Perhaps the shift was invented for Yonder Alonso though. Can we just call it the Yonder? Might as well

That shift is killing Alonso. He better make an adjustment and start trying to go to the opposite field, or he is going to have a terrible season.

pitcher is fooling no one

That was Castillo’s blind squirrel moment for the season

Castillo just bat flipped a single

Yonder gettin screwed by his BABIP doesn’t matter when teams know he hits it to exactly three locations on the right side of the infield 99% of the time

it doesn’t matter how hard he hits them to him, Jason and Steve

Exactly. These players that hit into the shift deserve their horrid stats. So selfish to not go the other way and get a hit; poor Tilson gets robbed. We ain't winning tonight, folks. We don't win 3 straight in Cleveland ... not yet.

Cargo keeps diving for no reason

Wait a second.

He didn‘t want to pinch hit McCann who has been our hottest hitter agains Perez, but takes out Castillo for a pinch runner after he singled with 2 outs.

 

Can‘t make this up. ?

Aaron Bummer has been really good this season. Much better than Fry.

If you purchase tickets to Tribe games do you want to hear that one fan 'wooing' in the background?? That noise is very annoying.

The thing is he did go the opposite way to help win those 2 walkoffs last week.  He needs to do more of that.

I don‘t want to alarm you, but I think Ricky is not a very good manager when it comes to strategy.

Stone makes more excuses for TA than any player since he went into the Sox booth.

Let's score some runs and get Bummer a win!!!

Bummer looks like a major league pitcher. Refreshing.

That first pitch is why Timmy can't walk. How do you swing at that? Cause u are guessing! When you lead off you get on base!

Not likely against Hand.

Did Tim actually expect a fastball that at bat?

Why was Yolmer allowed to bat there as a righty?

What is Yolmer's value? Next please.

Would be nice to extend Bummer a third inning. We all know what's about to happen. But I understand why Bummer won't be continuing. I get it. 

Great now we are going to put Fry in? Is  Herrera unavailable tonight after he was warming up last night?

wish I felt better about this...but I don't.

After last year, I was really hopeful that he would take another step toward becoming a decent offensive second baseman, but so far, not happening
