Dallas always gets into trouble when his cutter doesn't get in enough on righties. He left that one just over the plate enough for Ramirez to pull it fair.

Ramirez probably could have gotten to third on that. It was in that corner forever. Vaughn was also playing far from the line.

Is it really that low? That's actually kind of crazy. No wonder pitchers just try to jam him inside.

Nice PA for Jose.

McKenzie's fastball looks pretty good. He was in the low 90s earlier in the year against us.

McKenzie has to be the skinniest player in baseball right?

Dallas had everything working in the first.

I'm not looking forward to Keuchel facing Ramirez and Reyes. Need to keep the first few guys in the lineup off base.

Seriously fuck Karinchak, I don't give a shit how he feels.

Honestly baseball fans just love to hate on La Russa. Some of it is probably deserved, but what he did last night was a breath of fresh air. Had he done nothing, I'm sure the same critics saying he shouldn't have gotten so mad over an accident would have been criticizing him for not standing up for his player. It's hard for him to win either way in the court of public opinion when most people have their mind made up already. I still don't get what Tony is doing half the time with his some of his on-field decisions, but I think he won a lot of Sox fans over with what he did last night.

Are you saying you want them to bunt with the bases loaded and nobody out?

What an asshole. You guys hit our player in the head. You don't get to try to play victim for an HBP that hasn't happened and probably won't happen.

I really liked what Hernandez did in his debut. Got a hit that resulted in a 2 run inning and laid down an incredibly well placed and smart bunt (I don't like bunts, mind you) in the 8th to get 2 runners into scoring position when we really needed one more run.

We already did that for Kimbrel. I was surprised as shit that they traded Bryant for that package but we couldn't get him along with Kimbrel if we added someone like Burger.

We were content to give them an out, but they were like, "nah, save that for later when you got the bases loaded and nobody out".

Can we talk about how bad Karinchak looked without sticky stuff? I don't think he threw a single curve ball, at least not for a strike. He honestly looked like the worst pitcher Cleveland threw out there tonight.

Good thing we got Kimbrel, cause Tepera might not be the answer.

That might be the first time Ruiz went into a high leverage situation and absolutely killed it this year.

Liam looks pissed af haha

Ball Game!

Stop throwing him fastballs, throw another curve to wipe him out.

Can we commit it if we scored with the bases loaded though?

There goes Liam spiking his slider again.

After KC, I don't have a ton of confidence in Liam.

Sheets went up there swinging at 2 pitches at face level and then looked at a ball right at the knees. He really set the tone for fucking up that situation.
