We need to root for the Twins against the Guardians.

Like Elvis used to sing “It’s now or never”.

Clase got bit by the dreaded leadoff walk.

This is a dig to TLR.

No doubt that the whole atmosphere in the dugout has changed with a lot more energy and enthusiasm. No doubt that if TLR would have still been around , we are probably 6 or more behind. Hope he stays in Arizona the rest of the season.

Looks like more alert, with more energy and quicker decider.

Two walks by Clase, both scoring in the bottom of the ninth.

Fortunately the Royals walked off the Guardians tonight 2-1 given them some confidence against Cleveland. We are trying to catch up because all the games we gave away earlier to the Guardians and lost to the Royals, plus all the games punted by TLR with bad lineups and bullpen management. There is hope though. Good day today 9/7.

And we need to sweep the As…

Keep him in Arizona please. This is a different team for the better without TLR in the dugout IMO.

Very good acquisition. It was a no brainer.

Liam strikes out the side. What a dream,! One of the best comeback wins of the Year. Cairo looks very happy at the end of the game with lots of energy. Could he turn out to be the anti TLR?

Leury hitting clean up in the 9 th with two on. Fortunately, we were up three.

Andrus just saved us along with surprisingly VV. We took out Eloy and Vaughn, so it’s going to be hard to score more runs. We need to shut down Seattle in the 9 th.

It is inexplicable unless Graveman is hurt. If he is available, Cairo is aTLR clone.

I guess the shadows obstructed their views.

Formula should have been Kelly pitches to Suarez and then Bummer can come in.

Who do we have available in the bullpen? Someone should be warming up. Bring in Graveman. Let’s stop the bleeding.

It is insane to have Bummer pitch to slugger righty Suarez. Leave Kelly in for the dangerous Suarez. This is a TLR type move. No sign of urgency. You also cannot take a chance to bring Bummer right off to have to face three hitters in a critical situation.

He looked better than Diekmann. We need relievers that don’t walk hitters particularly leadoff hitters like Diekmann did.

Is ReyLo not available today?

Could have had even more if we would have pinched hit for a Harrison.

Dreaded lead off walk after taking the lead. Don’t trust Diekmann.

Should have had Romy pinch hit for Josh. Castro disappointed me.

Didnt we have anybody better to pinch hit for Harrison? It was a good idea and would get the bonus to replace him for defense as well. Cairo still has some TLR moves with him.
