Why can't they just play these west coast games at 7pm EST and then tape delay it for the west coast crowds to enjoy later?

A little odd but Gimenez sits for Freeman PT ... but we face 3 righties in SD series -- will come on Sat in Ariz (but still after off day?)

Gimi left the game on Sunday with "tightness" in his leg.. This looks like an "..out of an abundance of caution.." kind of move... that and no one else in the starting lineup's BA starts with a 3....

Have they announced anywhere if he's day to day or something worse?
 
Great to see Naylor in the lineup. I was worried that he screwed up his wrist and would be out for a while.

This is going to be a tough series.

Musgrove has allowed two runs in his last three starts.

Wacha has allowed five runs in his last seven starts!!!

Davish has a 2.68 ERA in Petco.

And the ball park is the toughest in the majors to score in.

Gonna be a lot of zeroes in the line score. If the Guardians can score 10 runs in this series I will be impressed.

Cleveland needs to focus on gap hitting, which is honestly what they are usually good at anyways. I don't think they will struggle scoring if they stay with contact and taking pitches...
 
In the bottom of the seventh, the Twins trail Milwaukee 5-2.
 
In theory, Petco should favor our brand of offensive baseball.

In theory....
 
Tanner Bibee grew up about an hour away from Petco.. he should have his own rooting section in the stands tonight.. This should be a GOOD Game.. every pitch will count.. Hopefully, Bibee's fastball command is there tonight.. if it is.. good for the Guards...
