Community Picks: Cleveland Indians 0% vs Seattle Mariners 0%

The vast majority of baseball games are more than two hours long, and during those hours and minutes baseball players are batting, pitching, running, standing, and watching. Sometimes they snack on sunflower seeds or trail mix, but don't you think they get hungry for more than than that? On Tuesday night, Cleveland Indians third baseman Juan Uribe almost got himself a very substantial mid-game snack. The Indians were facing the Seattle Mariners on Tuesday night, and designated hitter Adam Lind was batting against Indians pitcher Cody Anderson. Anderson delivered the first pitch of the at-bat to Lind, who swung and hit it foul behind him and high above the third base line. Uribe gave chase and followed the ball to the stands, but it landed a few rows in and he didn't have a chance to snag it.  [ Join a Yahoo Daily Fantasy Baseball contest now ] Uribe slowed down and stopped once he hit first row of seats, and once the ball had landed, he saw something he wanted: the hot dog of a fan in the front row. While the fan was turned around to see where the ball had landed, Uribe reached down and pretended to take the fan's hot dog. Once the gentleman realized what was happening, he picked up his hot dog, paper holder and all, and offered it to Uribe with a little smile on his face. Who wouldn't want Juan Uribe to take their hot dog and eat it on the field like it's an old-timey beer league baseball game?! Sadly, there was no vintage baseball reenactment. Uribe was just pretending, and he declined the fan's hot dog gift.  If Uribe really wanted a hot dog, we could have seen him make Doris Murphy's excellent play from "A League of Their Own" a reality.

Taijuan Walker has provided plenty of insight but very few excuses during his freefall from an amazing April that saw him go 2-0 with a 1.33 ERA. The Seattle Mariners' 23-year-old starting pitcher has gone 0-6 with a 7.86 ERA in seven starts since then. "I have to figure it out," Walker told reporters after his last start, a 7-3 loss to Texas.

Wade Miley credited mechanical adjustments rather than his razor for regaining his pitching form. Nelson Cruz homered twice and an almost-clean shaven Miley pitched seven scoreless innings to pace the Seattle Mariners to a 7-1 victory over Cleveland on Tuesday night, snapping the Indians' six-game winning streak. Cruz hit a two-run homer in the first inning off starter Cody Anderson (1-4) and added a solo shot in the fifth, his 15th, to put Seattle up 7-0. Continue to Article
