  Just win 2. Avoid Shields, which is nice. Gotta get to the starters early though, cause the KC pen is lights out.

  Anyone know how many times the Tribe has been shut out this season?
• Mohican00

  

  Looks like 4 times

  For the love of God, it is the 4th of July and they actually sold out the game tonight (radio was making a big deal of it)........is it really asking too much to hit the ball a little so fans might actually want to come back?
  
  Stage a comeback, do something exciting. 2 fucking hits through 6 innings in front of one of the few packed houses you get all season is freaking insulting.
  
  Momentum really is only as good as the next days starting pitcher I guess. It looked like maybe a hint of momentum off a good west coast road trip, and then we get this.
  
  Hopefully they show some life and make a game of it, but this blows.

  I sleep through most of the game. I guess they did also.

  It seems that whenever they get a full house, they fall flat on their face

  Tribe up 3 in the third.
• Laley23

  

  Kluber has some crazy sneaky movement on that 2-seamer.
• Laley23

  

  Fucking Mike Moustakas and Alex Avila. Literally in the majors because they play the Tribe nearly 20 times a year.

  4-1 tribe after 7.
• HitsRus

  

  Going to the ninth...
• GOONx19

  

  Kluber with the 10k eight inning gem. Yankees up next!
