And on the rare times when Shelly catches one flush, he leaves no doubt. That was a bomb.

Yes, Laser Lou as they call him lol...

Obviously he has a cannon. But he's like a puma back there. So quick.

2-1 now. All Hisely does it hit bombs.

From ESPN on what Indians might do:

Cleveland Indians: They would be open to adding modestly priced help, without giving up any major prospects. Cleveland is not going to blow up its long-term plans in an effort to win the division this year; you will not see the Indians swap young players for pricey short-term rentals. Still, the Indians can do things like picking up Mike Cameron -- Cleveland has a major need for a right-handed-hitting outfielder -- for pennies, now that the Red Sox have designated him for assignment.

And just like that we are tied. Dang. And the pitcher was up next, with 1st base open. Retarded. Talbot isn't hitting Marson's targets at all.

I swear Talbot only pitches well when he has no run support. Once he gets a lead he falls apart. Not a good day for him to struggle because the entire bullpen (save Judy) was used last night. We needed a long outing from him.

Talbot getting hit around in the 2nd inning.

Missing his spots by miles.

2 run lead, now a 1 run deficit.

Nah, I think the Tribe stays right where they're at today. That may not stop Cincy from putting up 10 though

I have watched Leake pitch a couple times now this year. I like his approach. For a 23 year old, he seems to have a good idea about how to get guys out. Lot of potential.

He is a pitcher, not just a thrower.

Similar to Tomlin. Not overpowering, but hits his spots and mixes in some good breaking stuff.

Detroit is down 2-1 in the 5th and SF is still threatening.

Gosh Talbot needs pulled. He can't hit any targets.

I think they heard you. BP is warming up.

Josh Judy is warming up

Matt Underwood single handedly took the Tribes 2 runs away.

6-0 Cincy as he says now.

What an idiot.

Lucky Votto just missed that pitch...but down 6-2.

I think we've seen enough of Talbot.

I'd say so.
