It’s Nunez

[longgame]

It would be embarrassing if they had to load all that champagne back on the plane to Cleveland.

[longgame]

Long inning, one run.  At least they got Tanaka to throw 30 pitches.

[Schloicka]

31 pitches but only 1 run scored. Yanks will take that.

[Schloicka]

29 pitches for E-rod. Wondering why he keeps throwing the ball just inside off the plate to right handers? Not being called a strike and no one is swinging at it. Costing him a lot of pitches.

[markj]

What a crappy AB for Benintendi.

[Schloicka]

3-0 Sox. Hope the ump is going to start given E-Rod that low outside pitch. Ump screwed up both Vaz & Beni by calling them strikes when they obviously were not.

[markj]

E-Rod knew that was gone a soon as it was hit.

[Schloicka]

Voit has been hotter then hell and you throw him a cookie right down the middle. And to compound the problem you walk Sanchez before the HR who swings at anything. Terrible pitching after your team gets you a couple runs.

[markj]

Holt showing some serious power. What a blast.
