Tribe Vs Washington:.... Swat the Nats thread

  • HitsRus
    Tribe comes home tomorrow (Friday) on a winning streak, and looking to push it to three in a row.
    Fireworks and dollar dog nite on Friday. Fireworks and Kipnis jerseys on Saturday.

    Justin Masterson (8-5, 3.68 ERA) takes on Gonzalez (3-3, 3.59) in the lid lifter.

    Let's Go Tribe!:thumbup:

    Gio isn't a slouch either

    Strasburg, I hope, is on a 70 pitch limit with his recent injury. Its a real possibility as well.

    Go Tribe!

    I expect another sweep. Pitching sucks and our bats have gone silent.

    Way to jinx him. He's going to give up 4 GS in a row now.

    We look like the damn reds out there leaving so many runners on

    Reynolds came up twice with the bases loaded in two innings...popped up and struck out on three fastballs down the middle. Maybe we need to bring up Lonnie.

    The Nats announcers are so salty. They are sitting here complaining about kipnis running a foot inside the base line on that last play. What a bunch of cry babies

    Losers whine...winners tell jokes.

    Good win. Looks like 31k showed up?

    Nice crowd and a walk off win.

    Definitely need to win this series because Detroit will probably sweep Minnesota.

    Chisenhall 25 games in Cbus .381 6HR 25 RBI 1.123 OPS

    Is he getting it figured out or is he just a AAAA hitter? I think the way Reynolds is struggling, it's time to bring him back up.

    Exactly. Chiz is one of those guys like Hagadone...that doesn't have anything more to prove at AAA, and needs to make the jump to the majors. I think at this point for those guys, it is a confidence issue...they need to realize they belong up at the varsity, and they need to play like it.

    Reynolds has really been in a slump, and so has Swisher. This team really takes off if those guys return to form. For all the griping about the pitching, it was the slumping offense that caused the extended losing streak.

    Hopefully they will, but unfortunately prolonged slumps have plagued both of them throughout their careers. The team feeds off of these two guys, and they really need to get it going if the Tribe's going to stay in the hunt over the long haul.
