No history tonight (well I guess the Ks are still in play).

Following the game on Gameday and I'm seeing a lot of "line outs" so far against Sale, are the Indians hitting him hard?

f***ing finally. There's the slider. Should have thrown it last inning.

That might be all Kluber needs. By the way, doesn't Cleveland own Sale? He wins the Cy Young hands down in '13 if he never faced the Indians.

Slider time, c'mon

Hoping Sale shuts them down and one of our guys runs into one.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 17, 2015 -> 09:52 PM) Stupid Francona, he should have sent him out for the 9th to set the strikeout record!!! There's always wishful thinking... Francona was ejected earlier in the game, he wasn't the one who took out Kluber.

Didn't see it what happened?

Kazmir at 73 pitches at least.

We're hitting over .280 with an OPS greater than .750 as a team the last 13 games and we're scoring less than 5 runs a game in that span, last inning is a great example of why.

Getting really sick of Samardzija, doesn't he know he's pitching for a contract?

Should have been a quick inning, what the hell Jeff.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 17, 2015 -> 02:57 PM) Let's hope it continues when they face the two most beatable teams in the division at home this week...do they miss Kluber? No it's Kluber vs. Sale on Monday.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ May 17, 2015 -> 02:23 PM) And with 2 outs in the 9th they get a hit. He only had 4 strikeouts, one of those balls were bound to get through the defense, sucks that it came on the last one. Miller's been great this year.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ May 17, 2015 -> 01:48 PM) When I said "the Cubs are coming" that didn't mean I think they're about to win the next 5 World Series titles. I mean that they are going to be a force, soon, for the foreseeable future. It's about consistently getting to the playoffs. That's what they're trying to build. And unless you're just an insecure/jealous/hater, you should be able to see it as well. I never said they weren't going to be a force, they have a bunch of super young talent that is already playing well, and though their pitching staff leaves a lot to be desired right now, they definitely have the resources to improve it, especially if they pick up a Cueto/Greinke/Price this offseason.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ May 17, 2015 -> 12:47 PM) Amazing to me that even post-2005 so many Sox fans are awkward 13-year old girl insecure when it comes to the cubs. Face it, people. The Cubs are coming. They'll have the best offense in the game by 2017. And they have the system/resources to get the pitching they need. I'd be OK if the Cubs won it all if it wasn't for the fact that immediately afterwards 50% of Cubs fans would become insufferable douches and I'd have to hear the media nauseatingly wax poetic about it for the rest of my life. At least when the Red Sox ended their drought I wasn't living in Boston surrounded by their fans.

We haven't swept anyone yet, let's change that today.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ May 17, 2015 -> 01:24 PM) Hope I'm wrong but I have no faith that he sustains this. He doesn't need to sustain it, he's the fifth starter. Even if he falls off a bit, that's fine if the top 4 guys pitch like they can.

The Cubs are coming. They'll have the best offense in the game by 2017. And they have the system/resources to get the pitching they need. Even if that does happen there's no guarantee of playoff success, and the bigger the hype the more fun it is when they fail (2003 and 2008 were quite fun to watch).

Anyone else worried about Robertson? He doesn't seem nearly as sharp lately. Also can't have Shark throw his standard 50 pitches through 2 innings tomorrow, we need our starters to go long into games without an off-day the rest of the month.

AL Central has 3 of the top 4 records in the AL, and 3 of the top 7 in the MLB. Wonderful.

This is where I'm jealous of the Sox fans who live outside Chicago. The hype is going crazy right now, to the point where I couldn't ignore the Cubs even when I want to.

Sox have now scored 4+ runs in 9 of the last 10 games. Has the offense turned the corner?

At least he threw a lot of pitches again.
