1st place Tribe heads west: Tribe @ Seattle

  • TBone14
    Anderson was great in his last start up here and followed it up with a gem in AAA. Rough 1st inning but he's set down 7 in a row now.

    Lindor hosed Anderson. Won't go as an error but his inability to make a routine decision has opened the door for this 4 run inning.

    Worst play I've ever seen Lindor make. Weird.

    It was bad, but Anderson is getting rocked again, half his outs are great defensive plays. Yes, could've been out of the inning, but that doesn't mean he has to come back and give up a double and triple to bottom of the order. He sucks.

    Right. We have established that but at this point he is spot starter. If you can call a guy up on a days' notice and he can give you 5 innings and give up 2 runs...you sign up for that.

    He's not fooling anybody out there, though.

    if he had only given up one run, we'd still be losing....need a little offense too.

    What I'd really like to see the tribe do is go out and get Beltran and chapman from the Yankees. Move Allen to the 8th inning and joba as your 7th inning guy with Shaw being the situational guy and z Mac as our spot starter

    THIS!

    Looking forward to watching Cookie tonight. He got that first start off the DL under his belt so he should be ready to rock without limitation.

    Cavs will probably be down a couple dozen by first pitch.

    Ha, I was. Germany now. Fucking Anderson, I'll be home soon to root from far away. Go tribe! From Cochem!
  • HitsRus
    Offense in a stupor .... 0 runs on 3 hits thru 6
  • TBone14
    Our offense can go from an unstoppable force to complete ineptitude in a flash.

    Cookie has made a couple mistakes to Ianetta who has 2 of the 4 Mariner hits...both homers. A solo and a 2 run. Other than that he's been fine. Tribe offense appears disinterested tonight. Perhaps, like us, they were all more concerned with what Lebron and the boys were up to.

    That's it for me. Hope to wake up to a miracle but Walker just struck out 2 and Franklin Guitteriez went Griffey Jr on the wall in right to end the 7th.

    I'll give some credit to Walker. He's got some good stuff and it was working today.

    Tribe will look to salvage a split tonight. Tomlin will take on Nate Karns. Karns sports a nifty 5-2 record and the M's are 8-3 this year when he starts but he was bludgeoned in his last start (7 ER in 4 innings) and the Tribe got to him for 5 runs in 5+ innings in the 10-7 loss to Seattle in Cleveland earlier this season.
  • HitsRus
    As it has been all year... Tomlin is up to stop the skid at 2.

    One would think that Safeco Field would setup quite nicely for Josh Tomlin. Optimistic for tonight. Offense will need to score some runs, though. 1 run in the last 2 games.
  • TBone14
    Tribe scoreless with 1 hit through 3 tonight. They have scored 1 run in the last 25 innings and the 1 run was a solo homer.

    Shaw looked bad again. Might be time to try someone else in the set up role.

    Get Otero into the 8th.

    At this point, in our outfield, you almost just have to sacrifice it...

    And yeah, split on the road in Seattle without an off day before the series opening, yes please!

    Hits, you're up for LAA series.

    All while extending the lead in the division. Will take it for sure.
  • like_that
    Damn, the Royals on a 7 game skid. It's crazy how the division standings can change after only 2 series being played. If only fucking Brantley was healthy...
  • Laley23
    White Sox and Royals struggling. Don't take foot off the gas, as this will not last (at least Royals). Gotta build up a cushion for the Tribes eventual skid.
