Game 62 - Sun Jun 19 - CLE (33-28) at LAR (40-23) first pitch 4:10 pm.  Beiber (3-3) versus  Heaney (1-0)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~    ⚾    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~          Play ball on getaway day,  OFF MON,  Twins Tuesday.   

Bieber back home should be a good one.  
 

Big game here as a series win vs. a WS contender would be a huge confidence boast for this young team.  Arguably the biggest game of the season thus far.  

...... CLE 1-0 bottom 2.  CLE small bal run in top of 2nd.

...... 2-2 top 6.  Oscar G. HR #1.  LAD pitcher to showers. Beiber looks good. End 6 and 9 Ks.

...... 2-2 bottom 7. Beiber 6.1 9Ks 98 pitches quality game.  Morgan in.

...... CLE 5-3 bottom 9. CLE playing small !  Jose wanted in, no. Attendance a quiet 53,053.

... ✔️... CLE 5-3 FINAL !  YES !  What a game. Down 1 going to MIN Tuesday.  Oh yeah 2-1 vs LAD.

[SdBacker80]

Awesome Game.  Very exciting team this year…they play hard and they play sound baseball. ...oh yes !   They are coming together and it's only just  June 19.

We have the best manager and the most valuable player in baseball.  The rest of baseball can Debate it all they want.  Franconia the longest tenured manager in MLB,  awesome. 
 

we didn’t have the best player but we executed better than what I think is the best team in the NL ... Jose was chomping at the bit in the 9th to play BUT he ended up with a needed 3 day rest.

What a team of young guns, and fun to watch.

I never thought I'd hear that   -but-  Gimenez may be the best AL second baseman and belongs in the AS Game.

Gimenez > Robbie Alomar ???    Might be soon.  

LET’S GO TRIBE  !
