8/24 At the MLB team that shares a city with the Browns

[Maxbialystock]

Cant understand why we don't bring Brentz up. Hanley strikes out 4 times last night and Holt blows.

 

I hope you know that the great August run thus far is largely due to improved hitting. Yes, Ramirez struck out 4 times, but the lineup, entirely without any help from Brentz, scored 6 runs off a real contender for the AL Cy Young this year and a pretty bullpen.

[Jasonbay44]

I'm thinking of giving up and watching the Big Bang Theory.

 

I don't think watching Big Bang Theory is ever a good option under any circumstance.

[Jasonbay44]

If we play Cleveland in the post season would you have Sale pitch? Tough decision seeing how ineffective he is against the tribe.

I REALLY hope this isn't a serious question.

There must be a real good reason why Brentz is not being called up.

Well unless Sale can find a new game plan against Cleveland then it could be.

I mean why start the AL Cy Young winner when you got Doug Fister and Eduardo Rodriguez right?

You're right. A kind of stupid question on my part.

[Jasonbay44]

Okay, Xander! Lets cut into this lead.

[Maxbialystock]

I love it. Both extra were off Bauer's very hittable fast ball. They never listen to me..

[Maxbialystock]

We have a ball game, ladies and gents.

[Maxbialystock]

You're right. A kind of stupid question on my part.

 

Easily forgiven in the heat of the moment..

[d-money]

Need our pitchers to throw zeros!!

[d-money]

Here comes hembree. Oh boy.

[Maxbialystock]

interesting. Farrell applies the 7 run rule to his ace after the fact and entirely because the Sox are back in this thing.

[bowman]

Agree, Just can't remember having someone at AAA with that kind of power and not calling him up. Has to be something wrong..

[Maxbialystock]

I think moonslav has already provided a definitive explanation on why.

[d-money]

Need to find a way and score before that Guardians bullpen comes around.

[Station 13]

I didn't know Kenny Powers pitch for us.

[Maxbialystock]

Great walk by Hembree against Encarcion. 4 pitch walk is a lot better than a big hit or a walk on a 3-2 count..

[d-money]

Need to try and do some damage here. Let's go!!!

[Maxbialystock]

Need to find a way and score before that Guardians bullpen comes around.

 

I'm not so sure. They were great in game 1, but used a lot of guys and gave up 3 in game 2 and 4 last night. Not a good trend for them.

[Maxbialystock]

It is unarguable that Mookie struggles against breaking balls.

[Jasonbay44]

If Hanley hits a bomb here, a lot of his struggles will be forgiven. Make it happen

[Maxbialystock]

That was a very hard hit single to right with only one out, but Holt didn't hesitate. Moonslav says he is a good base runner, and I agree.

[Station 13]

Betts has to get out of his funk.

[Jasonbay44]

There was 2 outs.

[Maxbialystock]

Good swing by Ramirez on the 3-0 fastball with 2 outs and Devers, who has clearly cooled off, coming up. Plus he hit hard..

Can't hate on Hanley there. He ripped the ball just unfortunately right at someone.

[Maxbialystock]

There was 2 outs.

 

You're right. So of course he got a great jump and got there with ease.

[d-money]

They cannot give up runs here.
