  ...ball lands in 5th row.

  House is terrible. Total luck any game this doesn't happen. He is going to get 12 runs of support in 4 innings and still can't get through 5 to get the win.

  Finally. Tribe is gonna have to score more for this to not come down to the last few ABs, unfortunately.

  Agree. If you throw like that, you better have amazing control.

  He might get invited to the All-Star Game. Not as a player but to throw home run derby.
• Laley23

  

  Kipnis has struggled with the relay to 1st all season. Odd.
• Laley23

  

  Chisenhall is pretty on fire.
• HitsRus

  

  ^^^yeah 4 for 4.... single, 2 HRs and a double ...6 RBI's.
  
  
  He'll get a chance to hit for the cycle.
  
  
  Looking just as bad, as Chiz is looking good....is Carlos Santana
  I guess we need somebody to make outs. SMH.

  Axford is absolutely useless-just cut his ass and bring somebody (anybody) up.

  little bit of every thing in this game....home plate umpire head injury on a foul back off his mask.
• IggyPride00

  

  Chis is up to .381 on the season now.
  
  He still doesn't have enough plate appearances to qualify for the batting title, but that should change within the next month as the days of him platooning are over.
• Laley23

  

  Just to LOL at ESPN...

    @ESPNStatsInfo @TJZuppe Choo did it twice since then. Once in 2010 and once in 2009. Hafner also did it in 2006.

  He is like 35 behind right now. At 3.1 per game needed, if he gets 4 a game for a month, he will be right there.

  If he is walking someone up 7...he needs to be out of the game. I mean, just throw it down the middle and let them hit it.
  
  EDIT: Thank you, rewarded with a K.

  Bizarre game. Rangers run themselves out of the inning. Lonnie having a career game. Need a couple more runs here. Rangers can still tie it with a touchdown.

  Considering it will be Axford or Carrasco, agreed lol.
  
  Though, I admit, even going back to last year, Carrasco has been very good out of the pen. I think it helps him to be thrust into action and not have to think about his start for 4 days.

  Wow Lonnie. 5-5!
• IggyPride00

  

  Unreal.
• HitsRus

  

  camera captures Tito going "Wow! " 9 Rbi's for Chiz....three home runs.
• Laley23

  

  Incredible. Greatest offensive night in Tribe history.

  This.
  
  Unbelievable. Baker was throwing balls a foot outside that Lonnie was fouling off. He was never getting one by him. I don't remember many games like this from anybody.
  
  5 for 5. 3 homers. A double. 5 runs. 9 RBIs.
  
  Edit: 9 RBI. Not 8.
• TBone14

  

  Lost in all of this is that Brantley and Kipnis are having amazing games as well.
  
  Brantley is 3 for 3 with a homer and 5 runs scored.
  Kipnis is 3 for 5 with 4 RBIs.
• IggyPride00

  

  Tribe scored 17 runs tonight ostensibly playing with a 7 man line-up.
  
  Imagine how productive this line-up could be with even replacement level production instead of the crap they get from Giambi/Santana.
  
  To have a pair of guys under .170 in the line-up in mid June is ridiculous.
• Laley23

  

  Giambi is fine. He is playing to hit a HR every once in awhile. Santana, on the other hand, needs to find it quick.
