Those swings by Beltran were very pretty.
I remember all the good times me 'n Miller enjoyed
Up and down the M1 in some luminous yo-yo toy
But the future has to change - and to change I've got to destroy
Oh look out Lennon here I come - land ahoy-hoy-hoy

His swing from the left hand side has always been luscious.

Really nice to see Bregman go with the pitch and rip a double down the RF line.

When he walked the first guy on 4 pitches I told Buster that Encarnacion was going to hit a homer. Fucking meat slider.

Terrible by Morton....Encarnacion could simply not catch up to the fastball, so he hangs a breaking ball

Reminded me of the homer Bonds hit at one of or Opening Day excursions. Hit some poor schlub right in the gut at about 150mph in the front row in right.

If the ump tells the pitcher to pitch and he doesn't. Can he call it a ball? Are there any consequences?

Two of the perhaps eight people visible in the front row were, I noticed as I watched the replay of the play at the plate, peering intently downward at something more interesting than the game and missed the play entirely.

Given the scrutiny and general dislike by the MLB a community, I'm surprised the Indians have kept chief wahoo on the road jersey sleeve, which seems unnecessary and contrary to the inevitable phase out.

Given the scrutiny and general dislike by the MLB a community, I'm surprised the Indians have kept chief wahoo on the road jersey sleeve, which seems unnecessary and contrary to the inevitable phase out.

Morton back on for the 6th, much to my surprise.

Martinez works the count  full and then flies out to Springer in CF.
Chisenhall goes deep on an 0-2 pitch. 3rd HR tonight for the Tribe.
Zimmer works the count full and then walks.

Hinch has seen enough and brings in Hoyt to relieve Morton.

Perez grounds to short for the fielder's choice 6-3 (runner was on the move to avoid the DP). Runner on 2nd with 2 out.
Kipnis grounds to Altuve for the final out.

Indians lead 4-2 in the middle of the 6th.

Two of the perhaps eight people visible in the front row were, I noticed as I watched the replay of the play at the plate, peering intently downward at something more interesting than the game and missed the play entirely.
They were probably both posting on here.

Lindor got nothing on that throw, bounced it twice and still beat Altuve by a full step.

Oppo dinger by Correa makes it 4-3 now, Indians.

Was Chisenhall saying that those were Indians fans who caught the ball - possibly taking it away from him?

Altuve leads off, grounds up the middle, and Lindor makes a tremendous play to throw him out.
Correa goes deep (well, shallow, but it's still out) to RF! Chisenhall nearly grabbed it, but couldn't quite get it.
Beltran with a lengthy AB, finally pops up on the 11th pitch.

That's the end of Bauer's night, thank goodness. Left-hander Logan on in relief.

McCann gets behind 1-2 but works the count full and walks on the 10th pitches.

Francona not happy with that and replaces Logan with Shaw.

Gurriel grounds out 6-4.


Astros get a run, but the Indians still lead 4-3 after 6.

I asked because after the play they showed Chisenhall mouthing something to someone in the infield, and he swiped his hand across the "CLEVELAND" on his own chest and appeared to say something about "...fans".

Hoyt returns for the 7th.

Lindor flies out to LF.
Brantley walks on a 3-2 pitch that was pretty good.
Santana (how any left-handed hitters do they have, anyway?) up. Brantley steals second without a throw on a 2-2 pitch. Santana strikes out swinging on a nice sinker.

Hinch takes the ball from Hoyt and hands it to Feliz.

Encarnacion *crushes* a Feliz fastball foul past the upper deck; glad to see we're healing him! Feliz strike him out with high heat.


Indians still lead 4-3 in the middle of the 7th.

Shaw back out for the bottom of the 7th.

Somebody flies out to CF for the first out.
Aoki hits a bloop into short RF and Kipnis makes a nice over-the-shoulder catch for the second out.
Springer takes a very questionable third strike.

Indians lead 4-3 after 7 innings.

Fucking Rangers win their 10th straight, beating the Tigers 5-3.

Feliz back on for the top of the 8th.

Ramirez hits the ball into the LF bullpen area and winds up with a lead-off triple.
Chisenall flies to CF, Ramirez tags and scores without a throw.
Zimmer strikes out.
Perez works the count full but strikes out on a FB at the knees.


Indians lead 5-3 in the middle of the 8th.

Here comes Andrew Miller for the top of the 8th. Time to pour some gasoline on his skinny ass and light it on fire.

Mighty Marwin pinch-hitting for Reddick. Sadly, he goes down swinging on a down-and-in slider.
Altuve grounds out to Lindor. At least he hit the ball.
Correa lines to RF. That was quick.

Cody Allen for the 9th.

Beltran pops out on a ridiculous over-the-top catch by Ramirez in shallow LF.
McCann hits it to the same damn spot, and Ramirez catches it for the 2nd out.
Gurriel lines out to CF for the final out.


Suck.  Better luck tomorrow.

The fact that the gz doesn't seem to be suicidal is encouraging. We'll see what happens tomorrow.

No. I think I get it just fine.

If we were "at the bar" the impression I got from tonight's gz is that we just got beat tonight. That happens. My use of the word suicidal is obvious hyperbole. While dickstepping accompanies every loss of any baseball game (i.e. someone has to eventually step on a dick) it simply seemed to me that the Indians beat the Astros tonight. Nobody shit the bed but instead the team woke up the next morning with a few skid marks on the sheets.

If you got it, you'd understand that just because someone criticizes an at bat or a pitch doesn't mean they've given up on the season and are ready to throw in the towel.  This seems to escape you.
