He couldn’t pick up the ball

Hmm, Lewis at third, I hope Lee does not show why he should not be at Short Stop.

I think we are seeing something here.  Ober's pitch mix works with a team full of free swingers as they can't really square him up.  Cleveland really doesn't do that and just puts balls in play.  The Rick Anderson School of Pitching doesn't work well with a team that hits like that plus poor defensive range.

[Patzky]

He doesn't play much but Jackson can hit a little.

Pity, after a great game right out of the break. 

They appear to be regressing back to the norm for this team.

Great Question ,   local  writers  are to scared to ask anything that might keep them out of the Buffet room 

Overall Shelton has done a decent job but he still makes some questionable lineup/position decisions.  This is a key game and we've got Buxton and Jeffers sitting and at least two guys playing out of position.

They're very familiar with the Bailey Ober experience.

[RpR]

OH NO, man on third, no outs!!!

Did that ball go out of play? Must not have if they didn't award Jackson home.

[Patzky]

Bring him in, make it respectable

It's the Twins way.

[Patzky]

Well Brooks, good time to break that slump.

[Church of Kreidler]

C'mon Lee, show us how you got that RISP...

That play was a 50/50 play to be made, it is not on Lewis.

[Patzky]

A run and a rally!

Can Clemens get some quick coaching? It worked that one day.

How about we start making some of these guys feel uncomfortable in the box? Dude is hitting like 333 and we’re doing nothing about it 

As a pitcher, got to own a third of the plate, preferably inner third. 

[mrmpls]

3  in a row on base -!!!!!!

[Western SD Fan]

Just thought of this.  Did Cleveland give Grady Sizemore a round of applause?  I hope so since he was such a great player for them in the early 2000's.

[Patzky]

Chrissakes. Even a DP woulda scored

[RpR]

Time for Bell to earn his keep.

The swinging bunt taketh and the swinging bunt giveth!

[Vanimal46]

Tie game! 

Edit: and nothing more!

[Patzky]

Tied it, that's something! But then we got tight.

[SS MagicMark]

That was Bell's first RBI since the 5th.
