Guardians don't score in top one

Carlos Rodon vs Godzilla Alex Cobb

Marcus Stroman and Anthony Rizzo added back to the Yanx' roster for this round

[metirish]

I'm watching and Jeff Francoeur in on with Ron Darling, I can't believe it, and i had to look, but it was 2009 when Jeff was with the Mets. I think my disbelief is how fast the years are going by

[whippoorwill]

We accidentally started watching this on tru tv. Very annoying

[Frayed Knot]

Yanx score 3 in the 3rd on a HR (Soto) plus three walks and two wild pitches.
At least make them earn it!!

[Gwreck]

Bad job by Cleveland, but still not as bad as Luis Castillo.

[Frayed Knot]

Yeah, yanx have scored six runs so far in this series (10 innings) and have been handed half if them.
Last night: walk, walk, walk, wild pitch, wild pitch
Tonight's 1st inning: 1st & 3rd, none out, dropped infield Pop up

[Frayed Knot]

Both 'Aces' are now gone.
Cleveland's Bibee doesn't last the 2nd, and Cole doesn't make it through 5 despite just one run allows so far. He does leave, however, with sacks loaded and one out.

[Frayed Knot]

Guardians have closed to 3-2 but have left a small village on base thru 5 including them loaded in the 5th

How long can Holmes stay in for ?

How long can Holmes stay in for ?

He was the closer for most of the season so he's not jacked up for long outings.

Good Cleveland has had many chances , hopefully a big inning coming up

[Frayed Knot]

Jazz Chisolm picked off 2nd in a crucial situation.

[whippoorwill]

Come ON Cleveland don’t do this

[metirish]

Have to say, this crew with Ron and Frenchy ,and Brian are good

Cleveland up 2-1 through 4

[Frayed Knot]

And Boone has the 'Bitching at Umpires' lead about 7 - Zip so far.
He somehow got the umps to have a six-man confab in order to discuss a time violation on Juan Soto (it made the count 0-1). He then bitched about it all the way to the dugout and after that when they didn't reverse the decision.

I have no idea what specifically the umps were discussing although I hope it was their post-game dinner plans.

Go Guardians, I'm watching until Mets o'clock at least

[metirish]

Judge just hit a 2 run HR to tie the game of their closer in the 8th , a line drove to right that cleared the fence in about 2 seconds


And now Stanton just homered

[Fman99]

Ugh, shitty Guardians

[Frayed Knot]

The Cleveland closer, Emmanuel Clase, pitched 74 innings this season giving up 5 ER, 39 hits, and 2 HRs.
Tonight he comes with 2 out and one on in the 8th and goes HR, HR, 1B before finally ending the inning.

Hilarious

big christmas leaving a present under the tree for all of cleveland.

that dude has the best nickname.

[Fman99]

Watched the replay of both late home runs. At least something good happened in baseball yesterday.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

There were also a few crazy plays, Cleveland effed up a rundown and Andres Gimenez and Naylor combined for this jawdropper

[Frayed Knot]

I was on the Cleveland radio broadcast yesterday (right up until the 9th inning when the Met game started so I missed all the fireworks). Anyway, one of the Cleveland guys talked about how they couldn't use the language that Sterling had used to describe a Yanqui mistake from the previous game (i think it was also a pickoff). 'John can get away with that', he said, 'but we'd get fired'.

Not sure what it was but that's gotta be on the internet somewhere.
