Hey, guess what?

We got shutout today. 

Plesac seemed to do well, but we can’t hit.

Yes, he did really well. 

We had 0 runs on 6 hits, 3 by Lindor. 

Another good pitching performance wasted.

...and with our clean up hitter batting .220--yup, we suck

Blow. It. Up. Bring up Bradley and any other young guy with the slightest modicum of talent. I'd rather see young guys, with potential, try and suck than disinterested old(er) guys not try and suck.

 I’ve been grousing about this team and what the front office has done since the winter meetings.  Despite all of this being perfectly predictable, I never expected it to be this bad. I only thought that we might lose and easily winnable division, but I never expected that we would be getting blown out by mid June… Actually tied with the rebuilding White Sox.

I wonder what’s going through the front office’s head?  Did they actually think this was going to work? Chris Antonetti couldn’t envision this?

 Do you think Paul Dolan is saying to himself, “I really fucked up!”....nahhhh

We will see what usually happens after something like this… The manager will be gone in August and the GM will leave at the end of the season

What sucks the most is that we're coming into warmer weather/prime time baseball season. Kid's are out of school, great time to take them to the ballpark....AND....the Tribe's already out of contention.

Yeah... that’s not going to help the bottom line.

 I don’t see the logic in saying “enjoy Lindor while you can”… And having a great pitching staff… And then just gutting the offense. 

If you are going to own a team, don’t get cheap when you have a chance to win. 

Watching MLB Draft on MLB Network and Trevor Bauer is breaking down these pitchers as well as anyone I’ve ever heard. He’s making the professionals wow him after each one.

If he doesn’t manage or pitching coach when he’s done...he’ll have numerous analyst offers for sure. Very very impressive.

Love the Tribes pick. Espino throws it 100 MPH as a starter, as a high school senior. About time the Tribe gets some flame thrower in the system.

Not a big guy either

I wonder what he has to say about himself.

I’m not up on the Tribe so far this season...what has Bauer said about himself?

^^^^^^^^ I was meaning that since he's analyzing others, how does he explain his shitty pitching in May?

Looking at his game logs he’s not been great . Walks up some, HR up some, strikeouts slightly down.

I imagine he’s watching video and working on getting his way back. He’s an odd dude. Always thought he and Votto were equally crazy in their ways.

Regardless, he nailed his breakdowns on draft night

lol-what hasn't he said? the guy's an unbelievable talent, but his over enthusiasm sometimes gets in his way--a lot...that being said, we all know he's a prick--but he's OUR prick ;)

Bauer is honest, and he has said he has been shitty. He isn’t hiding from his awful season so far, which I respect.

glad you respect that, and I'm sure he is too...he's still a prick, though, and yes--a shitty one

A lot of pitchers are pricks, no one cares when they pitch well
