Game.

And...we are shown how to close it out. 

Gardens, why do you hate Edwin? Makes no sense lol.

let's enjoy the season while we're still playing, guys, cause it'll be over after the ALDS--our starting pitching and number 1-4 hitters are just too inconsistent to sustain any kind of a long run, and we can't rely on our bullpen as in years past either...hey, but now we can say with a straight face--- "there's always the Browns" 

Tribe record this month is 8-11. 

Playoff Roster Discussion.......Your input.

First Series......IF IF IF it came right down to RAJAI or GAllen as the second CF'r...who would you choose?

Why?

I go w/Rajai.

My guess is that either would be used to punch run/steal more than anything else. More comfortable with RAJAI there.

Both adequate in the field, RAJAI offers a RH Bat (not that his bat matters much).

Experience too.

Bottom 1st, Brantley on, JRam up.

Pop out to Center. .Edwin at bat.

Groundout.

0-0 after 1.
