Minaya in a tie game in the 8th? Ricky must have got the call to try and lose

Three called tonight that were out of the zone

He swung though. Nasty pitch, but he's still doing a very poor job of picking up anything offspeed.

Need to put something on when Tilson is up and Anderson on base.

No thanks to being in same division as Cardinals and Cubs, as they have a better chance than Indians IMO of being good the next 5 years than the Indians.

Omar!!

Nope, definitely fastballs. Change was around 81 this inning. He's thrown a few at 92-93 since. Probably just gassed earlier due to the heat

Lopez down like 6 mph right now. Hope he's ok, as first two fastballs were 89 and 90

By no means do I dislike Yolmer. I've said for two years now he can be a super utility player on a contender

Real nice game for Anderson

I deleted it because I saw the 3rd base comps, which he's improved upon. Almost all his errors have been due to having to speed up, which is likely due to inexperience there. I still stand by my belief they will upgrade there this offseason and I think it's Moustakas or bust.

13 base runners in 5.1 innings for Fulmer. Really wish they would just make him a two inning reliever. Just wasting development time right now.

About half of the guys you mentioned are pretty low ceiling guys though. Henzman, Foster and Flores aren't exactly highly thought of. I like Henzman as a sinker ball reliever though, but doubt he has the velocity to be a starter.

Timmy with a good defensive game so far

Palka plays entirely too deep. Not a fan of Lopez having Palka in RF and Omar catching.

Because of the highly optimistic thread on soxtalk today. And of the guys you mention, I still don't think you can field a 5 man MLB rotation. For or the record, I think the 5 man rotation to start next year consists of Rodon, Lopez, Covey, Dunning and a free agent. They aren't going to promote Kopech until he turns it around.

When's last time he hit a ball hard to left? He did that a lot last year it seemed. Time for our hitting coach to earn his money with the two main young players in horrible slumps.

Needs to stay healthy and come two full seasons for now, do they look to unload him due to impending free agency?

My god Yoan is bad right now. Takes two fastballs for strikes, yanks fastball foul, misses changeup by a foot. He continues to pull off everything.

Yeah I don't get how hitters don't seem to get fooled more by his change up. Have to wonder if he telegraphs it.

No I think he's shown enough progression in terms of maintaining his velocity of late that he should be a starter going forward. He's easily the main guy currently in the rotation that I project to be in it two years from now

We got bad Lopez tonight. Just remember, we have too much pitching . His change up is not very good this season.

Lopez with great stuff in first. Moncada late on an 88 mph fastball up 2-0 in count.

And then repeated again with Burdi

Yeah unless someone in AAA has a magic potion for him to regain his velocity and curve spin rate, there's not a lot of hope for him right now. No way can you compared Giolito and Kopech.
