Tribe at Blue Jays

  • BRF
    This will be a 3 game series with the Saturday and Sunday games starting at 1:00 (actually 1:07...go figure).

    Go Tribe!

    Hopefully the start of the 2nd half with the jays isn't similar to the start of the 1st half.

    time to put together a run..........I believe we need more pitching but they wont hire me for a front office job to give my opinions......;.......but should be an interesting second half! Go Tribe!

    Facing 2 LH pitchers to start the series. Not their strong suit. But they have had better results the past few games.

    The roof is open.

    The Indians better bring their bats over the next several series. The AL East tends to put up some runs.

    Hafner with a bomb tribe up 1-0
  • Con_Alma
    The Indians have beaten the last four lefties they have faced.
  • Glory Days
    looks like a prime game for perez to blow to start the second half.

    I think I'm going to watch Major League again.

    The current front office is starting to remind me of the one in the movie.
  • Con_Alma
    Im one of the few that agrees with the front office not making a move. This is a .500 team. It would take a lot more than a right handed power stick and another starter to make this a World Series team.

    Any move they make should be for next year. This team doesn't have the talent to run in the playoffs...even with a great move.

    I disagree, adding someone like hamels and a power bat like willing ham could do some damage in the playoffs. The way Masterson and ubaldo have been pitching lately with hamels is a very good 1-3 in the playoffs. Great pitching always beats great hitting. Add in our bullpen when we have a lead

    Con_Alma Tribe bro: We don't get many chances. To have the record we have right now is rare.

    And I am an old man.

    Carpe Diem!

    Our great pitching isn't great as much as it's very good. Masterson and ubaldo are very good. We don't have a true, consistent ace. I think the bullpen is excellent and even they are in need of one more arm. This is not a World Series team. To go all in and make a trade for this year would be silly.

    Ubaldo and Masterson are not aces but hamels or greinke are.

    Oh, I agree. My thought is that's not enough.
  • Con_Alma
    dang it, Thought that was a pretty good ab by Cabrrera. Just didn't finish it.
  • Glory Days
    the all star break didnt slow brantley down at all.

    With timely hitting it could be. Look at the giants a few years ago. I think our offense is better than the giants were. But it doesn't matter the front office won't do anything anyways
  • Con_Alma
    There are lots of could be s out there with other teams too. I just don't see it with this team.
  • Crimson streak
    Nice job by Masterson to get out of that
  • Con_Alma
    He's dealing again against Toronto. The bullpen owes him one against them.

    Dear Lord, I hope you are wrong.
  • Con_Alma
    Here we go. Gotta get Bautista.
  • Con_Alma
    Big out.

    Outstanding pitching performance tonight.
