Please Merritt be good

Twins win btw

How is his delivery not a balk?

Because he does it every time. If he were inconsistent about when he lifted his leg then you could probably call foul.

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?

Can he play baseball with a bad eye?

>tfw I recorded every postseason radio broadcast
>tfw I drunkenly deleted them all after Game 7
>tfw no record of the Merritt Game

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

Nice, thought we were still 1 game behind, thanks.

anyone got a stream? batmanstream.com is down atm

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.

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

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.

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.

It might get rained out or delayed from what I saw earlier.

DL and hospital with irregular heartbeat

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

SHAQ

Shawesome

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??

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.

Sounds like Kyle Crockett. He's 6' but only about 150 lbs

>Kyle Crockett

That's him. I was watching one Trever Baurs practice videos from spring and I was wondering who that was.

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.

WINDIANS

Back at it again in a few hours if the rain holds off
