Tribe vs Rays (Series Thread)

  Regarding Encarnacion: At what point in seasons past has he overcome his "slow start"?
  
  This one's just about 25% in the books.
• iclfan2

  

  He had a 3-2 count at one point tonight and instead of trying to put a ball in play he took a cut like he was trying to send the ball to Akron.

  At least he's in the AL top ten in walks.
  
  Along with Santana, of course.
  
  What does that say?
• Gardens35

  Tribe has 2 guys in the Top 10 in walks.

  Good win tonite even if it wasn't pretty. I'll be there tomorrow to root Salazar to a win.
  Good news on Kluber who threw a bullpen session today.

  Joboo smiles upon the Indians bats again.
  
  Go Tribe.

  I hope all of this is just precautionary.

  Looks like they are bringing up Zimmer.

  What can you tell me about this Zimmer fellow?
• iclfan2

  

  Strikes out a lot, but was hitting well. Very fast, power hitter, fields much better than Almonte out there. I'm excited to see him out there. I'd much prefer a Brantley, Chisenhall, Zimmer of and stop all of the platooning. Wonder who the odd man out will be with Guyer/Almonte/ Jackson once all healthy.

  Zimmer batting 9th and playing Center tonight. May have to fire in a Draft Kings lineup with him in it in case he hits 4 homers in his debut.
• Gardens35

  OK VbBall.........I laughed!

  Indians best prospect. Top 50 prospect in baseball. He's essentially a Grady Sizemore before the injuries type player.

  Tough matchup tonight. Odorizzi has only given up more than 1 earned run in a start twice this season and not since April 9th. That included a stint on the DL, though. He's only made 6 starts and one he left after an inning.
• Laley23

  

  There were many who wanted Zimmer to be kept over Frazier last year. I was 50-50. Love his upside and hope he runs with this chance, unlike Yandy so far.

  Way too early to label Yandy this but I hope he's not Andy Marte. Can't get him out in AAA but never figures it out at the big level.

  Clean sheet for Salazar in the first
