Guardians don't score in top one



Carlos Rodon vs [CROSSOUT]Godzilla[/CROSSOUT] 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

[metirish]

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.

[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.

[Fman99]

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.

But Noel's hr off Weaver was the thing of legends

[metirish]

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.

I was taught not to make fun of the afflicted.

But that doesn't mean it wasn't funny.

Later

The yanx aren't playing particularly well in this series. They've been picked off multiple times; Gleyber Torres failed to run on a 2-out 3-2 pitch and also didn't move on a bloop that fell for a hit in short RF.



But the Guardians are rivaling the Metscfor RiSP ineptitude (at least prior to the late inning blitz yesterday) so the yanx were twice a batter away from a sweep.

[Edgy MD]

Kay seems to be killing them over their baserunning.

Yep and rooting for a Mets/Guardians WS has been exasperating. They both need to come alive

Oh if it works out I may just have to bring back the Sterling + Waldman KTE one more time. These two old crustaceans
