SMH...Q. what would it take to advance the runner Ans: last out of the inning

[Vanimal46]

The bullpen is looking quite thin here. Do we trust the new guy Anderson on back to back days?

[mrmpls]

Bell    need glasses ?

[Hawkeye Bean Counter]

We have had 3 innings of at bats, and have been unable to move the runner to 3rd during the 1st at bat.  Come on guys,  this is simple baseball.  Move runner,  hit a sac fly and drive them in.   

[Tlaker]

Golden Sombrero for Bell…..

At this point he is the most trustworthy and hasn't pitched.  Most likely isn't going to end well which is why we need runs.  

[lecroy24fan]

 A wild pitch here would be.....wild?

[Patzky]

Ridiculous.

Did he hit a game winner?   Oh ok so its 2 games

Oh did he get on base 5 times yesterday and score 2 runs?  Oh you mean 3 games 

 

Also I would be a millionaire for the number times people wanted Larnach off this team, traded,  not to offer the arbitration - he isn't worth $4 million.  You are talking out of both sides of your mouth.  You think a player who has been in the big leagues 5 years needs the at bats that hasn't shown much more than Roden during that time period until this year.   Its just bizarre and weird and seems that you have an agenda against him.  

At this point - I think its pointless to continue to discuss things with you.   

You want to replace someone who is hitting .292 with and OPS of .839, that sounds bizzare to me.  And what has Roden done in his major league stints with us and Toronto to warrant making that move.  Now if there is an injury or trade, he might be next man up and that is fine, even though I would prefer Jenkins in that scenario.  But I am not forcing him into the lineup just because we traded for him.

New rule proposal: if neither team scores a single run after 3 innings of Manfredball, it's a loss for both teams

Or they could do what the NFL does and call it a tie, which will make the teams' records stick out in the record books when looking back on past years. 

[Hawkeye Bean Counter]

Lewis intentionally walked?   Seriously   

[Patzky]

OMG. Larnach 

[HarmonK03]

Way to go Trevor!

[Hawkeye Bean Counter]

There you go Larnach.  

[wavedog]

Thank You Cleveland for walking Lewis!  

[c24]

YES!!

[lecroy24fan]

Even wilder than a wild pitch is walking Lewis to get to Larnach. Nicely done Trev.

Bit them..Larnach against LHP...Now I am sure Cle is going to score one in the bottom

[Mike Sixel]

Who the hell intentionally walks Lewis? Firable offense. 

[Danchat]

I get why the lefty would want to face Larnach, but the way he's hitting this year, he's the one to walk.

[Hawkeye Bean Counter]

That was dumb to walk Lewis.  

[The Great Hambino]

Nice well-timed reverse-jinx graphic from the production crew showing Larnach's L/R splits

[c24]

YES AGAIN!

[HarmonK03]

Way to go Luke!!

[Vanimal46]

[Tlaker]

Hitting .156 vs LHP. 90% of managers would have walked Lewis there.

Rocco would have PH Margot there.
