Why didn't Chiz hit for donald? The same reason pronk didn't hit for duncan. Acta sitting on his hands. -

Makes no sense. -

Hell, Pronk could have hit for Donald... You'd still have Chiz to come in and play 3rd afterwards.. -

You're right though, I'm just saying it doesn't make sense that there was no pinch hitter for Donald. -

Also, Santana is absolutely horrible behind the plate.

Yeah, finding a catcher would be a top priority for me going forward. Move Carlos to 1st where he belongs, and get LaPorta the hell off the field where he belongs. -
FootwedgeLMRO at the utter stupidity on LaPorta....clueless. A quick turn and throw nails the runner.

Yep. LaPorta looked like a complete dumbass on that GW play. -

I also despise a closer blowing a game with 2 outs. It's the most frustrating thing in baseball for me.

Yes, not hitting Pronk for Kearns against a right hander in the 8th was a manager brain cramp. Manny Acta is not qualified.royal_k;853079 wrote:Why didn't Chiz hit for donald? The same reason pronk didn't hit for duncan. Acta sitting on his hands. -

There was 3 times that Pronk could've been used and he couldn't have done any worse. Acta is a fucking idiot -

The good news is, as soon as this series ends, the entire rest of the Tribe's season consists of 15 series, and...
a) 4 series are head to head with Detroit
b) 10 of them are against 5 of the bottom 6 teams in the AL (Seattle, KC, Oakland, Minnesota, and Chicago), missing only Baltimore.
No Yankees, Rays, Red Sox, or Angels, and only 3 more games with Texas. Can't ask for anything more than that. -

Great breakdown. It's frustrating, but it's still only 4 games... We still have 52 games left. Imagine if this were the NBA and a team was 4 GB 30 games into the season. Don't think anybody would be saying they were out of it. -

The bright side is that's the formula we used to jump out to that big lead in April/May. Here's hoping they can still turn this thing around. -

How is that good news? Here is their record against those teams, 22-26
Detroit (4-3)
Chicago (1-7)
KC (8-4)
Seattle (4-0)
Oakland (2-1)
Minnesota (3-6)
Texas (0-5) -

Watching the replay right now. It was nice seeing Acta get into Pestano's ass after that walk. he should probably pull the whole bullpen aside and rip them a new one for their shitty performance of late.
