  Go Con...Go Trjbe!

  Sounds like they are going to call up Ryan Merritt for Saturday's 2nd game but it's looking like it's truly going to be a bullpen approach. Carasco has to go deep in the afternoon game.

  #1 Postponed.
• Con_Alma

  ...kind of helps the Indians. Don't have to scramble for pitching game 2 on Saturday now.
• cat_lover

  Carrasco is on tonight.
• cat_lover

  Miller with the save.
  
  Fantastic catch by Zimmer in the 9th.
  
  Go Tribe.

  Joe Colon, c-ya!
• Laley23

  

  Jose Ramirez, still hot in July.
• Con_Alma

  This game might take 4 hours with all the pitches being thrown.
• BRF

  

  I figured Classy would be all over this thread after game one.
• Con_Alma

  Verlander just can't beat the Indians. He had zero strikeouts today. When's the last time Verlander didn't strike a guy out after throwing 100 pitches?? Maybe they actually are stealing signs or they've picked up something that's tipping his pitches. (sarcasm alert)
• Con_Alma

  ...found this from ESPN Stats.
  
  "Justin Verlander's streak of 331 straight starts with a strikeout was snapped today.Was the 10th-longest in the Live Ball Era (since 1920)"
• Con_Alma

  ...and this.
  
  "He, Verlander, has an 11.30 ERA in 3 starts vs Indians this season. 3.87 vs all other teams."

  Pathetic display by Logan, and then Armstrong is just as bad, giving up a two run dinger...6 runs in the 9th and still hitting...Allen on in a save situation when the Tribe entered the bottom of the inning up 11-2...when does a win (hopefully) feel like a loss?!? smh

  Meh, off day tomorrow and Twins lost to Royals, so they are both 3 games back.

  yeah, calmed down a bit and thankful for another W...that last inning was tough to watch, though

  Another series win, go Trjbe!
• Con_Alma

  It sucks they had to bring in Allen for 1 out but glad they got the series win.

  Ramirez voted as starter for ASG. Very deserved.
  
  Surprised to see Brantley made it, players voted him in as a reserve. No word on the rest of the reserves or pitchers for AL yet.
• Con_Alma

  Ramirez deserves the start. Brantley deserves the respect.
• Con_Alma

  Lindor as a reserve too.
