Beautiful DP. Nova is lucky though, all these sinkers are being served on a silver platter right down the upper middle part of the zone. I guess Cleveland really is struggling to hit. Nice to see.

Thats how you do that.

Those tweets with Bauer and Anderson are hilarious

Don't really like how Tim didn't get in fromt of that one, despite Stone and Jason talking him up. He kept the ball in fromt but he didn't get in front of the ball...he took ot to the side which is why the ball popped out of the mitt in the first place. At least they got the out.

Welp, did not see that coming. I keep hearing people talk about how the Indians are struggling offensively...really doesnt mean anything against our staff. See what Nova has today.

I'm not usually one to give up on players, and I know the Sox won't give up on him, but I really hope they don't offer him a contract extension. Really don't want to go through what we have gone through with Jones and Danks all over again, because this is exactly what it feels like. Only difference is Rodon hasn't really had any established success lole the other 2 did before their injuries destroyed their careers (not saying Rodons career is destroyed, but it sure is looking like his body doesn't want him to continue with this profession).

As an east time zoner, this start time is perfect ☺

Love the start time. Hate the pitching matchup. Will be surprised if the Sox can score 1 run tonight against Bauer. Will be intersting to see what Tilson can do. Honestly nice to know Engel isn't going to be in the lineup.

Latest deck shuffling: Jones to 60 day IL; Burr reinstated; Tilson Up

I don't understand why they brought up Frare in the first place. -
How do I make it so I can get paid hundreds of Thousands of dollars to suck at my job? Anyone have Fulmer or Minaya's phone number?

This is and will be our only CF option, and thank GOD he will be here next season. Barring the dreaded injury of course. I really think we only have to endure Engel for the rest of this year. My guess is Robert makes it to AAA after the all star break and breaks with the team by May next year.

Take pages out of the books of teams like the Astros, Dodgers, Cubs, Yankees, Red Sox, Twins, Indians, Cardinals. All teams that have been consistently successful over many years in the last decade. Specifically pages out of the books of the Indians, Cardinals Yankees Red Sox and Dodgers, who seem to never ever be bottom feeders, except for maybe a season and then are right back in the thick of it the next year. I tell you, I don't think this rebuild would look as bad as it does now had it not been for all the injuries. Kopech should be in this rotation right now. Rodon should be in this rotation right now. Dunning should be right up there with Cease in AAA dominating, as well as Hansen. Robert should be knocking on the door at AAA. Burdi should be in our pen. Basabe and Adolfo should both be in AAA. It is astounding how much injuries have set this whole thing back. Feels like a snails race. And they keep piling up. Im just sitting here waiting for the next Tommy John or broken Robert thumb, bc none of it will surprise me. What is to be seen is how all these players come back from the injuries. Some of them you really can't have hope in anymore, like Rodon or Adolfo. It will be very interesting to see how all the TJ victims will bounce back. Not gonna lie, I am nervous about Kopech, both with velocity and potential for re-injury. Same with Cease (not so much the re-injury piece).

The hatred for bunting on this board astounds me. The deciding factor for a manager actually being competent is not whether or not he calls for the bunt more than the next guy. I get the concerns about it, no one needs to explain them to me, but Bunting is actually a legitimate strategic play that can work very well under the right circumstances.

Engle gonna Engle

Thats a strike on McCann wow
-
Nice 123 inning

Legit did not know Gio had a slider
