  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 Mitch Talbot gives the 2 right back.

  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.

  First to 10 may win today.

  Drubs looks ugly at the plate today.

  Nah, I think the Tribe stays right where they're at today. That may not stop Cincy from putting up 10 though
• hoops23

  

  Another 2 out nightmare brewing.

  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.
• hoops23

  

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

  Gosh Talbot needs pulled. He can't hit any targets.
• TBone14

  

  Talbot on ropes with Phillips, Votto and Bruce coming up.
• hoops23

  

  Talbot sucks ass

  +1...he is in the middle waaayyy too much.
• hoops23

  

  Oh boy, Cincy about to bust this shit open.
• iclfan2

  

  Not even warming anyone up. Are we just giving in?

  I think they heard you. BP is warming up.
  
  Josh Judy is warming up
  
  EDIT
• hoops23

  

  Matt Underwood single handedly took the Tribes 2 runs away.
  
  6-0 Cincy as he says now.
  
  What an idiot.
• royal_k

  

  Lucky Votto just missed that pitch...but down 6-2.
  
  I think we've seen enough of Talbot.
• HitsRus

  

  I'd say so.
