Was YoYo really given a double ? How was that not an error? Yo approached 1st like it was a single , made the turn like it was a single and only went when the OF missed it.

Eloy needs to stop chasing pitches on 0-0 count. Just awful approach by him.

He's a good enough hitter to see if he can get one in his zone.

Eloy and hitting the first pitch breaking ball to the left side...name a more iconic duo. 

The problem is that he is not getting it up in the air.  He is also another great DP candidate.

You could be right.  Will find out for sure in the games ahead.  Hope you are right.

I did read this morning that they’re considering a 6 man rotation for the rest of the season.

So it’s likely a balance still between ramping up and preserving health.

You are right. Too impatient.

I keep hoping that Grandal and Moncada would spread their patience to Eloy and Robert but it doesn't seem to be happening.

Abreu hitting  an around the horn double play.

It's actually hilarious that the Indians have only been no hit with Plesac on the mound. 

Yaz is gonna end up hitting .300 if he keeps this up. 

They should consider swapping Grandal and Eloy

Oh Leury...

Had to have at least one of them.

Yeah, I said that a few days ago. I also think they should try TA at 6th.

Will be glad when he is not resigned 

No respectable team is gonna stupidly throw Sheets fastballs. Especially inside fastballs. 

Another DP.  I guess it comes with the territory, when you are a ground ball hitting team.

Particularly with Grandal on deck, he should be getting something to hit in the sequence.  He is the most protected guy in the lineup.

Particularly with a righty on the mound.

I think this entire offense and TLR need a subscription to Bluechew. GET UP! 

Lynn looks like he's got 2 cutters today. One more like a slider at 84 and a harder one at 92. 

Of course that's their first hit...

I had no idea what that was… now it makes sense. Carry on.

Real good 3 IP for Lance. How long has Seby been catching ? Gotta let that one roll.

Seby brain fart. That was going foul.  Cant get Iglesias out at first anyway.  Fortunately, only cost a handful of pitches more for Lynn.
