So disappointing. 

The only positive for me is that if anybody is going to beat us, it’s easier for me to take when it’s my second favorite team. 

I thought Votto went out with COVID-like symptoms. Must have tested negative and was allowed back, I guess?

He never tested positive, just had symptoms. I assume in that scenario a single negative test is all that is needed.

Castellanos is a monster. 

Yea, it's bad when your #3 is trying to bunt for a hit with 2 down in the 3rd inning  in a 1-0 game.

Hey Reds Fans,  Joey Votto or  Tony Perez?

The Indians offense has to be historically bad right now. I think it’s been over a week since they got 5 hits in a game.

Tribe have a base runner!!

I agree, I was trying to think when there has ever been a run like this.  Hell, even when they sucked in the 60’s and 70’ and 80’s.... and gaps since then......at least they scored some runs.  Jesus.

We all know Luplow is bad, by my goodness he just had one of the worst at bats I’ve ever seen.

Errors and bases loaded walk and we are tied at 2.

FRANMIL!!

2 run bomb 4-2 Tribe

Why is Hand coming in after Karinchak faced one batter??

Regardless of what happens tomorrow , that was a BIG win for the Tribe.

boo

Tribe wins 4-2
BIEBER!!
FRANMIL!!

Karinchak
Hand!!

Hats off to Hand who was hitting 92 &93 on his fastball tonight instead of barely hitting 90 in his previous outings.

Party at Dan Driessen's

GO TRIBE!!

Bieber is so damn good. 

Offense still sucks. Thank the Reds pitchers for walking everyone. 3 damn hits. 

Sandy bringing in Hand. Ugh. Worked out, but thought Karinchak had the role when he came in for the 8th

David Bell is a certified moron. 

Mahle at 96 pitches of 1 hit, 6 shutout innings. Doesn’t bring him out for the 7th AND doesn’t pitch his best relievers (Amir Garrett)...bullpen gives up 4 runs

Francona, a good manager with at least 5% of a brain, does the exact opposite. Leaves Bieber out for the 8th despite throwing 98 pitches AND when he gives up a base runner, francona brings in his best reliever. 

It’s not hard to manage a pitching staff, but David bell certainly makes it.

He out thinks himself more than any guy I’ve ever seen manage

Kipnis batting .500

Jose Iglesias batting .523

I wasn’t listening to the game, but I agree if Karinchak (one of the hardest names for me to type of all time) did good why not let him go to the 9th instead of rolling the dice with Hand. Well, it worked out this time. 

And Laley - Even though Tito is not there and Sandy is in charge, are you saying Tito made the call?

No, I’m saying I wonder if Tito was there, if Karinchak finishes the game. Doubtful, as I’m sure they talked about all this beforehand. Just something to ponder.
