Reds at night..Tribe delight? Cinci at Cleveland series thread.

• HitsRus

  

  four night games against the Reds.....
  
  Cody Anderson(groan!) vs Lamb tonite.
  Salazar and Tomlin will take on Simon and Finnegan Tuesday and Wednesday before Kluber vs. Adleman in the series finale. The first two games will be at Progressive field, before moving to the Great American Ballpark for the final two.
  
  Tribe lost 2 of 3 to the hapless Twins over the weekend....can they recover before going on a tough road trip?

  They are what...4-8 versus the Twins/Astros??? Pathetic.
  
  Gotta win those series. Hey are playing wel versus everyone else. Just pathetic to keep losing to awful teams.

  Great news for the Tribe.

  The easiest way to do this is to beat up on the bad teams and hold your own vs the good ones and hope to sneak into the postseason. The method of beating up on good teams and holding your own vs the bad isn't sustainable for a team like our Tribe.

  I will pick A U hay knee o Suarez as the Reds player to shine this series.
  
  Duvall can go for an extra base hit better than most know.

  Right now, yes he does.
• iclfan2

  

  He's sucked all season really. His best outing was the 3 innings out of the pen.

  Isn't our GM a sabermetrics guy? Not sure why they ever liked Anderson. His low ERA last year was shown to be due to a severe amount of good fortune. Hard hit balls (like 105 MPH) were only hits like .275 when the MLB average was over .400 or something. Plus the amount of outs he got on balls in play was wayyyy below the average. A few other things. He was statistically the luckiest pitcher in baseball for July and August I beleive.

  Cured our offense today. Don't worry, we will cure your pen sometime the next 3 games.
• SportsAndLady

  

  Only this reds bullpen can make me turn it when we're up 4-0 and think, "we are gonna get blown out."
  
  Then come back to the game and it's 15-6.

  The bullpen is setting records in historic fashion. Ramirez is the only one who looks good and he's young and gives up gopher balls too often. Everyone else probably shouldn't be in MLB..maybe Cingrani

  The Reds pen is the worst in history. Literally. For all the hate on Anderson, Josh Tomlin is a guy who has pitched so far above his advanced metrics, it's shocking.
  
  The Indians should get well against the Reds, I'm smelling a pretty long string of losses...

  I'll be there tonight. Go Tribe.

  Not sure what Tomlin is, but surely he isn't this bad...

  Clevenger scratched at AAA today. Assume this means he is going to replace Anderson.
