Gotta catch that, Luke.

[Twindy]

Well, Martin caused Luke to drop that ball. He should’ve got the hell out of the way assuming Luke was calling it. Seemed like Luke thought he was gonna crash into him.

Bell MARKET:

Pirates …….. O’Neil Cruz went to the 60 day IL. Bell & Roden for a middle of their PEN guy. 🤞

You don't increase any market value that might be there for Bell by playing him in the field. 

[h2oface]

No problem hitting Paredes. Horrible time to use a challenge. No significant benefit even if won. Silly.

Conversely, I think we want Jeffers in the lineup as much as possible.

[h2oface]

Struck him out, anyway. Makes the wasted challenge even more worthless.

100% - could of been caught , but Martins route was all wrong - tough play !  its what happens when everyone plays everywhere

I can’t read minds, myself. That’s quite a talent. 
Replay showed it in his glove and popping out, regardless. Keaschall just missed that one. But hey, charity scorekeeper called it a triple.

Who had three consecutive K's from Paredes on their Twingo card?

[Patzky]

Nice recovery. Game highlight so far 

[h2oface]

Paredes! Awesome save of that inning. Impressive!

Bailey Ober approves this message.

Bell is going to cool off, I personally wouldn't be forcing him into the lineup.

Alright Paredes!

[mrguy]

Amazing job working around that leadoff triple, striking out the next 3. Definitely a nice reset after not pitching for nearly 2 weeks

[mrmpls]

Parades ,   heck of a job !!   Sticks-- its time to shine here !

[Church of Kreidler]

I, for one, am very happy to have Paredes back on the mound! Kept it nice and clean after that triple - got out of it like the pro he is!

[Twindy]

Paredes TCB after the dropped ball or triple as they’ve scored it. 3K’s were very strong!

 

[HarmonK03]

Bradley needs to take note of how Paredes and Ober pitched out of trouble.

[thelanges5]

Happy bday Torii Hunter!

[LA Vikes Fan]

I know Paredes' analytics aren't great but everything I see him I thank "this guy can really pitch". He absolutely stays over Adams when Sands comes back. By the way, if Paredes is pitching today, who's starting on Tuesday in Cleveland? 

[Blyleven2011]

Let's go , get Paredes  the win ...

Line up is looking pathetic ...

[Tlaker]

Kody!!

[MMMordabito]

Kody with a K hittin' lefties.

[Twindy]

Another Clem Dawg dinger!

[Danchat]

2 HRs from Clemens off two different LHPs... didn't see that coming.

[thelanges5]

Clemens came to play today 🚀⚾️

perhaps a bullpen game? Paredes and Rojas could probably theoretically go 3-4 each if efficient, though they shouldn't send Paredes out for another inning today if that's the case

[Church of Kreidler]

Well, you know what Rockets bring…

Bombs.

[Peter]

Need more than 2 solo home runs!!!
