Tride vs. Reds - Series Thread

  Brooms please.

  6 in a row for the Wahoos, now 20-23.
  Despite the 5-2 win, the Tribe littered the bases, leaving 13 runners on. They should have tacked on at least 3 more, but poor situational hitting kept the Reds within striking distance till the very end. Both Moss and Swisher wasted lead off doubles by Brantley and Murphy respectively and failed to move them over... Pretty sucky for two left handed pull hitters.
  As bad as the Tribe was, the Reds were even worse, looking like a team that has already packed it up in late September.
  Even as bad as the Tribe's start has been, I haven't seen any quit in them. The Reds look butt ugly.

  The Reds look like they are all looking forward to their early October tee times in Florida and Arizona.

  Bourn has been garbage, period. And it's not just his batting average. Never walks can't bunt to save his life and is horrible when he tries to steal a base. He's also a very over rated center fielder.
  
  Apparently Tito read my post this morning and benched his sorry ass. The corner out fielders should be red hot Murphy and RBI man Moss.

  C'mon Iggy you're slacking.... Get the new thread up, Tribe leading Rangers 5-3 in the 3rd.

  Sh@!... Now 5-5.
  Shawn Marcum looking like he does't want to stay in the majors....lifted with two outs in the 3rd.

  McCallister air mails the throw from 30 feet away allowing the go ahead run to score. Had the runner out by 40 feet. I've never seen that ever in baseball. Then a foul pop drops behind the catcher on the track. At some point, Francona has to crack the whip. There's no excuse for those kind of plays in the major leagues.

  McAllister is horrible. Can't make a throw to 1st from 40 feet and is now throwing BP.
  
  Andrus hit a freaking bomb.

  They need to make a trade for bullpen help. This is one of the worst pens I can ever remember.

  You must've missed the Reds pen...

  You have Chapman. Our best reliever sports an era north of 6.
  
  But yeah, I think Indians are actually middle of the pack numbers wise. But without anyone to go to in the 7th/8th/9th with any confidence it makes it worse than it is.

  Also, Iggy you POS, get the Rangers thread up.
