Top of the order. Let’s get a couple here.

THE LEADOFF MAN IS OUT!

My heart sank on that one. These games are excruciating.

Score is tied, we have a good shot at a win, so I’m not trying to be dramatic. But all these walks really suck the fun out of the game for me. It’s a weird mix of boring and gut-wrenching.

Cease is so hard to watch.

So obviously the score is 1-0.

Wouldn’t mind seeing some bodies moving in the pen

Looked safe to me.

Buxton looks way too confident at the plate for my liking.

Needed that 1 pitch out. Whew.

Lucky that stayed in the park

Cordero needs work, obviously.

More like the big hunk.

Nice little dig at a-rod

I was excited to see Moncada today. Probably our best player when he’s right. And he looked right finally.

Maybe I’m crazy, but I think it’s Abreu’s award to lose as of today.

All this kid does is hit.

Imagine having bummer here

Minny loss.

Cleveland loss.

HR #15 by Cruz. Totally normal and natural career arc. 6-4 Cardinals. 8-6 Royals over Indians. 2 out in the 9th.

Obviously you bring in cordero. C’mon man.

I said out loud “stay up” off the bat bc I thought it was a bloop.

Yas’ bat drop is as good as any bat flip I’ve seen.

Tim to the rescue!
