  Send him out there with a quick yank. His confidence has to be high right now, but could be shot down with just 1 bad inning.

  What a play by Bauer. Great pick. Tribe challenge and get the call. I have to assume Bauer is done. Very solid outing for him.
• Laley23

  

  Love what I saw from Bauer. Kid has dominating stuff. Hopefully he continues to get better and better. Only 23...

  1st guessing Tito on Bauer coming back out. Don't get it. As I type, Bauer's first pitch is laced to right. So now he is responsible for a runner he shouldn't be. Hopefully Shaw can strand him.

  Last inning should have been it. He clearly buckled down mentally to get out of the jam.

  Sounds like they played some defense tonight. Combined with good starting pitching and they get a series win. Makes it fun to follow...for a while at least

  Defense was good. Apparently they were out early today doing spring training defense drills. Real fundamental type stuff.
  
  Nice win tonight. Nooner tomorrow. We always say just take 2 of 3 but a sweep would feel much better. 3-3 home stand is much better than 2-4.

  could be a 2 game sweep.....gonna rain alot tomorrow.
  
  Bauer was hitting 98-100 on the gun tonite....wow.

  I disagree. I liked it. Its early in the game, it didn't kill a rally or anything. force Miggy's lazy ass pick it up cleanly and make a good throw. they need to manufacture runs anyway they can, and you cant do that by not being aggressive. they were very aggressive on the base paths tonight, it was very refreshing to see.

  The in game interview with kluber brought the lulz and why i wasn't that pissed at Santana.

  It took Miggy looking up and still making a perfect throw too get him.

  That was as close as I have ever seen Kluber with a smile on his face.
• TBone14

  

  Looking at the replay, Cabrera didn't even look up until he heard the crowd. Had the crowd stayed silent, Santana would have cruised into 2nd.

  "Babe" Martinez goes yard again….but the way the Indians have been playing this series 4 runs won't be enough.
• vball10set

  Z-Mac struggling for the third consecutive game....hope he gets it together, and quick.
• vball10set

  6-4 bottom of the 2nd
