Naquin a leadoff walk!

Beat plate appearance of the day so far...

Bieber is just another example of how impressive of an operation The Indians have with regard to pitching.


Fourth round pick and he becomes a Cy Young winner. And he’s far from the only example of guys they either drafted in the later rounds or acquired in trades as minor leaguers who wound up being excellent starting pitchers.


Hopefully The Reds are starting to make a name for themselves in that regard too. A guy like Tejay Antone still has a lot to prove but he’s looking pretty good and was a 5th round pick.

I wanted to trade Scooter Gennett for Double A Bieber and some people got mad at me for that idea.

Was a big worry of mine when he came out in Spring Training and said “I’m gonna hit 50 home runs”.

I wish he’d focus on hitting singles, the homers will come.

Hitting 49 homers a couple years ago might’ve been the worst thing that could happen to Geno

Bieber-Miley sounds more like a bad concert than an awesome pitching matchup.

I do hate those last minute time calls.


I still blame Cueto’s injury in 2012 on that.

Bieber has shown a couple of examples today that he can get a little flustered. Maybe step out on him a bit more?

Miley Cyrus is very talented.

The other woman in the photo is not.

No green light

Four pitch walk to Barnhart


Come on Farmer, hit one over the mountains...

[Coopdaddy67]

Green lighting Tucker Barnhart on 3-0 made me choke on my water.

[757690]

Bieber scared of Tucker

Much better inning no matter the outcome - getting his pitch count up early given Bieber had 113 in his last outing is important.

Bieber missing all over the place

I checked Naquin history with CLE and expected Reggie Taylor numbers. Then I see his 2 seasons with his most AB. 2016 321 AB. 296/372/514 with 14 HR. 2019 with 274 AB 10 HR. 288/325/467. This isn’t some bad hitter that’s getting playing time. Senzel may be the better prospect but he’s not doing much better then Naquin. Long term Senzel has to play when healthy.

Bieber quakes in fear in the face of the mighty Kyle Farmer
