A Bloo Bloo Jays

8:18

Holy cow

Dave Cameron

8:19

I don't think you can do that anymore?

Eno Sarris

8:19

Hah, after those smoked balls a 78 mph ball straight up in the air (xBA .158) drives one in.

anonymous

8:19

Catcher was blocking the plate

8:19

Did he give Zobrist a path to the plate? Or am I misunderstanding the rule?

Ryan

8:20

Looked like he wanted to slide

desertfox9139

8:20

someone has to warming up right?

Dave Cameron

8:21

No, you have to get some innings from Tomlin tonight.

This isn't a must-win for Cleveland.

If you lose, and you save Miller/Allen, well, you got a great chance tomorrow.

Eno Sarris

8:21

@enosarris shouldn't MLB have a "team error" for plays like that as that is NOT a double.

desertfox9139

8:21

even with manship, mcallister, clevenger, merritt....

Dave Cameron

8:21

They aren't better than Tomlin.

Eno Sarris

8:21

I know some pitchers that want the team error to exist haha.

The Hamburglar

8:22

Tomlin seems to be hanging some of these curveballs

Guest

Cubs need to keep adding on so they can save Chapman for multiple innings in Game 7

Eno Sarris

8:22

Difference between a hanging curve and a curve thrown in the zone for a called strike is super hard to discern.

Dave Cameron

8:23

I think a blowout is actually better for CLE than a close loss.

Elbo

8:23

Why are they carrying all of those non-used pitchers instead of extra position players? No one worth adding to the roster?

Dave Cameron

8:23

No; they don't have enough good position players as is.

The Hamburglar

8:23

Indians still need to be patient with Arrieta? Force him to walk guys?

Dave Cameron

8:24

Given his stuff, no real reason to help him get you out. Take until you have to swing.

Eno Sarris

8:24

Especially since the slider command hasn't been there this year.

Lee

8:24

Dave, are you considering the psychological effect of a blowout on such shrinking violets as MLB players

Eno Sarris

8:24

They'd never get over it

Erik

8:24

Is August becoming a player or an owner?

Eno Sarris

8:25

Blew out his shoulder playing whiffleball with us so not that.

britishcub

8:25

so best scenario for cubs is a 3-0 win from here? make indians use guys they may not otherwise?

Dave Cameron

8:25

Maybe more like 4-0 with a late add-on that lets them save Chapman.

Guest

8:26

A close game causes Cubs to use good arms -- blow it out and play a close game tomorrow against double-short rest kluber

Dave Cameron

8:27

Cubs get Lester as a reliever tomorrow. Saving pen not as necessary for them.

Anthony

8:27

How big does the lead have to be in say, the 7th, that allows the Cubs to use Grimm and Edwards instead of Chapman/Rondon? 5? 6?

Dave Cameron

8:27

Rondon's the mopup guy now.

But probably 5+

Chalupa Batman

8:28

Do you agree with Rondon being the mopup guy now?

Dave Cameron

8:28

He's been atrocious since August. Hard to imagine he's healthy.

Eno Sarris

8:28

Hasn't been the same really since he came back from injury.

Lord above

8:28

Any chance we see Montgomery tonight? Feel like there's no scenario where he pitches tomorrow and he can eat innings.

Dave Cameron

8:28

Yeah, I think he's reliever #1 out of the pen tonight.

Lester makes him irrelevant tomorrow.
