Bummer is taking less than 20 seconds from the time he got the ball back from the catcher to throwing his next pitch. I wish Coop could convince more of our staff to do this. So much more effective.

We might need those runs if Herrera gets into this game. He has shaken my faith as of late.

That didn't take long. Jose has really rediscovered the long ball.

Ricky must be managing Cleveland tonight. Keeping the pitcher in with 105 pitches to start the innings.

Herrera shouldn't sniff this game with the way he's going.

Marshall makes it look so easy. Needs to show the other guys his secret.

Way above expectations. Actually looked like a 4/5 starter if you squint.

Eloy is starting to look comfortable. He's going to have a nice second half.

Really...Really Smart. I would have never thought of that DP.

Another nice double play. Been getting them by the boat full lately.

Every time you think you've seen it all. Ricky finds another aggravating thing to do.

Eloy smiles after that near disaster. They just don't care about my fragile nerves.

Carrasco only has one inning left. Need to keep Manny on a very tight leash through the sixth.

Looks great when it works but kind of dumb when it doesn't.

Garcia with a double...Moncada with productive out...Abreu with sacrifice fly. That's how the good teams produce a nice run.

That's a great plan!

I'm not so sure that Cleveland is better than us. If we had a couple more decent starting pitchers we would blow by them IMO.

What a play by Timmy. Cannon for an arm.

Yeah. Maybe lack of depth could become a problem. Oh well...Coop can fix it.

Geez...what happened. That was fast! We got a lead and held it for at least one inning.

Very sure he's not good. Might be pretty good in relief if he learns to stop with the walks.

The best news in addition to leading 4-2 is Carrasco's pitch count is 65 after only 3 innings. Thanks Yolmer and you to Yonder.

Alonso!!! Will wonders never cease. He kilt it.

Might need to add Lopez to that grouping. Then you could close with Colome.

Lucky to get out of that tied. Lousy pitchers are getting on my last nerve.
