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.
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
I was for pulling Nimmo rather than Marte -- even though Nim's spot in the lineup would be up sooner and even though I called Marte a defensive liability earlier in the season -- mainly to get three good arms out there in case it came down to a potential game-tying and/or -winning hit. Right move by Mendoza IMO

Well, that and getting blanked from the 3rd thru the 8th vs the back end of their pen. Really though, the Dodgers hit very little hard. The Muncy HR obviously, that ball that sent Nimmo to the track, an early liner to Marte, and Freddie's funky hop off the mound that Iglesies flubbed. Edman was the only guy with hits and he essentially just hit rollers or floaters that found holes. But oh those fuckin' walks!
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
Anybody remember my 'Even the wins are hard' thread from late May or there abouts? I think it still applies, even in games with 2nd inning grand slams.
