[Stark]

Let's get three.

Crazy how that Twins lineup still isn't hiring despite all that talent.

Let's get three.

Gettin' greedy already. I'll take 2.

 

[Real Deal]

Looking forward to seeing our catchers get some hits.

0-1

Gomes got a hit on a solid swing! Let's see him do it again!

 

[sportscoach]

This was a good inning for the Indians hitters even though it was only two runs! Gomes had a nice single and EE got a hit with a runner I'm scoring position. We need easy swings and small ball since it helps ease the pressing!

 

[Real Deal]

2-1, Gomes got a hit, Lindor slugs a double, Edwin got a rbi knock. Let this be the game where the other guys snap out of it.

We are hoping. I don't even care about EE hitting a HR, I just want to see good swings when people are on. The RBIs and HRs will come from good at bats for the guys, not from trying for the runs.

I'm still in awe that Gomes got a hit.

Shoulda been two hits for Yan.

That was not an error.

It should have been a hit, but at least it was too solid swings. He just needs solid swings so he can start getting to get into an easy groove. His HR the other day was an excuse me swing HR. He has to remember to relax and let his training do the swing rather than force it. Both hits today we're easy swings not looking to do too much.

Brantley got HR! Where are the peeps tonight so I am not like the only one commenting
