  2. “I mean, I never heard anybody say ‘I’m going to Cleveland on vacation.’ What’s go good about Cleveland?”

  3. Hopefully just a days rest for Luis tmr. Nice comeback win, time to win the series tmr!

  4. If you told me this was Cease’s first win since April 10th, well, our record wouldn’t surprise me.

    Fuck Ramirez for breaking Kelly’s 34 consecutive batters retired streak! I respect how good the guy is though. Cleveland fans are lucky to have him.

  5. Really enjoyed not choking a bases loaded no outs situation. Thanks, Romy!

  6. TA hasn’t been swinging it well at all but the defense has been holding up nicely. Great team win even if the hitting was rough to start.

  7. Everyone in the game thread hating on Romy until he comes up with a game winning, bases loaded, two run double

  8. Tuesday night is frisbee night, so I didn’t get to see any of the game. Good to see a win for sure! How’d they look overall?

  9. Any word on when Hendriks will be pitching? Only caught a little of the game but I thought I saw him sitting in the bullpen.

  10. 5 1/2 games back with more than four full months left in the season. At least we’re still in the race, lol.

  11. Just when it looked hopeless the boys come through. When up 4-2 in 7th why not a squeeze bunt to get the 5th run?
