Silver lining: maybe Morel gets sent down to add a reliever after the game.

 

Umm....who are we going to start at 3B?

we're going to wear crain out by the break

Crain is in a crowd tied at 41st in the league in appearances.

Clippard's pretty damn good.

If they lose, it's one where you wish they just would have gone 1-2-3 in the 9th, and go get 'em tomorrow. But nooooooooo...

So how did Edwin look tonight?

Fantastic.

Coming into tonight, hitters are at .250 vs Crain with RISP and 2 outs. He's well below .200 in every other situation stat.

Cleveland served up the lead at least.

Cmon Adam be useful

Silver lining: maybe Morel gets sent down to add a reliever after the game.

Who, exactly, would we call up that doesn't suck?

Which makes a loss even worse.

Won't happen. Morel's not going down. It will be Beckham being sent down, IMO, if one of the two goes.

Dallas McPherson.

It still certainly is. It's mental with Beckham. We know he has the talent. He needs to go back to just swinging and not thinking about every little mechanical thing. He's putting a lot of pressure on himself. Luckily he's been able to stay loose in the clubhouse and is still defending well.

I'm starting to think he will forever be a basket case.

Funny....former Twin (Ramos) beats former Twin pitching for White Sox. Can we ever get a break?

 

I guess we did in the bottom of the 10th and didn't finish it off. Or Pierre's ball going out in the 9th.

Crain faced 2 batters too many in that inning. He should've been pulled when he got the 2nd out, but Ozzie didn't have anybody ready yet in the bullpen

 

Beyond that, it's unreal how often the pitchers on this team screw the offense over in extra innings. Every damn time we score runs, the pitchers just give it right back.

Dunn fighting

It makes no sense, too. He is smart. Confident. And yet he looks lost.

Good to hear about Edwin.

 

Dunn battling . . .

I have the feeling this game will define the season. This is twice we have rallied, and then twice we have served it up. Can we recover?

 

worst part is blowing the bullpen

 

I think we saw why lillibridge is getting limited playing time that at-bat will hang around for a while

not a chance Beckham gets sent down instead of Morel, lol

He doesn't have anybody left in the bullpen anyways. Thornton against right handers doesn't exactly inspire me.

Dallas McPherson.

Can he pitch?

He's not a lost cause...yet.

He might have a high IQ, but the psychological aspect of the game appears to really challenge him.

We have exactly one pitcher left.

This is where the 6 man rotation really hurts. Crain should have been pulled sooner but we don't have the arms so we needed the full inning from him.
