Eephus's son, BTW.

 

[the moops]

thats a HR

 

[shuke]

Why do they continue to show the fan?

 

[Michael Brown]

Why do they continue to show the fan?

Trying to create a Bartman storyline if the Reds rally

 

[Raider Nation]

Rooting for some runs here. Zero drama in this game.

That's what I'm assuming, but it just seems so irresponsible.

 

[collective]

Seriously thought that the Reds would win that game last night mainly because the Pirates had beaten them the last three games of the season and thought that they would go in a little over-confident.

 

[[icon]]

Crazy stat of the day...

Red Sox have gone from -72.0 Run Differential in 2012 (24th best) to +197 in 2013 (MLB Best).

Thats a fairly significant swing... wow.

 

[collective]

Cleveland is only eight runs behind them... Definitely explains the turn around for both squads...

 

[Raider Nation]

This stadium is shakin!

Let's do this.

[gump]

Reminds of those awesome Indians teams of the 90s.

 

[Michael Brown]

Can there EVER be a game where TBS doesn't have some sort of technical difficulty? I'm hearing every pitch hit the glove twice on the audio, I assume this is for everyone?

 

[pollardsvision]

Salazaar. Gas.

 

[Premier]

WTF is with this sound?

 

[pollardsvision]

Sounds fine to me.

Sounds fine to me.

Can I come watch at your place then? This is the most distracting thing ever

 

[Limp Ditka]

Sound is awful. Like being in an airplane

 

[Premier]

Ba bump

Ba bump

Ba bump

Sure. Got plenty of Turkey and PBR.

I'm not hearing every pitch hit the glove twice, but the sound is a little weird.

 

[pollardsvision]

Nevermind. Heard it that time.

Maybe the HP Ump was listening to the TV broadcast too when he though he heard the Swisher K hit the ground first.

 

[Raider Nation]

Didn't notice it until you guys mentioned it. NOW it's annoying.

So... thanks.

 

[Michael Brown]

Well, the good thing is now I only hear the glove hit once.

On the downside, I'm hearing the ball hit the glove when it's about halfway to home plate.

 

[Limp Ditka]

Delmon!

 

[Michael Brown]

One playoff AB, down one bottom 9...Delmon Young, or Reggie Jackson?

 

[Doctor Detroit]

Delmon!

He's pretty much completely useless unless you can DH him, and it's October. Uncanny how hot he gets in the playoffs.

 

[Premier]

It's still weird seeing Delmon back in a Rays jersey.

 

[pollardsvision]

He really should wait and just sign one-year contracts with a new team every Oct. 1st.

He'd end up making a great living just working October every year.

 

[Raider Nation]

Delmon!

Big Rays fan tonight, are we?

 

[Michael Brown]

Delmon!

Big Rays fan tonight, are we?

He's just caught up in Del-Mania, like the rest of America

 

[Premier]

Good lord Giambi looks like he's in his mid-50s.

Hey now

 

[Raider Nation]

Cobb is really, REALLY good. Almost untouchable. No way he can blow this.

 

[Premier]

#### you man.

 

[Raider Nation]

Seriously, it was cute of the Indians to show up for their fans, but it's pointless.

 

[Limp Ditka]

Dez! Making up for being a waste of space on my fantasy team for 22 of the 26 weeks of the year

 

[pollardsvision]

Salazar missed pretty bad there.

 

[Raider Nation]

Bang-bang play.

 

[Premier]

Whew

 

[pollardsvision]

Wow. Double plays don't get much bigger than that.

 

[Premier]

Cobb busted his ### to first. God bless him.

 

[Raider Nation]

Air..... OUT of the building.

 

[Eephus]

Alex Cobb is the second best Cobb in baseball history.

George Cobb lost 37 games in his only season for the 1892 Baltimore Orioles. Joe Cobb drew a walk in his only plate appearance for the 1918 Tigers. Herb Cobb gave up 4 ER in 1 IP for the 1929 Browns.

 

[Raider Nation]

George Cobb lost 37 games in his only season for the 1892 Baltimore Orioles.

Did you try to remain supportive of him despite his difficulties?

 

[Doctor Detroit]

Good lord Giambi looks like he's in his mid-50s.

I had no idea he interviewed for the Rockies managerial job.

All the "experts" say he'll be a manager within three years, he's that locked in.

 

[Doctor Detroit]

Slowest guy in baseball just tried to steal a base.

 

[Raider Nation]

I CAN'T BELIEVE MOLINA GOT THROWN OUT!!!

 

[Eephus]

Slowest guy in baseball just tried to steal a base.

...with predictable results

 

[Doctor Detroit]

He'd end up making a great living just working October every year.

I don't understand why more playoff-bound teams didn't have interest in him (maybe they did but doubt it). I think his days with the Tigers were over because of his personality and all that went on, but he's definitely a guy I'd bring in for September and October. Rays are smarter than almost everyone else once again.
