We should definitely keep putting the guy who walked 53 batters in 53.1 AAA innings last year in for 1-run games. It's solid as heck planning.

Alexei's error is going to hurt us :/

This coaching staff likes Cleto way too much.

Perhaps Coop has gotten him to take a few MPHs off to get some more control like he's done with other pitchers?

 

Given the way the pitching has been the last two years, maybe they need to focus a bit more on velocity.

Soxtalk loved Cleto 3 weeks ago.

Amen. If you can't throw strikes u are worthless in the bigs.

Cleto is a tire fire

That's because no one can hit off the guy. Unfortunately, no one has to because he has no idea where he is throwing it. I think they are expecting if he just throws it over the plate, the hitter won't stand a chance.

It's scary how much he resembles the relievers they brought in for 2007 and thought would be effective.

I like him too. Just needs some work but I like guys who come in throwing heat.

The problem is, there aren't many options. Soxtalk wants Webb to pitch the 8th or close, so if Ventura put him in during the 7th, he's a dumbass.

Alexei with about his 5th diving stop this game.

Dam Cleto

skinny bastard. please don't get hurt

Yes it is. That team started off pretty well too and then the bullpen couldn't throw a strike. They are kind of doing the same thing this year that they did then. I just hope it doesn't lead to another overreaction with them giving a $20 million contract to a middle reliever.

I'd rather have Clete Boyer than Cleto.

 

Hope Lexi is OK. It'd be Beckham time at shortstop right?

Semien at SS, but holy cow would that be a terrible infield if Gillaspie stays injured.

bring in downs (reverse psychology)

Yeah, Hawk. The walk is why we're facing Cabrera with bags loaded. Not Alexei's error.

This should be one interesting at bat. Let's predict now.

I predict he either hits him or walks him.

"Should have started Webb this inning"

Welp, this AB right here will decide if I go forage for food or not. Please, just let him hit it hard AT some one.

Holy crap, Webb in a big situation. Go get 'em, Daniel!
