Who would have believed that?

Go Tribe. 

Tribe!

Plawecki: 6 batters faced, 6 batters out

I just read that Moroff had been DFA’ed to make room for Anderson. 

Leonys will sit out a few more games because of hamstring tightness. 

First 3 are 6:10  starts.

Go Tribe!

So far Bauer’s mouth has written some checks that his pitching can’t cash...he’s getting hammered 

I heard the radio guys say that Anderson is now part of the rotation. I would hope that he is the 5th man, then, behind Rodriguez.  smh

Bauer hits a guy to load the bases with no out in the 6th and as I type, a base hit up the middle scores two, 7-1. 

Rodriguez is part of the rotation as well, Anderson is just labeled 4th because of the days they fall on within rotation. I expect Cody to be sent packing when Clev returns.

Not worried about Bauer. But curious as to his last few starts. Today in particular has been brutal.

Our juggernaut offense is pissing away another good outing by Rodriguez. 

2-0 end of 6. 

We have one run in the last 24 innings and our opponents have 21. 

Lindor with a base running boner costs us a run in the 8th. Santana takes a called third strike with the bases loaded. 

One run in the last 27 innings

Our bullpen was very good tonight. 

No runs from Otero, Clippard and Cimber. 

This team blows. From Zack Meisel:

There are 30 teams in Major League Baseball. Here are the Indians' offensive (in a literal sense) ranks.

Batting average: 30th

On-base %: 25th

Slugging %: 29th

wRC+: 30th

Home runs: 27th

Strikeout rate: 27th

Keep in mind, pitchers bat for half of the league's teams.

Bieber did good til the 7th, up 3-1, Sox snatched two runs to tie it. He’s out and bull pen time. 

Bull pen good so far. B8 tied. 

How can a guy reach base in 17 straight games at this point in the season and still be batting .198?

Ladies and gentlemen......I give you José Ramírez. 

Ha! Maybe the walk off puts him up over .200!

BTW...bullpen goes 2 and two third innings giving up one hit and no runs (this includes Oliver Perez). 

Tribe wins!!

Helping Hand gets the win

So good to get off the slide... losing streaks happen, but you gotta break them up. Very few teams are winners that lose more than three or four in a row.

Not sure in numbers, but Tribe has to have one of the best bullpens in the game right now. If Clevinger can come back and Kulber come back be solid they go back to another top of the league rotation...then the fucking offense. What can they do to upgrade it? Will anyone in the division trade with us? Because Tigers and Sox have some pieces you’d figure to be available if so.

Tribe up 5-0 after 5. Carrasco sharp. Now in a rain delay and it is very possible the game will not be resumed.

This Luplow kid has earned some extra PT!

Tribe wins 5-0

Carrasco good

Luplow 2 HR's

Party at Ron Karkovice's

Go Tribe

Yes. Good win.
