Please Merritt be good
Twins win btw
How is his delivery not a balk?
>>76600832
Because he does it every time. If he were inconsistent about when he lifted his leg then you could probably call foul.
>>76600862
I mean people want Clevinger's delivery to be a ball and he doesn't even lift his leg
>Zimmer getting a hit on a lefty
He cannot be flimflammed
How is ZImmer not an every day player yet?
Nice start again!
If we win today we're tied with the twins right?

>>76601061
In the Central or the season series with them? We're already up on the season and if we win today that's two and puts us in first
>>76601152
Nice, thought we were still 1 game behind, thanks.
anyone got a stream? batmanstream.com is down atm
>>76601152
If the Tribe sweeps today, they take a 1 game lead in the division. If it's a split, Twins stay a game up. If they sweep, then the Tribe falls 3 back.
>>76601177
We have a doubleheader today. We're one game back of them
Always difficult to choose between watching the game or listening to hammy

Watch it muted with hammy playing
>>76601337
yeah but it's not synced at all. There is like a 2 minute difference. Don't know if that is normal or it is because I live in the Netherlands.
My stream doesnt allow me to go 2 minutes behind live.
Day-night double headers are dumb. Classic doubleheaders are awesome.
>>76601406
You could probably pause one stream and let the other catch up.
What are you doing Merrit
STOP WALKING EDWIN
>this game
Offense keeping our AAAA tier starter in the game, hope for more of the same in game 2
Probably should go to the bullpen soon, though might be difficult if we play the 2nd game.
>>76602806
It might get rained out or delayed from what I saw earlier.

Well, he's 40 now, right? May be time to get out of Detroit and hang it up.

Who's that left hand side-armed pitcher on the Indians? I remember seeing him a few weeks ago.
Sidearm? You are it isn't a 3/4 delivery??
>>76604535
It might of been. He's a real tiny dude.
There are only a few LHP relievers on the staff. Boone Logan, Andrew Miller, and Kyle Crockett get the most reps. Maybe Shawn Morimando, but he hasn't been called up yet this season.
>>76604573
Sounds like Kyle Crockett. He's 6' but only about 150 lbs
>>76604581
>>76604593
>Kyle Crockett
That's him. I was watching one Trever Baurs practice videos from spring and I was wondering who that was.
>>76604628
Yeah, he was drafted in the 4th round in 2013 and was called up pretty fast the next year (I think it was the first home series). He did a decent job for a rookie. Since then he's been up and down from AAA to MLB to save his options. He doesn't have anything overpowering. His fastball might touch 90 on a good day. Good curve and slider though. Good
Movement, poor velocity.
