Franmil has been a beast all year, but really on a tear since returning

Terrific job by McKenzie through 7, but we only got one run for him.  Then Clase comes in and gives up a homer.  Damn. Baseball.

His pitch count was only 85, and he was still sharp. Send him out for the 8th.

This. I’m all for building his confidence and not letting it get derailed by stretching him. But that doesn’t apply when it’s a 1-0 game and your bullpen has been taxed for about a month now. Fuck it, I’d have said your throwing 110 pitches tonight sharp or not lol.

The real question is how much does Ohtani owe Tito for keeping Bradley in Columbus all year? Cause clearly BB would be leading the league in HRs with a full slate of games.

I was at a friend's and that was our opinion as well. Between the walk-off, McKenzie's great start, the immediate homer after he got pulled and the really fucked up play at third base, that one was insanely entertaining.

So, a 50+ HR 100+ RBI pace. Sounds about right.

10 of the tribe's first 11 draft picks have been pitchers. It's no wonder that we don't develop position players.

18 of 21 picks pitchers. And all of them college. Sticking with the formula that got them here.

If we would sign free agent hitters, I would be fine with that. We will continue to be competitive in a terrible division and no threat at all in the playoffs.

This was/is last year to compete with Sox without a true rebuild.

The Sox are 32-9 against the orioles, Tigers, twins, and royals. Tampa (2-1) is the only playoff team that they have a winning record against. I guess that we will find out in October if they are good or benefitting from a weak schedule.

But they are only getting better. Plus, we complain about missing the entire rotation. They haven’t had 4/9s of the lineup. Eloy & Roberts being the big ones. But then Madrigal and Grandal as well.
