[You Play to Win the Game]

Adley might as well save his arm and not bother throwing.

[fishteacher]

Burnes needs to come up with a sidestep…not use it every pitch but keep them honest. Adley doesn’t have a prayer.

[TwentyThirtyFive]

Cleveland basically telegraphed that stolen base. Adley is a liability in controlling the run game.

They are stealing on Burnes who sucks at holding runners

[BSLSteveBirrer]

Adley just took one in a really bad spot

This team does none of the little things well. Not fundamental. All on the coaching staff.

Correct. Or they really suck at scouting and developing or don't care and only look at hitting.

I don't believe that for a second

Neither do I but there is no denying that this team is pretty weak fundamentally.

[BaltBird 24]

I mean, Gunnar/Jackson/Cowser/Mullins/Mountcastle should all be plus defenders. Westburg/Urias/Santander at least average guys.

[TwentyThirtyFive]

You cant win consistently if they D is gonna be this bad. Its just sad

I repeat

[BaltBird 24]

Should have put that in his pocket. Kwan wasn't going to score.

[BSLSteveBirrer]

Like THAT. Don't throw the dang ball there.

[TwentyThirtyFive]

Idiot making that throw to first

[BaltBird 24]

Just not smart defensively.

[JoyinMudville]

I can't remember the last time I've seen these guys play a clean game defensively

[fishteacher]

Ugh….just eat it and get the next out. Dumbass.

[TwentyThirtyFive]

Its the coaches not demanding more. Stupidity too. Cant teach Burnes to not throw the ball there. Just basehall IQ. But his lack of holding runners is fundamental

[TwentyThirtyFive]

Mayo lost

[BSLSteveBirrer]

So the ump screwed us out of a run and we gave away one. So instead of 4-1 it's 3-2.

And they are. This is just bizarre.
