Crunch time. Four game series with the Tigers.

Monday- Norris vs Plutko

Tuesday- No starters named

Wed-Turnbull vs Clevinger

Thurs- Boyd vs Bauer

Go Tribe

Over the past 6 weeks, we have done a great job of beating up on the bad teams (with the exception of the Baltimore series). We have 7 games left on this homestand against 2 horrible teams. We need to continue to dominate the bad teams.

Tribe! (and fwiw, imo, I think we're sellers...hope I'm wrong)

Go Tribe! Gotta finish the rest of July strong, because starting the 30th, we have a 3 to 4 weeks of above .500 teams.

Sweep please

I feel the same way and it’s going to be Bauer.  I’m going to be pissed if we deal Hand.

Go Tribe.

Go cat_lover!

Birthday wishes going out tonight to Bernie in Bellaire, Tony in Tiffin,  Cal in Caledonia, Alonzo in Akron, and Kelly in Kirtland.

Happy Birthday ladies!

Sigh. Thought Plutko should’ve been pulled after the HR made it 4-2. Tito tried to steal more outs and gets burned. 

The break seems to have rejuvenated Mercado. And Jose stays hot! Which might be the most important player on this team the next few weeks (and rest of season if they don’t sell).

Mercado ok in CF tonight?

Good 7th!

Tribe wins 8-6.

At the plate, yes lol. He’s fine in CF. But when Allen plays, Mercado should be at a corner spot.

They both play at same time much?

I really like Wittgren.  Great job this year. 

They don't play together very much but when they do it should be Allen in CF and Mercado in a corner outfield position.

Hard to tell. Mercado was called up initially and kinda replaced the struggling Allen who went back to Columbus. He killed it there, but Mercado killed up in Cleveland. Eventually Martin was sent packing and Allen recalled. So they haven’t been on the team much together, but both are hitting alright now, and have found themselves together more. Not a lot, but also only 20 games on same roster...

anyone hear from Classy lately?

No problem, I've been called worse. I'll also be pissed if they trade Hand. I'm not opposed to trading Bauer if we get value in return, but I am opposed to trading him to the Yankees or Astros. If we can't get value from an NL team, keep him.

I agree with that. 

Bradley sent down.

Plesac picked off a runner in the 1st inning. That gives him 5 pick offs since being called up. That is an insane amount.

Seems that for right now the only pitch that Bradley can hit is the fastball right down the middle.

Birthday greetings going out tonight to Mark in Mogadore, Adam in Aurora, Todd in Toronto, Danny in Danville, and Gary in Gahanna.

Happy Birthday ladies! 

Tribe scores 5 runs with 2 outs in the 2nd. Mercado with a 2run HR.
