Grandal is probably out until August/September, if Trout's injury is any indication of the timeline.

That ball had a low catch probability to begin with. Gordon hit it pretty hard and it didn't hang up that long. A good defender gets to it, but Goodwin isn't that.

That's assuming there's even a game. It's supposed to rain all day tomorrow. We really need Carlos to be a stopper for us. Our starters have been god awful the past 3 days.

Well, not if Grandal is hurt.

Yup I really didn't understand it. I know Tony didn't want to hit Goodwin and Sheets back to back, but the easy solution to that is just to put Vaughn between them.

Had we played better the last 3 days, this division would have been nearly wrapped up. 9 games down in July is a lot and Cleveland might think about selling.

Ah nothing like having Billy Hamilton hitting cleanup followed by Zack Collins.

Cleveland lost

Rays just tied it!

Robles had no off speed stuff against us last week. All his spin rates were down. Hopefully that continues tonight.

Goodwin was positioned weirdly. They were playing Gordon like an opposite field hitter. He very well might be, but if he was playing straight up he might have a shot at that ball. Either way, you're right. Goodwin is a god awful defensive outfielder. Engel coming back will be a godsend.

Burr finally getting exposed a bit today. His stuff just isn't good enough if he's not gonna consistently be around the zone.

Unfortunately this team has been pretty crap for the past 3 weeks. If it wasn't for the Twins sweep, this team would be in a lot of trouble.

Umpire is really screwing Burr tonight. Had he called a ball in Kepler's at bat he would have walked instead of homer'd. Now the ump isn't giving him obvious strikes.

Better hope Robles sucks ass like he did against us last week. Otherwise this game is over.

Against Classe, it's pretty unlikely. Rays have been playing pretty poorly as of late.

Yeah it's pretty disappointing. This was supposed to be when this team padded its record. The schedule isn't easy in July or August.

Now Burr's getting tattooed.

Burr finally gave up a run.

Well, Eaton not grounding into a double play there means we'll get TA to leadoff the 9th at least.

Man why couldn't Arraez do that on his throw home?

Jake got under that one.

Billy probably tries to suicide squeeze, which is a huge gamble.

Jose really just had to hit a fly ball there. The 3 guys after him weren't going to hit a tough lefty like Rogers. Even if we didn't lose the runner on 3rd, the next 2 guys made no contact.

Here comes another 6-5 loss after coming back.
