  Some good Tribe news:
  
  @MLBastian: Indians have confirmed the signing of 16-yo SS Dorssys Paulino out of the DR. Reported signing bonus was $1.1 million.

  Can we please cut the cord with Gomes? Designate him for assignment and give his ABs to Heisey and Lewis

  Tomlin, Carrasco, and Masterson going for us. I don't see a sweep.

  True, we used the worst part of the rotation in this series....even though masterson is not at fault for not getting wins

  Yeah, Masterson has a 2.85 ERA but won his first game since April 26th in this series. Crazy.

  Good job by Judy putting up a zero after the Tribe scores 2. Still in the game.
• royal_k

  That guy said he was luitenant smith. But he had captain pinned on. That was weird.
• Midstate01

  

  Lol WTF
• wes_mantooth

  

  that was an absolutely crazy stat....guys are batting .137 off of him, but his era is over 6. that is awful.

  It doesn't help when you've walked like 25 batters in 16 innings lol
• Midstate01

  

  Well done chapman!

  Guessing that with pitches 100+, you are basically guessing.

  Need a bomb by Yanish. Is the wind blowing out?

  i get that...but when a guy cant throw strikes and you are slumping...you don't swing at the first pitch unless it is on a tee.

  Maybe so. But he threw a lot of strikes in that inning.
  
  But still I see what you're saying
• wes_mantooth

  

  also, I love that Joe Smith's era is under one and he hasn't allowed a run in like 7 years, but I don't get it...a lot of his pitches seem like they catch the meat of the plate. That crazy arm angle must be really deceptive.
