You cannot walk this guy Alvarez.

Hello.

 

[DT LUNA]

Hate to see that ins. run

Hate to see that ins. run

Especially against their bullpen.

 

[Duane1952]

Banny good call on Chirinos. 0 for 3 with 2 strikeouts and 2 lob.

Meh. Don't get too worked up guys. It ain't gonna be our year. Just enjoy the ride.

 

[Kelleyman]

Faced a very good team and we were not running on full cylinders. The youth showing with the 3 strikeouts in the 9th. Stillearlyin the season but guys like Profar in obvious need of improvement. That high FB is hard to handle and have to protect corner on those marginally outside pitches he won't get a good call on.

Somy take is it is still early and we don't know what we have until Cashner and Ross are in full swing and if our young guys can take the next step necessary

If my tracker was showing correctly Profar struck out looking on a curveball w 2 strikes on him already? That can't happen

It was a nasty pitch on the black.

 

[Bmurph]

Did Alvarez look as bad as Evan made him sound?

 

[Kelleyman]

Back door curve that per tracking did not touch zone but still need to protect the plate. Strike one was the high hard one he did not catch up to. Swing and misses by all 3

Yes very nasty pitch

The extended LHB zone called by the ump. Profar should have swung, strike or not

I don't know as I missed last couple of innings but saw the 9th

Read on Reddit that after the Nap double, everyone went up looking to park one rather than simply get DDJ home. Some of that falls on Iapoce.

Any chance Encarnacion and Santana sit today because the Indians have already won 2 and it's get away day?

Probably not. Francona seems like he's a much better manager than our rooster. I bet we see a good line up from them today. A win today would be really nice, I'd hate to start the season on the wrong side of a sweep when that is exactly how last season ended. At least we shouldn't see the Indians closer today. I think he's pitched both games.

Allen and Miller have both pitched both games so far

Jesus, dude. It's game 3 of the season and you're already being obnoxious as fuck. Just chill out and shut the fuck up already.
