Tribe Hosting The Rockies, June 20, 21, 22

• BRF

  

  Our Tribe comes off a homestand sweep of the Pirates to welcome into town the Colorado Rockies. The visitors bring a 35-36 record to go against the AL Central leaders who now have a record of 39-31. Speaking of records, this will be BRF's 7th thread started for a series and he is bringing in a 13-5 record. Hopefully, all this adds up to continued success for our team.
  
  All games will be starting at 7:05 at the corner of Carnegie and Ontario. Speaking of that, Hammy had the weekend off and will be back. Look for him to get some razzing and we hope the sweep was not due to his absence!
  
  (time out to give a quote from september63: "BRF, welcome the Rockies to town with a thread. Nice sweep on your Pirates thread."....................OK, this one is for you!)
  
  In the first game, we will see Nicasio at 2-1 vs. our "ace" Carmona at 4-8 now.
  
  The second game will pit Chacin (who has one of the weirdest first names I've ever seen and thus, he will lose despite his 8-4 record) vs. Talbot at 2-4.
  
  The final game of the series matches Hammel at 4-6 vs. Tomlin at 8-4.
  
  Keep it going Tribe!

  The Rockies are 8-7 all-time against the Tribe, but just 1-5 at The Jake. Hopefully that continues this week.
  
  Good just BRF. Go Tribe!

  Fixed. Thanks for pointing that out, big guy!

  this should have been a matchup 4 years ago
  
  Fausto is too inconsistent to keep pitching this bad, he'll have a good one.
• royal_k

  

  I believe the Rockies are one of the worst teams on the road in interleague play. But one of the best at home. Hope it continues this week.
  
  Good job BRF!

  Stay hot, kid!
  
  Nice that we get to miss Jimenez, also.
• dave

  I was hoping to see Ubaldo, he's been pretty bad since his amazing first half of last year.

  No shit. I almost spit my drink on my laptop when I saw him quote Hoops23 and then post this "gem" on the Pirates thread..."Sick troll featherhead's mind is full of smoke and hasn't seen a real fireworks show!"
  
  When I saw him call someone else a "troll" I just smh.

  Great sweep versus the Pirates. The pitching returned in a big way, and the "key" guys started to hit for the Tribe. Great to see Pronk back as well with the RBI double in the first game. I missed them all on a short vacation to the cottage, so hopefully we dont start to lose again now that Im home. If we do....I may very well move up there till November.
• Wooball

  

  Good to see Carmona really foolin the Rockies there in the 1st inning.
• Laley23

  

  lol at Fausto getting outs. Thank God it was only 1 run.
• Laley23

  

  God. This offense is 105720659372 times better with Pronk in it.

  Hafner with the BOMB!!!
• Sonofanump

  That was an impressive AB for Hafner.
