So I take a look at the pbp for tonight's game and discover Kyle Crockett ! pitching relief in the 2nd after McAllister struck out the side in the First and then gave up 8 runs in the 2nd. And Jesus Aguillar has come in to play 3rd?! base.
Is this an ESPN April Fools Joke?

13487That really is Kyle Crockett!
Left-hander Kyle Crockett had his contract selected from Double-A Akron. Crockett, taken in the fourth round of last season's draft, is the first member of that class to make it to the majors. He had six saves and allowed one run in 15 2-3 innings at Akron.
He was touched for a homer by Lowrie in his 1 2/3 innings. But a nice job of player selection and development with Kyle.

13490Very little went right, final was 13-3. Swisher now batting 6th was hitless and drops below .200. He adds another error. Chisenhall with a wild throw. Santana, batting 7th in the "big shakeup" also hitless and contributes a passed ball.
Kyle Crockett 1 1/3 scoreless.
Masterson may wish he had accepted the Indians' contract offer.

13491Tribe game on ESPN tonight. My paper says Kluber but I thought Bauer was going tonight.

13493Well, that first pitch to Victor Martinez sums up this season in a nutshell. Cabrera doubles so we settle for an intentional walk to Martinez. WILD PITCH!. Yes folks! The pitch sailed over Gomes head. Cabrera to third. WoW!

13494Looks like the offense is going to suck away another gem by Kluber. We should have at least a 5-run lead if these guys could hit a baseball.

13497Nice walk off homer by brantly....when they scored at the top of the ninth I thought it was over. We needed a fighting win like this after what happened against the A's. what was it outscored 30 - 5 for the series?
Be polite, be professional, but have a plan to kill everyone you meet.

13498Way back when LaPorta was floundering about in Venezuela, I made mention of the fact that Brantley would be the key player in the Sabathia trade and not LaPorta. Wow! What a player he is turning out to be. Brantley has to hit cleanup. He's the only reliable and steady hitter we have beside Chisenhall. Bat Chisenhall 3 and Brantley 4.

13499Bench Santana......I think he left 7 men on the bases tonight.

13500What an ugly game to watch. Brantley's homer trumped the otherwise terribly played ballgame.
