Okay, bullpen game coming up this weekend on Saturday against the Tribe. You're the manager, what would you do? My idea: 1st-2nd: Graterol. Show them high octane right away. 3rd-5th: Thorpe or Smeltz, maybe Hildy 2nd time through for change of pace. 6th: Duffy 7th: May 8th: Romo 9th: Rodgers Got to win one in Cleveland. If you have to mix and match the entire game fricken do it.

Graterol with a scoreless inning. His ERA is 9, but it would be 0 if we played with a 2nd baseman when he pitched against Cleveland.

Brother in law is a big Braves fan hoping for Nats losses and asked what to expect from Perez tonight. I said five innings and five runs likely.....and whattya know..... Gibby.....just five innings.....just five.....two runs or less......please?

That's a big win. Cleveland all over the Mike Trout less Angels at the moment. Cleveland likely will sweep that series with the Angels having mailed it in.

Berrios the story. Hopefully that wasn't a one time thing that happens for every starter from time to time. Perez tomorrow with a rested pen, liked how he attacked the Red Sox, hope he can give them a chance tomorrow.

Are we so thin we can't run for Schoop? (Probably)

Its my fault that "Sioux Suck" is chanted on a soccer field in Frisco Texas.....makes sense.....

Finally.....finally......sit offspeed react to the fastball......boom. Huge start Berrios.

Washington....yeah.... Cleveland they scratch out one. Chicago.....yeah..... I think they sweep KC Detroit......yeah KC.....last series playing a bunch of minor leaguers......2-1. Gives them 12 wins.

Completely agree. They have a rough stretch coming up this week. Three with the Nats, then the tribe with Bieber and Clevinger in Cleveland. After that its basically down hill, but a 3-3 week would be huge.

He needs to buckle up his chin strap and regain form, like you said. The team needs quality starts, or hey, how about a CG????

Knew today would be tough. Not much you can do when the injuries start to pile on. We have our AAA pitchers going against Clevinger and that lineup.....yeah...... Lose a game, but Cleveland only gained one game in three days trying to make up ground.

Okay, next question. Moving forward, is Bubba the guy?

Zero place for this at a football game.....zero.

#4 is terrible......stupid.....whoever gave that to the bird or if the bird did that himself.....wow. I support both sports but it just makes the line in the sand that there is between the two much sports that much thicker......

Looks like a bullpen game tomorrow.....day off Monday. Won't guess what it's going to look like until Cleveland posts their lineup tomorrow before game time. Available lefties: Thorpe, Rodgers, Smeltzer. Available righties: Dobnack, Duffy, Graterol, May, Stashak, Littell. If it hits the fan: Hildy, Harper, Romero, Stewart. Guessing Dyson and Romo are for sure no goes.

If I hadn't gotten tossed for that one, the missed balk would have done it.

I used to manage high school ball and I would have absolutely lost it on Laz for that entire sequence.......thrown bases, etc.....calling a TO while the ball is outside the skin???? Are you bleeping kidding me??? Huge credit to Rocco for not getting tossed.

If I'm Rocco I go to Duffy one batter earlier. Two walks by Ode, he is leaving the ball up and Puig just all over that elevated fast ball. Twins in one of those terrible hitting streaks that you have to be overly careful and try to keep the league.

So today with Perez up we have a 2nd baseman in a normal spot......Ode pitching...... I need to drink more.....

Was it your mom or dad? You were told to clean the basement.

Name three FCS teams other than SDSU, JM, and Northern Iowa that do?

You're my football guru, if Kett is healthy does he go or do we ride out Zimm?

I don't think Freund called a terrible game. A couple plays Zim let his WRs down. Nice to see some movement and jet sweep action. Running read option with Zim isn't going to work. If the LBs go with the running back he isn't fast enough to make a play with his feet. Better team won by a lot. Now for the "Butler's better comments".

Did JJ get hurt?
