they didn't get done playing until about 9p

last night… its doubtful that they’d be at the park in Cleveland yet. If they had plans to fly out yesterday to join the club they wouldn’t have remained in the Rainiers game. So the decision to fly them would have come sometime today, contacting-coordinating-and flying them there probably wouldn’t have gotten them to the game by now.

Because we can’t seem to get 1/3 through the 8th without removing the only hope we have.

Beltre is so unclutch.

Actually he’s on pace for like 30 HR and 65 RBI with a .940 OPS for the season. Sucks how things are without runners on ahead of you.
