Tyler Naquin 3-4 with a walk tonight. I think every hit has been an RBI hit too. Something like 4 RBI tonight. Kinda hard to keep track at this point.

19-2 in the 7th.

And of course I'm on at an MLB black out because you know 5 hours away is local viewing.

Listening to the radio for the 3rd and 4th inning on the way was pleasant.

I am 8 hours away and blacked out, but can get the pirates!

After we lead 20! Edwin hit a solo homer and Lindo scored on a single by Jose, who was caught stealing.

I keep waiting for an opposing manager to ask for one of Jose or Lindor's bats.

All we need is Jason Grimsley to be the cat burglar.

well we scored more against Severino than I had expected, and the rest of the Yankees starters are beatable, but we better get leads early because we're not going to win a battle of the bullpens

Hmm, showcasing?


Shane Bieber - S - Indians
Indians optioned RHP Shane Bieber to Triple-A Columbus.

This is only being done as a procedural move to allow the Indians to have an extra bench bat for a couple of days until the All-Star break. Bieber will be back and remain in the Indians' rotation following the break. The 23-year-old hurler has done a nice job in his first seven starts, going 5-1 with a 3.53 ERA, 1.34 WHIP and 42/8 K/BB ratio over 43 1/3 innings.

Francisco Mejia - DH - Indians
Indians recalled C/OF Francisco Mejia from Triple-A Columbus.

Mejia is in the Indians' lineup on Saturday, serving as the designated hitter and batting sixth. He's only expected to remain with the club until the All-Star break

They does roster moves around All Star game every year.

Huge win today. Bauer continues to amaze - the best 8-6 pitcher ever.

And sure was a luxury having Carrasco out of the bullpen!

Good point about Carlos coming out of the bullpen. Again, I think that with the young arms we have, I push Salazar into the pen to make room for the kids in the starting rotation. As Carlos is 31, I could also see trading him in the off season for needs.

I think Carrasco could make a really good reliever; would they consider him as the closer in 2019?
Unfortunately I'm not counting on Salazar for anything.

RBI single for Yandy in 2nd inning to tie it up. Play the man.

Kipnis with 2 run shot to give us the lead. Man, would it be nice if he got it going the second half.

Bauer didn’t have his curveball early and got smacked around. But found it after giving up 3. Hopefully he can hold it there.

Hey. There was a better at bat by Roberto Perez too. He struck out on 5 pitches instead of 3 or 4.
