Hopefully the ASG break didn’t cool off the Tribe, as they welcome the Twins to Cleveland for the biggest regular season series in probably at least 3.5 years. I’m pumped for this, but feel 2/3 is pretty crucial. Lose this series, and Twins have a lot of breathing room moving forward.

We are throwing Clevinger/Bauer/Bieber. Twins haven’t announced. 

2 of 3 seems pretty important

Go Tribe. 

And, yes, crucial series.

Go Tribe! I saw matchups on twitter:

Sat- Jake Odorizzi vs. Bauer

Sun- Jose Berrios vs. Beiber

Tribe!

Go Tribe.

Go Tribe.

Jose on 2nd, no outs, k, foul fly, k. Not ideal. Not sure why Bradley is playing.

Awful at bats again in the 4th. Bauers and Bradley.

Whew, Robo got it done

Sending Birthday wishes out tonight to Malik in Mansfield, Bennie in Bentleyville,  Ralph in Rittman, Clyde in Columbus, and Uberto in Urbana.

Happy Birthday ladies!

Clev is a beast

An error by Goody and a misplayed fly ball by Mercado and Twins lead 4-3 in the 7th.

Awful miss by Mercado. Inexcusable 

Shit defense that inning. Allen is GG caliber CF. Why is Mercado there and not him? They should be swapped. That makes no sense. 

Blowing it. 

I gotta look at the Mercado replay and see what you guys are talking about, as I was listening on the radio. 

As I typed, a solo homer to make it 5-3. 

Upon review by BRF........He froze and got burnt.  The center fielder is your outfield leader. You cannot let that happen.   I agree with Laley.......Allen. 

This is gonna be a shitty loss. In complete control and then an error and misplayed fly ball and now 3-5 in the 8th.

“This is gonna be a shitty loss.” : Laley

And...........he is correct.

this--no reason at all for him to be in CF--that's on Tito

The last major league ready rookie center fielder/outfielder for the Tribe was Rick Manning.

Discuss.

Mercado took basically 2 missteps but that ball land farther over the glove than it may have appeared. Ball came off the bat weird too. Allen May have caught it but I don’t think that ball gets caught unless read perfectly by one of the better CFs...and Allen is.

^^^^^^^^ I agree with that and at least he would have had a shot at it.

I was thinking Willie Mays Hayes.

Michael Brantley ?

I may be mixing up my years, but I think Brantley struggled his rookie year and was sent down to the minors a few times.
