Cleanup hitter Logan Morrison, avg 191, with a chance to tie it or end it. He's yet another lefty.

career vs Hand: 0=1

Make that 0-2. He whiffs on 3 pitches.

Hand that one to Brad

We were getting a whole raft of shutouts early in the season but not much lately. Once again we get a special break playing another diminished Central Division rival. This is not really great practice for the playoffs, but we can only take what they give us.

Yay! We win!

I will be at Fridays game.

who do we play then? One of these Central Division patsies or a real major league opponent?

True and we can take advantage by starting to rest guys (Brantley) who need it. And taking crazy amounts of time (Miller) for rehab assignments.

And waiting out the trade market even into August - like we did for getting Bruce last season.

It's just smart business.

Todays game was on Facebook Live. I didn't get a chance to watch cause I worked last night and came home and passed out. I wonder how that works? Does anybody with a Facebook account get to watch? Or is it a special service you have to pay for?

I guess I can't look forward to watching replay. Would have loved to see Carrasco today, darn it.

Hey Uncle Dennis ... I scrolled back to read about todays game and I saw your comment about Francona at casino. Some how I missed it the other day. ... Any way, no, I didn't mention Yandy. He was in a hurry so I didn't want to bother him. Matter of fact, my wife was the one that asked him if she could get a pic. I didn't even bother him for that. But if I did have time to talk to him I would have been asking him what the #@&! Roberto Perez has on him that keeps him on roster. Yandy would have come up next.

It was just on regular old Facebook - anyone with an account could have watched. I watched and just patched it into the tv off my laptop.

Hmmm, then I wonder if the replay might be available for me to watch. I'll check that out later. Thanks.

You can still watch the game!

If that link doesn't work just go to the MLB Live page on Facebook.

Yay!

I don't think there's a ballplayer in baseball that attacks the wall as much as Ramirez. I wish I could find a stat for hitting line drives off the walls. With a little more loft, he'd have close to 50 homers at this point in the year. I haven't seen a player hit so many balls as hard and as consistently as Ramirez. WoW!

I think we play the Angels Friday.
