I’ve had bad success as the series starter this year. So there is only one way to go!

Go Tribe!

Go Laley!

Go Tribe. 

I am usually have bad luck starting threads but I did finally get hot. Sending Laley23 good mojo.

Go Tribe

Donaldson with a BB and Grand Slam today in Columbus through 2 ABs.

And Tribe continues to blow donkeys. 

On the bright side,The Tribe won't have to face the Royals in the playoffs.

My effort to not suck starting threads isn’t going well.

So after the Tomlin appearance the other night, I looked up the Tribe stats on most homers given up this year.  Of course, Kluber leads with 22, BUT Tomlin is tied with him now. Tomlin has about one fourth of the innings that Kluber has.  When I get some time, I will post a list of HR/inning. 

When I was looking through the list, Plutko stuck out to me as a guy who is giving up a lot of homers per inning. And then today, add 3 more in 6. 

Neil Ramirez and Dan Otero are also of concern, too. 

On the good side, one of the best has been Oliver Perez.

yup

Just look very lethargic.

And we have a new franchise record. 

Lindor is the first ever 40-30-20 player. 

(Doubles, homers, stolen bases)

And he now has 6 first at bat homers this season.  (record is 7 by ..........Sizemore)

Hitting the ball tonight and Clev looks sharp.

Gonzalez is not very good—have a feeling he’ll be watching the post season on tv like the rest of us.

Tribe Wins!!

WELCOME TO CLEVLAND

Yandy!!

Party at Steve "BYE-BYE" Balboni's

Go Tribe

So odd that Yandy hit his first Major League HR last night. Dude is built like a HR hitter.

Yandy is such a good fucking hitter. Drives me nuts we can’t find s spot for him. And if he ever learns to elevate (launch angle) he will put up 40+ easily.

He also waits longer on pitches, hence a lot of opposite field hits. If he turned on more of those pitches he might have a few more dingers.

I forgot it was an afternoon game. 

Klubes looking good.  Allen singles in a run. 

1-0, T3. 

2-1 Tribe, B6

Kluber: 90 pitches, 9 K's, 0 BB, 2 hits

Kluber exits after 6.2

10 K's, 1 BB, 2 hits

Perez gets final out of 7th. 

Hold on to your hats: Allen is in for the 8th.

And Hand strikes out the side 1-2-3.

It’s actually 3 really good outings in a row. And it does appear his curve is back to working.

That said, I want to see about 9 more innings out of him like this lol.

Yes. 

Congratulations, you won a series for us!

And I'm going to put in another unsung hero vote for Greg Allen.
