TCQ's double notwithstanding, I become more and more amazed at Coop's skill as a pitching coach. Crummy or average pitchers just get in the ballpark with him and they become the rebirth of Cy Young.

You absolutely do not give them a free base runner. EVER. You wanna retaliate? Hit a homer, score some runs. Being childish is unacceptable in the game of baseball.
I disagree. You protect your hitters. Always been that way.

You have to retaliate. So now we have to do it Sunday in an 0-0 game. I'd rather have had Bobby hit one of them.
It'll be up to Jose, now early in tomorrow's game.
That's why I wanted to "send the message" tonght.

Even the Indians broadcasters thought MATTY was being squeezed "One of these pitches has gotta be called a strike."
I like, on Direct TV, getting Indians' broadcasters. Always profesional & insightful.
