He's my most enjoyable player to watch on this team. Quality consistent play

Agreed...kinda surprised he is hitting below .280. Seems to smooth and smart to have slumps

It's really only bourne and kipnis hitting any higher than Brantley.

...Maybe raburn is in the mix there too.

Just had that 0/14 stretch. I was glad it was versus the Marlins, cause he usually bounces back with a .500 series after a cold stretch. Hopefully he does that these 4 games!

The boys came to play some defense tonight. Defense, pitching, and timely hitting is a good recipe.

How did they get the error? They really need to cut down on those in this season ending run.

It was a double for Cabrera down the line, but because he is limping, he was stopping at 1st. Stubbs didnt know that and tried to barehand it and it took a really weird ricochet off the 2 corner walls and Miguel then went to 2nd. Not the typical error we have seen recently.

Yes, no question. But have Smith ready with the sinker if we need the double play ball.

Yeah, I dont agree with it either. He never touched the ball. Its like the dive that turns into a triple...not sure why this is any different, honestly.

Especially since Stubbs was rightfully playing it like a double. If he comes up with the barehand, he has a shot at 2nd (in his mind, Cabby is running like normal).

I missed the beginning of Underwood saying it as Kluber left (he said that many were giving Kluber a standing O), but it's either 24K or 34K

Smith, for hopefully a DP ball.

Gotta be 34k. A good portion of the Upper Deck is full.
