No one is correct about the final outcome of the trade anyways. Admittedly it's not looking good to this point but not done yet.

It pleases him when Kimbrel pitches poorly, I just don't get it.

Lol, I think they should just pack it up and leave Toronto now and forfeit the last 3 games.

I was just messing with you lol, I can't really name any other trades. I am not sure any of the trade deadline trades this year can be deemed a failure yet but so far not looking great.

Weirdly it seems like he hopes for Kimbrel to fail so he can be proven correct even if it means that it hurts the team.

Name a trade that he tried to acquire talent, but your not allowed to name one that was good lol.

If you ask some of the undefeated message board managers I am guessing they would suggest it is his fault.

So you honestly think TLR wanted the pitch thrown 3-0 that was thrown? Is it possible he trusts Lynn a little more than some of the other pitchers? May not be the case going forward. Guess I will be interested to hear Lynn's comment after the game because I am guessing he will be asked about it.

You're wasting your time. Anything and everything that goes wrong is TLR's fault, end of story.

Yes, they are lucky that didn't end up costing them.

Guess not, should have.

I think they are doing it without doing it.

Yeah I noticed that too, don't like to see that.

I don't disagree that he has to get better lol. I am confident he will get better in those situations. If there is a good time for him to figure it out this is the time.

I don't share your opinion, but I don't think your dumb for thinking what you do. It is a small sample size for a rookie who most likely would have started the year in the minor leagues if not for an injury to Eloy. Like many young players he is learning at the big league level and it will take time. What do you want to do? move him down in the lineup, bench him, send him to Charlotte? Sorry, I am just not worried about it. Oh well, I guess that makes me dumb lol.

No

It is complete nonsense. Even if the White Sox play .500 the rest of the way Cleveland would need to play .750 baseball. If they can do that they deserve the division.

It's incredible. If you compiled a list of concerns with this team if Vaughn's hitting with RISP and 2 outs even makes the list it would be last.

Not sure if you're referring to me but didn't say anything about it not mattering at all. Playing guys who physically aren't feeling well with a large lead just to get home field advantage doesn't make a lot of sense to me.

yes, there is a difference between saying it doesn't matter at all and putting too much importance on it. If postseason success hinges on getting home field advantage I don't like your chances anyways.

Nice inning by Crochet, it's about time the offense wakes up.

We caught a break there and of course didn't take advantage of it, but why is something like that not reviewable? They should be able to look at something like that and realize it was a strikeout.

So in other words, we aren't good enough.

wth are you talking about? didn't you know this a must win? Doesn't matter how TA is feeling, it's too bad for him get your ass out there. This home field argument for playing our players every game is laughable too. Don't need to keep guys fresh, got to get that one game home field advantage lol. I hate to break it to some of our fans, but if our postseason success hinges on having the one extra game at home then we aren't winning anyways.

Nope, I don't have any inside information on any of the off days for any players. I agree, all the speculation on a message board about why someone is or isn't playing is as you mentioned armchair bullshit. I don't believe it is that outlandish to think they are being careful with Robert but I admit it is a complete guess.
