"Mejia is something of a modern-day Joe DiMaggio, plying his trade for the Lynchburg Hillcats of the high Class A Carolina League. The Cleveland Indians prospect now has a 49-game hitting streak that's tied for the sixth-longest in pro baseball history and the best in 62 years."
Hey, a catcher too.
He was one of the players that was going to be sent to Milwaukee in the Lucroy deal.
At DT, context and meaning are a scarecrow kicking at moving goalposts.
"First down inside the 10. A score here will put us in the Super Bowl. Jeudy is far to the left as Njoku settles into the slot. Tillman is flanked out wide to the right. Judkins and Ford are split in the backfield as Flacco takes the snap ... Here we go."
Mejia extended his hitting streak to 50 games last night in his final at bat with 2 out in the 9th. His hit was initially ruled an error but later officially scored as a double.
As for the Tribe, let's get the sweep today! Headed up with the family, hopefully the rain holds off.
Big day for a sweep (if the game gets in ... it's pouring right now)

Walked out of the room after Kipnis put us up 1-0 and then came back in the room with us down 3-1. What happened?
Bauer Happened, he and Tomlin are killing us every single time they pitch, Clevinger surprised me last night. good outing, if he continues to pitch well might be interesting to see what happens when salazar comes back, maybe bump one of the 2 out of the rotation.
Tomorrow is the most important thing in life. Comes into us at midnight very clean. It's perfect when it arrives and it puts itself in our hands. It hopes we've learned something from yesterday. -John Wayne

Bases loaded, no one out, top of the order followed by a chopper to first and a shallow popup Come on Frankie!

Mejia had his hitting streak snapped at 50 games today.
Francisco Mejia
That’s tied for the fifth longest hitting streak in the history of organized baseball.
1) Joe Wilhoit, 1919 Seattle Rainiers (Triple-A) -- 69 games 2) Joe DiMaggio, 1933 San Francisco Seals (Double-A) -- 61 games 3) Joe DiMaggio, 1941 New York Yankees (MLB) -- 56 games 4) Roman Mejias, 1954 Waco Pirates (Class B) -- 55 games 5) Francisco Mejia, 2016 Lake County Captains and Lynchburg Hillcats (Class A) -- 50 games

Man, our bullpen is just filthy now that we've added Miller to the mix. I love that Tito is willing to use them all interchangeably. Miller had some absolutely ignorant stuff. Once we got Bauer out of the game, I knew we were winning that game.

Who would have thought that using your best players during the most important parts of the game would be a good idea?

Cray, right?
It's nice that all of those guys have accepted the roles, too. Egos are definitely not getting in the way of winning. They all genuinely want the team to win from one game to the next. I'm just glad the Tribe is playing meaningful baseball again.
Tomlin makes one of the nicest plays I have seen by a pitcher to end the 3rd ...... and Rajai leads off the 4th with a bomb to straight away center for a 1-0 Indians lead.

These replays still need to come faster. I'm all for the process, I just want it sped up.
And they still seem to get them wrong more so than right!! Everything I saw on the replay says Ramirez was in before the tag was applied.
Correct, he did get in before the initial tag. However, it looked clear to me that his hand and foot both came off the bag when he over slid third and the tag was reapplied. It looked to me like the correct call was made.
The thing that annoys me, sitting on my couch, I've already seen the review and made an opinion before the ump walks over to the dugout to put the headphones on. If it's too close, leave it as is.
I'd also like the manager to have less time to request a review. I don't know how that'd work, but I feel like there's a video crew on standby with a DVR replaying the call in the clubhouse. If the players on the field and the manger think it should be reviewed based on what they saw real time, then go for it.

Cubs apologize for song, fire employee involved 1:23 PM ET
The Chicago Cubs have apologized for a song that was played after reliever Aroldis Chapman left the mound during Sunday's game.
The Cubs said an employee played Prodigy's "Smack My Bitch Up" after Chapman pitched the ninth inning of a 6-4 loss to the St. Louis Cardinals. That employee was fired Monday.
"We apologize for the irresponsible music selection during our game last night," Cubs president of baseball operations Crane Kenney said in a statement. "The selection of this track showed a lack of judgment and sensitivity to an important issue. We have terminated our relationship with the employee responsible for making the selection and will be implementing stronger controls to review and approve music before public broadcast during our games."
Chapman, who the Cubs acquired from the New York Yankees at the trade deadline, missed the first 29 games of this season under baseball's domestic violence policy. He was involved in an October incident where he allegedly choked his girlfriend.
Police did not file charges against the Cuban-born left-hander, citing insufficient evidence, conflicting stories and uncooperative witnesses. Major League Baseball announced Chapman's suspension in early March, two months after the Yankees traded four minor leaguers to the Cincinnati Reds for the All-Star closer.
Information from ESPN staff writer Jesse Rogers and The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Wow. Although, I wonder who it is that made the worse move... the team that acquired the player, or the guy that played the song to remind eveyone who this dude is.

Not only that, but that song is terrible. He should be fired for his song horrible taste in music.
I'm not sure it was ignorance at all. I get the feeling it was sort of a "fire me" move.
I like the people pointing out though that the Cubs fire the guy for playing a song that seems to endorse domestic violence, but employ the guy that's actually done it.
The song is about heroin I believe anyway, not violence.

Yes, that is the issue. The guy who actually choked his girlfriend is still employed making $11 million this year. The guy who played the song mocking him was probably an intern making $10,000 a year and he is now fired. #priorities

Well, the #1 priority is to win a World Series. They might be able to do that with a pitcher that can throw 105 MPH, even if he had a problem not to long ago with domestic issues. DJs don't improve the teams chances at all.
I'm here in Chicago and none of my friends that are Cubs fans are talking about his problems and how they don't want him on the team. Nobody is perfect and they just want a title.

Indians beat White Sox 3-1. Kluber out-dueled Quintana, and is now 13-8. Allen with his 23rd save, and Miller once again eats the 7th & 8th innings. Indians now up by 6 games over the Tigers.
