Walk and than someone hit a homer. Make Indians blow one now.

The problem was he hung the first one middle just slightly high. That too was extremely hittable and than he missed even worse on 2nd pitch.

No Lynn, No Eloy, No Moncada (until tonight)…starting to get parts back…horrendous manager and bad juju though.

Yes

This - I am not normally a proponent for loading the bases but in that situation it was a no brainer.

Really - guy is on fire and you pitch to him. He gave two straight cookie cutters to him and that is the ball game.

Let’s will them to victory. Hope Lopez is okay.

Yeah - his opp avg is under .200 for a reason. That stuff is sick. Now let’s shut ‘‘em out in the top half and win it in the bottom half!

Both pitches he swing at were close. Like I said - in long run - that aggression will serve Yoan well this year. Alright Pito!!!

I like his aggression - even if it doesn’t work now - it is most aggressive I have seen him at all late in years.

No - walk it off now….let’s do it!!!

Ok - let’s walk this off.

I thought Tim was about to make a fifth error for the squad on that throw to Yoan.

Wait - they are really batting 0 on 3-0 counts?

Yes seven - I can’t count.

That was not a bad pitch but a great hit. Happens when you let a team off the hook like this.

I don’t love the odds right now - surprise me ReyLo and surprise me in a good way Sox (to counter the horrific way you just blew this game!!!).

Four errors is just pathetic - but win this one and send the streak to six!

I am getting really excited about what Poles actually did. The secondary is going to be better, I think one of those lineman ends up panning out as a starter in the long-run and who knows about Velus but in some ways making Fields have to go through reads early in his career (vs. just throwing it to a guy) may actually help him to some extent and just having speed around him, while using Montomery, Kmet, Mooney and a better defense to put him in better spots may be huge for year 2. I don't expect to win a ton - but if the players they drafted show promise (get 3 good starters out of this draft) and Fields can progress and show something - end up with still a top 10 pick and hope in a QB draft you have your QB already and might get some serious value for another QB needy team looking to move up. Get to a spot with multiple picks next year (maybe some future picks for the following year) and a ton of cap space and this could actually be a pretty fast turn around. Obviously - Fields development is key to that - but I think having quality defenders around him and not giving him a ton of elite weapons in some ways might actually help in sense that it tempers everyone's expectations so he can continue to focus on growth and development.

4 innings and he just struck someone out at 98. He has given up two runs but just one hit. Damn his stuff is so filthy.

This - It could go lower still and may - but you are still getting 10 or 15% off in the long-run (as long as you have a long view and can tolerate losses in the short).

This + if he is a hit - you probably don't want him by the time he gets to the 3rd deal anyway and you still get great football for his rookie deal and his 2nd deal. I could care less about his age. If he was a major league draft candidate, sure, and to your point, a 1st round pick, again sure, but as a 3rd rounder - if he really shined during the senior bowl and if his athleticism really pushes him up a notch, than lets see what he can do. They could never rebuild this team in one off-season, so we know at the very least it is a 2 off-season process. One thing that did stand out though - Poles likes athletes. It seems like that was a trend out of almost every player drafted. In particular - the late round guys - he swung on people with athleticism and is looking at his coaching staff to develop them up. I really liked how despite a lack of picks, he stacked up more picks and just took some swings at a clear position of need (and if he somehow hits on one of those lineman - that is a huge win)

That one Falcons game was fun….

Starting Monday bears can sign free agents with no impact on potential comp picks.

Boom.
