TV: FSN. Radio: Cory Provus Reads "The Wasteland" Aloud Fried By Weed Brownies
According to Baseball Reference, Cleveland pitcher Corey Kluber's nickname is "Hans Kluber." This is of course a reference to the seminal Alan Rickman villain in "Moonlighting." Apparently Hans Kluber was also a 16th-century artist who restored some cool dancing skeletons for a Swiss church. Thanks, Internet!
Kluber is mostly a sinker/slider/curve guy, with the most effective pitches being his bendy ones. He'll go up against Ervin Santana, who has a crazy baBIP this year but also a higher-than-usual walk rate. Are the two connected? My crystal ball answers all, but forbids me to disclose its secrets. Digits:
| ERA | H/9 | K/9 | BB/9 | HR/9 | OPS v L/R | BAbip | FIP | |
| Santana | 3.86 | 10.4 | 8.5 | 4.2 | 0.8 | .786/.825 | .347 | 3.72 |
| Kluber | 4.14 | 8.4 | 8.9 | 2.0 | 0.6 | .720/.541 | .295 | 2.69 |
Lineups:
| Twins Territory | Northern Ohio |

I liked them when I was in college, but now I've grown up. I listen to podcasts suggested by people at the office. It's "team building"
