    I don't watch the games. No TV in the summer. Underwood does bother me though. I can only take him for a couple innings.

    Lets see is EE keeps the streak alive.

    Nice outing for Clevinger but no decision. Let's not waste a great start, though.

    excellent outing by Clevinger, but again, offense feast or famine

    We don't need starters. At all. Let's Go Tribe did a great breakdown of our starters and how so many people are foolishly looking at W/L and ERA with or pitchers.

    Bauer is so far better than your average 3, he actually projects as a typical/slightly below average 2 this year.

    Tomlin is a better than average for a 4.

    I guess to rephrase the question....should this team make it to the playoffs, is there currently a pitcher on this roster that you trust to be your #3 guy? Salazar? Big "if" that he'll bounce back. Bauer? Meh. Tomlin? Hell no ! The problem is that there will be a few good arms available at the deadline but trade talks will probably start with the Tribe's top catching prospect.

    As a side note, is anyone else concerned about Tito? This is the second time he's had to leave a game early for rapid heartbeat/dizziness.

    I disagree--IMO, we need a left handed starter.
  • cat_lover
    I too am starting to wonder about the Tito health situation. They say they have done a battery of tests and everything comes back clean.

    Not having a lefty is a different story. I agree it would be nice to change the look in a playoff series as t goes along.

    I guess my main point was that Bauer and Tomlin are actually much better than we give them credit for. We watch all their starts, so we critique. And next to Kluber and Carrasco, they don't look good (because those 2 just set guys down in order all damn game). But it's not realistic, and the "replacement", imo, wouldn't be near enough of an improvement (especially over Bauer) to give up our top prospects.

    I completely agree with this.
