It’s time for Charlie Morton to rise to the occasion in the second inning.

Cleveland Guardians looking at the scoreboard and hanging their heads.

KC is now the ankle biter in our division.  But, yes...

[HugoD]

Like they say, it’s often as much about when as it is who wrt to your opponent. This series was a good when

[lordstanley]

Looking good but still a lot of innings to play. No let up. 

[Sports_Freak]

Morton took a nap and is now rested.

Wow, I didn't notice KC overtaking Cleveland. They're coming in here kinda hot. I've been more focused on Seattle, Toronto and Houston.

[romad1]

catcher's interferrence?  Did Jake send the batter's girlfriend pictures of what he was doing at the nightclub last night?

Valdez is either going to be on lockdown this second inning or be pulled

Wild pitch and it’s four runs

Diaz is really bad back there. Doesn't move his body at all, just tries to glove everything.

[RatkoVarda]

frustrating batters by throwing wild pitches to take away RBI opportunities = the new Moneyball

[romad1]

Stealing bases with a 6 run lead against a team that hasn't scored in half a week. 

[chasfh]

Jahmai stealing with a six-run lead. Fifty-plus years ago he gets a fastball straight at his head first pitch next time up.

[romad1]

No runs!?

That’s some old school **** right there

[IdahoBert]

No runs in the second inning? None at all? FIRE HINCH!

The back-in-the-day stuff needs to stay there and not be sugar coated.    

[lordstanley]

Astros have a good chance to score here. Runner on 2nd with 0 outs, Correa up.

Of course, 50 years ago it would have been pretty unusual for 12 teams to score 6 runs or more in a game on the same day like happened yesterday.

[IdahoBert]

Valdez getting a little BABIP to offset things. But Dingler as DH doubles. 

[papalawrence]

Dingler with a dbl and triple and a chance at a cycle

[IdahoBert]

Baez bonesaw RBI

[romad1]

Javy with some good ABs today. 

[papalawrence]

Just when I start thinking Javy's magic run is ending, he produces. 

[romad1]

prediction:  Jake has 2 hits in the remainder of this game.  He seems to have been the anchor thus far.
