I know I'm in the minority but I like that they went with Lopez today. He might get hit around, but he at least (typically) throws strikes and attacks hitters. With Cease, I'd be afraid that he misses the zone, gets behind in counts, and then gets taken deep by all the power bats. Neither are ideal but I just don't think Cease matches up well against a team that works counts like this

I bet he falls behind quite a bit today honestly.

Nobody's asking him to be the best pitcher in baseball. I've never understood the Reylo hate. If dude is your 5th, you have a damn good rotation. 

We only got a #1, #5 starter with upside, and a future MLB pitcher for Adam Eaton. Maybe Sox fans thought we traded Christian Yelich?

I have a real hard time seeing Lopez go out there and suddenly figuring out the Twins lineup. Really wish we had used Cease today and given ReyLo a much weaker lineup vs CLE

I think he is going to get shelled and putting forth a lineup full of righties against a righty killer is beyond stupid. Taking our best lefty hitter in Yoan out is also stupid. If he needs a rest in the field, put him at DH and have Encarnacion play 1st since Jose hasn't done anything. 

 

Lopez surprises us all today to the tune of 5 2/3, 3 hits, 2 walks, 2 runs, and 7 strikeouts. Let’s go!

christ.

Jose starting off spry

Could be a long day.  Great fucking play Jose.

Nice play Jose

That ball was smoked, nice play by Abreu.

Hell of play by Abreu

Fastball velocity way down so far. No command either.

Anderson is fucking killing us.

Fucking Tim

Have a weekend Tim

he's out tho Jose is on point!

HES OUT!

That should be the second out.

Christ...this team's defense is god awful outside of Robert and Moncada. 

I could tell Tim was in between steps, again, why is he rushing against Donaldson?  Let the ball come to you man.  He's all fucked up right now.

Bad miss by the ump.

An out is an out.

Overturned!

Lopez is sailing the fastball, but at least everything else is moving so far, I guess

don't give up a dong, reylo

he's throwing across his body it seems.
