Yu Chang with a nice single to right.. keeps the hope alive..
...and it's not to be for the night.. the bats couldn't deliver..
JC Mejia had a good starting debut.. that's a positive.. but.
onto tomorrow's matinee

I know this Indians team makes a lot of pitchers look better than they actually are, but Tanner looked like the goods to me.

Horrible game at the dish. Letting Akin throw five shutout innings when he was throwing 90-91 fastballs right down the middle? Unbelievable.
And then scoring one run in four innings off their bullpen while swinging at every pitch they saw? That 8th inning was embarassing. Amed struck out swinging at back-to-back pitches in the dirt. Josie struck out chasing a back foot slider on an 0-2 pitch. Did Josie really think he was going to get a strike on an 0-2 count? Not a chance, but he swung anyway. Then Harold struck out on a breaking ball in the dirt. Even Underwood couldn't believe it.
Absolutely zero plate discipline.
The Indians were robbed on that home run. I have no idea how they could justify letting that stand. Two fans were well over the wall and knocked Rosario's glove away as he reached for the ball. I suppose they figured there was no way to prove he would have caught the ball without interference so they let it go.
Ridiculous. Rosario was attempted to catch the ball, he had a chance to catch it, and he was clearly interfered with by at least one fan leaning well into the field of play.
But the real culprits were the Indians hitters who chased bad pitches and couldn't hit anything right down the middle, not even 90 mph fastballs.

The upside is that Mejia was terrific, allowing only one hit in 3 innings, actually 3.1 since he allowed a runner to reach when he failed to cover first base properly. He got 10 outs while allowing one hit and walking one. He only threw 50 pitches.
The Tribe hitters struck out 10 times while walking once as they spent the whole game flailing at pitches out of the zone. 8 hits and a walk produced one run. Another game where they failed to get a hit with RISP.
Obviously it's not a good idea to let Shaw go three games without pitching. He lost the strike zone and threw away the win, with help from the umpires and fans.
Sandlin is really impressing me - a sidearmer with 94-96 heat and a 79 mph slider with a big break.

From the angle on mlb tv. I couldn't tell for sure if the fans actually leaned over the wall. It looked like Rosario was leaping into the crowd.
The pitch Shaw threw was a nice slow curve down and away. Sometimes the hitter should get credit. with that said, as good as Shaw has been, he now has 17 walks in 21 innings. Just a matter of time before he gets hurt.
