The next nobody lined up to give them fits....

This kid..... holding a 1.0 ERA, .72 WHIP, and 1K per inning in three pro starts....his only ER was a sac fly to Minnesota....93mph FB

I have a feeling he will give em' fits.....

Fernando Tatis Jr's season may be over... really tough break for him. He's been phenomenal this year and probably would have won NL RoY if he'd finished the season out.

Hope injuries don't bog his career down. He's one of the most exciting players in the game right now.

that's brutal. In a year some some awesome rookies, he was the most impressive i watched.

Let's hope we get the real Tanaka tonight. His last outing was a delight.

Agreed. There's been so much hype surrounding Vlad Jr. - and for the most part, rightfully so.

But, to date (and it's a very small sample, so it's probably not indicative of too much) - I was much more impressed by Tatis. He's a much deeper player. He can steal bases, he fields really well, he hits for average and he has plenty of power. He's a more rounded player.

Vlad will likely become a big time slugger. But most of his value is going to come with the stick. I don't see him surviving at 3B long-term - he's probably a future 1B/DH. Huge kid.

The issue with Vlad is his girth. With Prince Fielder still fresh in my mind, I hope Vlad Jr. get really serious about conditioning.

More Cleveland broadcast for me tonight. I blame Flaherty for the team's performance last night.

I'm very much okay blaming John for last night... he's the worst.

Let's go bats!

That was MUCH better.

Nice easy 9 pitch first. A complete 180 from last nights top of the first.

Judge gets a hit. Keep building...

this is a hit:

with a magic wand right now. Everything must drop!

Staying hot.

fought off an inside pitch and muscled it to RF.

1-0

Small ball baby!

2-0

2-0

Fuck eh.

Smart baseball

I love Cam. He's been such a shot in the arm for this team and he's loving every second of being here. Great guy to have on the team this year. His mother has been a very inspirational story, too.

Bad AB and bad decision to tag up. Puig has a gun.

"this is going to be fun".

Brutal send there Nevin.

Gotta know your opponent. Sending Maybin against Puig's arm was a losing proposition.

Keep it up Naka..

Judge just missed it and Allen with a great grab in CF.

Tanaka is looking good

They're not working the count as much as they probably should have. For how many people have gotten on, this kid's pitch count should be a lot higher.

2 out double. Let's get a two out rally now

is damn lucky tonight.

with another hit. There is a shortlist of assholes that just seem to always have our number.

Tough inning, but no damage. Good stuff by Naki.

Urshela stays hot.

3-1

Naka is cruising

what a joke

pulling Tanaka at 83? pitches... He did look like he lost it though.

Respect Booney for doing that.

Now it's on the pen to hold it.

but can't complain.

One more please

91 and movement. Got him out in front.

1-2 count

2-2

Kahnle strikes out both guys. Strands the runner at second.

Big hold

guys. Come on DJ.
