That's who Odorizzi is. Can't we just get used to the fact that he will rarely if ever make it into the 7th inning? We have a rested bullpen with Monday and Tuesday off.

Yep. He avoids hard contact for the most part, but throws a lot of balls. In today's game he is a 5-6 inning pitcher almost everytime out.

Which team has made more outs on the bases so far this series? Both teams seem to just run into outs constantly.

 

Richard says that it appears Arraez missed the hit and run sign there.

Maybe they need to call more of them, so the players won't be caught by surprise.

Apparently a hit-and-run was on, Arraez missed the sign. At least that's what it looked like in the Twins dugout.

Yeah, but still . . . .

Cleveland sending up Santana, Puig, and Ramirez in the ninth....

Wahoo's Kirilloff batting on MiLB.tv (he's not real fast after that DP)

Chapman warmed and ready for the YankMee's

Wow, maybe Odo gets through 6!

Six pitch inning from the modern day Maddux. 

Maybe they need to call more of them, so the players won't be caught by surprise.

Or just, don’t?

And Chapman walks the first batter with Puig, Ramirez and KIpnis coming up.

Indians down to their final out

I don't think many people here would believe if you told them Adrianza would be hitting .290 in August - a lot of us didn't think he'd still be on the roster.

 

On another note, I still stand my what I said about Minor - I would have liked to acquire this guy, I think he's a good starter. I'd trust him a lot more than Gibson and Perez.

Chapman's my new friend

Schoop is capable of making major-league plays at 2B.

Schoop, I promise not to hate you for the next ten minutes after that play.

Schoop’s arm has saved Odo in this game.

I’m fine with that walk. Get Mazara!

Last hitter for Odo?

Last hitter for Odo?

Yup.

Cle gives us time one tonight. Let's take the other half and go up 1.5

Get him, Jake!

Get him, Jake!

Boo

Crap.

Chute.

Damn it all, Odo. One pitch.

Dang!

Not a good pitch.

Let’s go, Tyler! Poach this win!

Now it’s up to Tyler Duffey’s ears to get out of the inning.

 

Seriously, though. Those ears. They’re basically a potato famine play in and of themselves.

Twins need lefty pitchers to get lefty out.

Gotta find a way to score another run here. This seems like a must win.
