come on mendick.

Oh for gods sake. They should have got him at 2nd. 

If that throw was on target they would have had him.

Cease gives me Javy Vazquez vibes. I know a lot of people here hated Vazquez but all in all he had a nice career. Like Vazquez, Cease can sometimes have disgusting stuff but instead of varying night to night it varies pitch to pitch. Vazquez was the same way. You just never knew what would happen next

he didn't know where the bag was, rookie mistake.

5/10 now for Harold Castro against Dylan Cease.

See, Gardenhire can look at the past results and adjust the line-up accordingly.    Jacoby Jones is a top MLB OPS guy, too.

 

Madrigal's teammate at OSU, right?   Greiner?       More issues at the 2B bag getting tags down.   Some of Mendick's flaws getting expose.   Getting rid of the ball on double plays, for one, and also he's been pretty lousy with most tag plays, costing some what would have been pivotal outs (the one that sticks out the most was Lindor swimming past him and leading the Indians' comeback.)

Gotta love Eloy lumbering over and backhanding it too.  

I guess 34 pitches through 2 isn't awful. Would be nice to have a quick inning in the 3rd to stay under 50

That was bad effort on both Eloy and Danny.

Do all MLB.tv viewers get the same ads?  Is HISCOX  a good choice of name for a company?

Tim!!!

Tim Anderson is the MAN!

I love Timmy.

Timmy just doing Timmy things.

Again, just a great baseball IQ play by Timmy.

TA double!  Gets to 3rd!

Dudes gonna mess around and get the cycle today.

Man, TA came off the DL absolutely on fire

Lucky he didn't put his hands up, it would have been a ground rule double.

Okay, let's get some runs back.   Anderson, Jimenez and Abreu here.    Boyd's pitch count is getting elevated after that 1st inning.

Anderson has 6 leadoff homers in his Sox career now.    Smart baserunning by Anderson, ball stuck in the fence, gets a triple out of it.

I will never argue against TA leading off again!  He just makes this team go. 

So TA need a double and single for the cycle, and we are only in the 3rd.

No. You're thinking of Cadyn Griener.  He's in the Orioles org.  Grayson Griener is a catcher that went to South Carolina. 

Terrible AB by Eloy

Why didn't the LF throw his hands up?

Baseball IQ 101.   Just like the time Jimenez was caught in the netting and seemed to treat it like it was a ground-rule double.
