[jimmer]

In the last 30 days, Grossman and Mauer (right behind him) lead the team in wRC+.

Sending Rooker to E-Town, huh? Not too pleased with that. Hope he's in A ball very soon.

"I've got a good number of at-bats with wood under my belt..."

 

Dude! Phrasing!

Just a hunch it has something to do with him being from Tennessee.

[yarnivek1972]

Uh oh

[Riverbrian]

 

I've been diagnosed with an irregular heartbeat. I was quite surprised and so were a lot of people. Mainly because most people assumed I didn't even have a heart...

 

I have been diagnosed as just plain irregular. 

[Mike Sixel]

It's important 22 year olds​ from top conferences play against teenagers....

 

I would like to thank Cleveland for giving turley a free out....

I didn't envision this going much differently.

[LaBombo]

 

There is a rule that a player is supposed to make reasonable effort to avoid HBP.

 

If it were me potentially getting plunked by a 90+ mph pitch, my definition of "reasonable" effort to avoid being hit would be a bit outside the mainstream....

I think Turley wanted that pitch back as soon as he threw it.

[Mike Sixel]

Can't wait to read how well he pitched again. Sigh.

It was a 70 mph curve.

[Aggies7]

It's cool, we have Adam Wilk going tomorrow.

How is Escobar not in the lineup tonight?

 

His name didn't get put into one of those slots. 

[USAFChief]

Well this is going pretty well, don't you think?

[Riverbrian]

 

Seriously, though, I have an irregular heartbeat and and will be seeing a cardiologist pretty soon.

 

No big deal. coughcough,gaaaack, thud...

 

Although, all kidding aside, it potentially could be something which is why it is probably wise Mr. Martinez is on the DL.

 

Cough and Hack I can live with. 

 

No Thud Please... I like having you around.

Wilk?  Really?  Turley and now Wilk? Yeah, we should stop second-guessing the new FO...

[mickeymental]

nik seems a bit overmatched.

[Aggies7]

In their defense, what choice do they have with Santiago and Hughes out

[Darius]

This pitching staff somehow keeps getting worse.

 

That 680 ft homerun from Encarnacion was pretty impressive, though...

[Aggies7]

This umpire stinks

[yarnivek1972]

This is the first game I have seen Turley pitch live. I didn't see the game last week. I think Turley's repertoire might play better as a reliever. He would probably be at 95-96. The curve is okay, but a little more break would be nice.

Counting on Hughes (health-wise) or Santiago (skill-wise) to begin with...not a good idea.

It's pretty sad that they have no choice, but not surprising. I've been watching this team for some years now...

Santana and J.O, then "f#@%!ng far from okay" - o.

Santana, la maquina, then pray for three days of rain

[Blake]

Great, I get the game on just in time to see Encarnacion blast one out of the park.

Wolfson had a tweet that he's just going to be there for a couple weeks to get used to playing OF every day, then likely go to Ft Myers
