Three game set with the Mariners.
Pitching Match Ups: Dunn vs Civale, Kikuchi vs TBD and Gilbert vs Bieber.

GO TRIBE!!

I feel like we should win this series with our two aces going. 

But what the hell do I know?

Probably Jake Bauers will punish his former team. 

Go Tribe. 

FanDuel not even offering the prop for Bauers HR in series. They didn’t off Naquin either — which I wanted to play, and it hit. I could be rich!

Or 1-0 loses

Civale gets out of a bases loaded jam in the first. Tribe coming to bat.

We got a hit! So we didn’t go 9 innings again. Let’s not go the next 8 without another, though.

Tribe up 5-0. Bradley with a 2 run bomb.

7-0 now and Civale is strong through 8.

Games to 6 RBI for the Tribe this year:

• Bobby Bradley - 6 
• Jake Bauers - 43

Will Civale come out for the 9th?

Excellent job, regardless!

Tito has been nothing short of spectacular as Tribe manager. But I think it’s fair to call out his few shortcomings, biggest is his affinity for veterans over youth. And while his patience often is rewarded, in certain cases it’s just obvious he is wrong.

Zimmer and Bradley (and Ramirez) may not last, but it was managerial malpractice to keep them in Columbus as long as the organization did this year. Just zero excuses.

Tribe 7-0 winners
CIVALE!!

This.

And again, I wonder how many games Bradley would have won for us…..ya know….those games where we got no hits or a couple and lost by 1 or 2 runs.

Oh well….. moving on.

Nice win tonight.  Civale doing great.

He’s not known as a defender, but he is an actual 1B. And we have 2 loses directly because the 1B was learning the position. So, likely 2 at least by default.

Tito…

Bobby Bradley has equaled Jake Bauers production in his first 13 AB's of 2021 compared to Bauers 100 AB's w/ the #Indians.

Did we save any service years by waiting until recently to call them up? That's the only possible reason that I can think of.

Bradley, yes. Zimmers clock started 2017 when he played all those games for us. Ramirez I’m pretty sure started in Florida in 2019.

I’m not sure how many days Bradley was up last time, but the season is 187 days long this year, and he needs 172 days to trigger 1 year. So if it was JUST this year, they could’ve brought him up in mid April. But you have to count the days in all the other years. Regardless, I doubt he’s spent enough time to warrant a June call-up to save service time. If anything, early May would likely have sufficed.

Yeah, he had 15 games last time. So, let’s call it 20 days. He should’ve been called up 35 days into this season if they are playing the service time game. Which is May 4 or 5. 

Nice little league start by McKenzie. 

F'n snoozer all the way around!

It's a WIN!

Another terribly played game.

 Amazing comeback!

It looked like it was over.

Nice win!!

GO TRIBE!!

What a surprising win.

What to do with McKenzie? Has the stuff to be a major leaguer, but doesn’t have the control. Not sure where you can go from here if the AAA starts don’t seem to help.

The Assassin stays hot! 

Disappointing loss.
