Take the curtain call Seby! You deserve it!

100% APPARENTLY

HOLY FUCK!!!!!

You gotta take until you get a strike.

What are the odds Seby runs into 2 homers in one game?

Either they're pitching around Engel to get to Zavala again or McKenzie has lost his command.

Two bad base running plays in 2 nights. He should have scored on Vaugh's fly out just now.

Sheets should have been tagging. Instead, he thought that was gonna drop.

Not sure Mercado was doing on that, but thanks for the extra base!

Seby actually hit his a little harder.

Last year's Keuchel is completely different than the one this year. This year's Keuchel is giving up more barrels than he's ever given up. For a ground ball pitcher, that can't happen. His barrel and hard hit rates were very good last year and while he probably got lucky, he was still a decent pitcher underneath. Ever since he got hurt late in the season last year, he hasn't been the same guy. The command is just not quite there. For a guy who has subpar stuff, he can't get away with mistakes in the zone.

I'm not sure how Franmil didn't hit that one out.

Dallas really can't afford to fall behind guys 3-0, especially not free-swingers like Rosario.

I thought Rosario swinging at that 3-1 sinker down low was helping Dallas...nope.

Cutter right down the pipe...sigh.

I'm guessing now that they have Kimbrel and Hendriks, they'll use them in alternating order.

Let's see how Dallas looks 2nd time around the Indians middle of the order.

McKenzie seems to get a lot of weak contact and swings and misses on his fastball despite poor spin rate and mediocre velocity. Is that just because he gets good extension on his pitches with his lanky arms?

Tim got beat on 92 upstairs on a fastball count. Can't be doing that.

A lot of the scouting reports I read on Seby did say he might run into 10 homers a year if he got a backup C job. There's 1.

Seby!!!

We're complaining that we have Zavala in the 9 spot. Cleveland looks like they have 3 Zavalas at the bottom of their order.

Straw is a really good defender in CF who looks like he can get on base alright. I still don't know why Houston traded him for Maton.

I've noticed that he's using the slider more tonight. We'll see how Cleveland adjusts the 2nd time around.

Keep him out of CF and he'll be fine.
