He might not (probably wont) face him again.

Hasn't yet.

Minny with no problems slapping a hit to the outfield. Runner on 2nd with no outs.

Runner on 3rd with 1 out.

If this was the Indians, it would follow with a K and a pop out..

With the Twins, it'll be a single and an RBI.

Or not, they'll just get a 2 out rbi double.

2-0 feels like 10-0.

That seems to have happened a lot against us this year. We get the big out, and then give up the hit to the next guy.

I also wouldve loved to see him be way more careful versus Morneau and gone after the right handed Young, who looked bad the first 2 times up.

Bad decision...1st base open and you pitch to their best hitter?

It seems to me that when the Tribe gets RISP, they get long swings on the ball...

Minny just shortened up and got the job done... Not trying to kill the ball.

Seriously though, the offensive ineptitude by this team is only currently rivaled by the A's.

The pitching is going good again, for the most part... But it's hard to win when you score 0.

Santana, for fuck sake you don't have to try to tie the game with 1 swing.

And this is a major issue. Remember the early season "small ball" winning formula? Can't use that when you're down 2-0 or 3-0 because the offense blows goats.

I dont know what happened to him. Santana is not the same hitter I saw last season. Last season he was the closest thing to the natural hitter that Manny was that I've even seen. This season.....looks like a bum up there.

How fitting that we bat Grady 3rd, and he STILL gets a solo HR. Fuck.

A solo shot, then sat down the next 3 Tribe batters without a sweat.

Santana has major holes in his swing when he tries to kill the ball. He's at his best with a short, sweet swing.

Choo has patented the grounder to the 2B.

LaPorta put a good swing on the ball, but it was hit right to the 2B.

It's gotta be the curse of Cleveland. We get a phenom prospect and bring them up and they can't do shit...
