The Cubs come to town for a two game series which starts an eleven game home stand. Chicago is 10-9 and the Tribe is now 12-8. 

Game 1 starts at 6:10 with Tomlin (0-2, 8.00) vs. Chatwood (0-3, 4.60).

Game 2 starts at 7:10 with Bauer (1-2, 2.67) vs. Lester 2-0, (3.10)

It doesn't look good weather wise for tonight's game as it's supposed to rain all day in the Cleveland area. 

Go Tribe. 

Tomlin versus teams that hit a lot of HRs is always scary.

Go Tribe

Go BRF

NO RAIN

Chicago is struggling.... but baseball who knows. I expect an unsavory split.

Tomlin is always scary.

FIFY

You'd think they'd schedule a WS rematch/marquee type series on the weekend instead of hiding it in the middle of the work week. Bravo MLB !

Hammy has been lamenting the scheduling all month. I agree. This should be weekend series in the summer. Saturday afternoon on FS1 and Sunday Night Baseball. Oh well.

I'd expect a better turnout than normal for this series but it would likely be sure sellouts if it was on a warm weekend.

Go Tribe! Fuck the Cubs. Heading up tomorrow.

Yes.  Weather should be a lot better tomorrow.

I can't believe the game has started on time!

Roll Tribe!

Tribe trail 2-0 going to the bottom on the 2nd.

I hope this rain starts pouring and never stops. Tomlin has so little chance versus some of these guys.

Ah....memories.....2016......Schwarber...........the next Babe Ruth according to his main knob slobberer Joe Buck.

Tomlin's era actually has dropped to 7.71 so far.

Oooops.  He just gave up another one (Contreras).  And the era goes to 8.25.

3-0

Tomlin should never pitch versus teams who hit HRs. He is fine versus anyone without power. But my God he serves up some absolute meatballs and these flyball guys always smoke them.

Bunting with Lindor. Probably on his own, I get that. But soooo dumb. So so dumb.

And we come back to make it 3-1 and then a base hit by Ramirez, Davis thrown out at the plate. 

Challenge

Out

Oh Shit. Schwarber again. 

Tribe trail 3-1 after 3. Babe Ruth(Kyle Swarber) just hit his 2nd HR. trail 4-1.

OMG......#homerfest

And Tomlin is yanked. 

5-1 on 4 HR's and Tomlin is out of there.

We lose this game and Tomlin will go to 0-3, 9.24. 

This was so predictable. Thankfully no one was on base for any of those HRs, but yeah...Tomlin not good.

And why is Lindor bunting there? Cost them a chance at a huge inning. Fucking ridiculous that he hunts as much as he does. Tito won’t ever tell a player to not sacrifice, but he really should.

We want him to hunt, but not bunt. ;-)

Well, if it starts pouring, the game will be official.
