  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.
• hoops23

  

  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.
• hoops23

  

  Or not, they'll just get a 2 out rbi double.
  
  2-0 feels like 10-0.
• Laley23

  

  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?

  F@#$%&*(((!!!!!
• hoops23

  

  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.
• hoops23

  

  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.
• hoops23

  

  OMG. Grady just hit a homer.
• royal_k

  

  Grady goes opposite field! BAM!
• hoops23

  

  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.

  Grady cobtributes a solo shot to help celebrate Negative Nellie Day.

  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.
• Laley23

  

  How fitting that we bat Grady 3rd, and he STILL gets a solo HR. Fuck.
• hoops23

  

  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...
• hoops23

  

  Well, Minny will pick that run back up.
  
  Lead off double.
• hoops23

  

  Hell of a catch by Cord Phelps.
• Laley23

  

  Great catch by Phelps.
• royal_k

  

  Phelps makes a play OC only dreams about. Great catch!
