  So, who do you think picks up Druby tomorrow?

  Both of those guys are just awesome. How many in a row did Kluber put down to end the game. No base runners from the 6th on. Gave up the last single in the 5th I believe...so at least 13. Maybe 14.

  Good move unloading Masterson. Better move in not signing him to Homer Bailey type money before trading him. Tribe has had no luck in signing big ticket items. Hafner, Sizemore, and now Bourne and Swisher.

  T-Bone...it was 13 in a row. Final stat line on Kluber was no runs on three hits. Hefaced one batter over the minimum. He struck out 8 and walked no one. Kluber only thru 85 piches, only one of 7 pitchers since 2000 to throw a complete game shutout at 85 pitches or less. He threw 69 strikes..and only 16 balls. That's right...16 balls the whole game... less than 2 per inning.
  Probably the best pitched game that I have ever seen that wasn't a no hitter or a perfect game.

  I would be suprised if Cabrera hasn't played his last game for the Tribe. Supposedly the BJs are offering a hot young prospect that is coming off Tommy John.

  Quite the pitching display

  usually I only watch the Indians on offense to speed the game up because I only watch the replay here on the west coast. tonight I actually watched Kluber pitch because of the match up.
• BRF

  

  So the "Ace" was only 48-61 for the Tribe?
  
  Ace Schmace.

  I'll take a bag of balls at this point. Ready to move on.

  Agreed they need to bring Lindor up. He's ready. It's time to stop docking around and let the kid play

  More Kluber love. This time from Deadspin. Nice to see him getting recognized as one of the best in the game because he certainly has been this season.

  "If you watched Kluber's surgical dismantling of the Mariners last night, you couldn't help but notice that slider. The thing flies through the strike zone like a goddamned frisbee, diving off the edge of the plate and making guys look stupid. "
  
  That is journalism at its best right there.

  Cabrera to the Nationals for SS Zach Walters

  Sounds like Walters had some pretty good stats in the minors. 18 doubles, 5 triples, 15 HR's and a .300 average at AAA.

  Walters is solid. Watched him at AA. Kills left handed pitching.
• Con_Alma

  Tigers pick up David Price from Tampa Bay.
• HitsRus

  

  Another SS????

  He can play 2nd, 3rd and lf. Can play a lot of positions.
• vball10set

  Did I hear right--we got Andy Dirks from Detoilet??

  Zmac sucks
• GOONx19

  

  Shaw sucks.

  I think we have covered that Shaw doesn't suck. The guy leads the Majors in appearances... unfortunately he can't get it down every night. Nobody can.
• GOONx19

  

  I know. But every damn time I turn the game on he gives up a run. I've got to stop watching.
• HitsRus

  

  Shaw has not done that well lately.
