Have a game, jimbo

Looks like he might be saving the CH for second or third time through.

Hard to believe they pissed that one away. Could have been a nice momentum builder.

Be interesting to hear what Tim has to say after the game. Hasn’t been shy in the past. I think that’s a big insurance run we got. Can’t walk off without adding a base runner.

What a machine.

Nope. Games over. Get em tomorrow.

That’s ok. We’ll get 3 more. Hold them.

I think we win this game 7-5 i had this ready to post 2 innings ago and chickened out.

Let’s just get one run here. Chip away.

I don’t want to be a doofus, but kinda feels like a game we aren’t going to win.

Josh Naylor from Toronto “suburb” Mississauga. I used quotes bc Mississauga is bigger than Cleveland.

Not really. They’re better than the Twins.

American football has to be the most boring game in the world.

Moustakas is the picture definition of “doofus”.

I used to be a catcher, and I was pretty good so I played against some teams Votto was on. Votto would call the pitches out of the pitchers hand. Not to be an asshole, he would just talk to himself. I was calling the pitch, but he would say immediately “ball” or “slider” out loud to himself the second it left the pitchers hand. I hated him so much but appreciate him now. Some guys have it.

AJ isn’t a Votto fan. But Votto may as well be an umpire. Dude doesn’t swing at balls.

Not really sure what to think here. On the one hand he’s obviously supremely talented, a fact that really can’t be debated. on the other hand, he’s a polarizing personality. But, I don’t think that’s as big of a deal with a starting pitcher. They usually do their own thing anyways. I don’t see this happening because of Coop, and not blaming either guy. I can’t see them meshing well. At all.

Crochet definitely put himself on the map. What a debut. It’ll be interesting to see what he has if he’s looking to go 5+ innings. I would hope he’d dial it down.

I don’t think we can blame stiever for scoring 1 run. The loss is on him, absolutely, but he isn’t the reason we were a little lifeless.

Maybe, maybe not. We aren’t in the dugout. Just how I saw it.

I kind of expected this. Just finished a big series and they probably didn’t feel that intensity today. Hopefully they feel it tomorrow with Bauer going.

Would have been very interesting to see them face off. I love Votto because he’s from Toronto and he’s the best player I ever played against.

Yeah who knows. Things like crochet being called up, and even things that didn’t go well like Stiever starting today, suggest they aren’t thinking that way. But ultimately who knows.

Sorry, but I love Votto.

Good call.
