Not hurt, just kind of stunk it up.

But he only gave up run, and it was only the first inning! Sounds like Tito panicked?

Mike Clevinger pitching for Cleveland HOU CLE
Springer struck out swinging. 0 0
Bregman walked. 0 0
Altuve doubled to deep center, Bregman scored, Altuve thrown out at third attempting to advance on play. 1 0
Correa struck out swinging.

What am I missing here? He struck out 2, but gave up one run on a walk and a double, and he's done for the night???

in the second he gave up a double, got a couple outs, but walked a guy....then they brought Manship in to get the final out. Announcers didn't say anything about him being hurt.

PARTY AT NAPOLI'S!

Shaw is the 6th pitcher in 7 innings.....one out bases loaded

allows a run. 2 outs runners at 2nd&3rd

And here comes number 7. I don't usually criticize Francona, but he seems to be blowing the bullpen on a game that we will most likely not win. And it's not a "must-win" situation.

Actually the announcers said at start of game that Clevinger probably wouldn't go too long tonight and this was going to be a "bullpen game". So I think plan all along was to get a lot of guys work. But don't know why Shaw, he just pitched. And was every bit as bad that time.

Anderson should be the last one. Unless something happens in the bottom of the 8th and we score 4 runs....I don't get that feeling tonight though.

Assuming of course they don't score 4 more runs right here.

Nope Giving Tomlin some work

So do they charge full admission for a "bullpen game?"

LOL ... Yeah, I would imagine so...

Still, I would assume they expected to get more out of Clevinger than they did.

I used to not agree with you, Baron, when you ranted on Shaw, but I gotta say, I am now in the mood to kick him in the nuts.

Me? Rant? No way.

He is a bum though.

Speaking of which, they are all bums the last 2 nights.
