but...bullpen 

Even before bullpen, Carrasco leaves after giving up a two run shot to Kemp (first homer of the year). 

It's two outs in the 6th and the ball is handed to...........

gulp........

ZMac. 

Check the replay on Brantley's homer that jacked the old man who tried to catch it on the side of his face and knocked him down. Ha ha!

8-6 in the B7. 

Anybody know what's up with the green hats and green trim tonight?

ZMac goes 1 and a third giving up one run, then Olson comes in and retires the one batter he faces and is lifted for Otero. 

Allen for the 9th. 

And he gets the job done 1-2-3 with a great play from Kipnis. 

Whew!

8-6.

Hi BRF!

Here's your answer:  

Starting Saturday and running right through to Monday, it’s Major League Baseball’s annual three-day uniform celebration of Memorial Day.

It’s an all-new look for the Memorial Day caps this year (see last year’s designs here), the crowns feature a black camouflage pattern, the bills are that familiar military-shade of olive green and the cap logos have been re-coloured to match.

Each of the twenty-nine U.S.-based teams will feature five stars on the side of their cap and jersey to represent the five branches of the military; the Toronto Blue Jays will instead have four maple leaves on the side of their cap for the four branches of Canada’s military.

The only bad thing about Bauer pitching is that Perez does the catching...he’s basically useless.

Marshall, Taylor and Tomlin. 

Jesus. 

Tourniquet, please. 

And our batters score five in the B9 to carry it to extra innings. 

How do you feel about that, BRF?

Great comeback, but not much confidence, even though Allen is in for the 10th. 

This Pen makes me hate this team. It’s sad. If the Tribe doesn’t go and make some major moves to bolster the Pen, it will be a HUGE waste of a window that took a decade plus of great drafting, trades and contracts to build. And I’m not sure why they haven’t started already.

Greg Fucking Allen. 

Wow. 

So frustrating. Easily should’ve been 3/4 from Houston with a decent pen...and not even close in 2 of those 3. I’ll take a split, but the brass needs to get this figured out on the market or within (minors).

How about that,sportsfans?

Greg Fricking Allen

Party at Don Wilson's

Was hoping for Alan Ashby

You guys need to deal with the Reds...they have a couple new relievers that are cheap and can be had for cheap but are really doing a very good job. Jared Hughes and David Hernandez. They’d nicely help your bullpen. Scooter is tearing it up in 700 AB for the Reds and now hits lefties too. .340 avg, big rbi guy and .900 OPS. He’s been very clutch. Dumbass Reds would probably bite on all 3 for 2 prospects that won’t ever amount to much

Let’s face it, guys, Houston is just better than us. Period.

The worst part of this, while true, is I honestly think we are splitting hairs if our bullpen was decent/good. Top rotation (along with Houston) in AL. A top 3-4 comparable to the other top lineups. Very deep lineup (third in AL in HRs and 5th in runs...despite shit start). Just fix this fucking bullpen and we are a legit threat again.

Vegas still has Tribe as 10/1 for WS for a reason (yes, partly because almost a shoe-in for playoffs, but still).

Let's go iclfan2, we've got a game at 4:10 today.
