

The radio guys suggested that Jeffers talked to the home plate umpire asking whether it was a called strike or on the swing.  He likely didn't challenge if was called out on the check swing.

[Patzky]

Think he's had enough.

Makes sense.

Jeffers is so good about that.. was certainly worth a shot there.

He only seems to use them while catching, and not batting. 

[Patzky]

This won't end well. It needs to be done and Orze is the logical choice, but it's Cleveland and it won't end well.

[Twindy]

If you’re gonna pitch Kwan outside like that, then you need to play closer to the line in left. Martin was straight away.

[Church of Kreidler]

Oh, that Martin play was almost AMAZING

Total guess. Plate ump didn’t even get help. No indication of that and it didn’t look like a swing.

He actually challenged a pitch when hitting yesterday and they said he was successful 4 of 6 times when challenging as a hitter.

earlier in the game he did and Kwan hit it there ,  why not this time  idk?

[jkcarew]

We need to teach Funderburk how to play right field so he can catch his breath and we can use him again later. Has been one guy that’s doing decently. 
 

Edit: I’m joking. Mostly.

[Patzky]

Jose can you see. Who else?

[Twindy]

And of course, Ramirez hits a pitch a foot outside through the six hole

[HarmonK03]

Why pitch to Ramirez in that situation, make Hoskins beat you.

[h2oface]

Of course Orze allows inherited runner to score. Twins pen. Totally expected.

Well it was an unhittable ball

Was it?

Martin is getting better and better. 

[stringer bell]

I wonder if this bullpen will set an all-time record for the lowest number of inherited runners stranded.

You're new to Devil Magic at this field aren't you. 😁 If the interference and the Jeffers K didn't doom us something else will.

[Church of Kreidler]

Martin, I forgive you for the first one.

Ramirez is such a professional hitter ...

I keep saying , we need hitters that can take the pitch to the opposite field  , Lee,  jeffers and Keaschall  have done it here and there ...

[Patzky]

When Lee is on, I have liked his approach because he is willing to take the ball the other way and take what the pitcher gives him.  Of course, he needs to do that for a lot longer to develop a reputation for it.
