[Wham with the Right Hand]

Hedgie with another wedgie!

Chang strikes again!!!

 

[xmasbuck]

Santana x 2 keeping hedges close

Yu comes thru!

hoohoohoo

 

[CavsFanJapan]

Bottom of the order comes through. Lets hope the Royals don't do the same.

 

[CATS44]

From Rule Five to closing in the eleventh inning....

 

[Wham with the Right Hand]

Rule 5 goes for the save against the bottom of the order.

 

[sportscoach]

Do you really need a platoon for the buffet at Golden Corral?

Well if ya have two right handers sitting next to each other the elbows will collide and both will be out...

 

[Criznit]

pretty fun game tonight. frustrating at times but lots of "drama" and timely hits.

 

[Benway]

Intense!

pretty fun game tonight. frustrating at times but lots of "drama" and timely hits.

We just need a couple guys who can hit with peeps on... If we can figure that in 22, this team will be one to beat.

 

[CavsFanJapan]

Windians! LOL!! Good game!

 

[Benway]

First professional save for Stephan.

Edit: In all fairness, he had made only 4 professional relief appearances prior to '21.

 

[Wham with the Right Hand]

Wow! Stephan is the new Karinchak! Only he throws harder and has much, much better command.

Do we own the Royals or what? 10 in a row!

Lots of heroes tonight, but especially Chang with another home run and double, Hentges with the key go-ahead RBI, and Parker getting through the heart of their batting order with the bases loaded and nobody out.

Allen had another good outing with 6.2 innings and 2 earned runs. We'll take that from our #6 starter every time.

Give credit to the front office. They found Parker and they found Stephan. Between Clase, Karinchak, Stephan, and Sandler we have the makings of a dominant bullpen next year. Maybe Parker and Shaw have another year in them.

 

[xmasbuck]

stand still Austin

 

[Wham with the Right Hand]

Chang looks so comfortable at the plate right now. He's not chasing anything out of the zone. He's pulling the breaking balls and hitting the fastballs to right field. They need to put him at second base every day and see if he can keep this going.

The look on Hedges' face after Stephan struck out Dozier was priceless.

This was Hale's best game yet. He pushed all the right buttons. He might be getting the hang of this.

 

[CATS44]

TMac pitches tomorrow.

The we go to Boston behind Quantrill, Morgan, and Plesac.

Then it will probably be Civale, instead of Hentges.

Then the question...

Do we go with a six man rotation....do we leave Morgan in...or do we go with Allen?
