Ah yes....cleanup hitter material.

Good thing Nicky is hitting 4th and Robert is hitting 7th

You lose games when you have many free outs in your lineup. Someone tell The Ricks this

Nicky is inept

That at bat by EE will probably be the worst one of the year.  He looked useless.

Renteria has to go before its too late.... if they really want to win

 

Another jam job to 2B from Delmonico, who's incredibly fortunate not to be classified as an essential worker in the real economy right now.

If I was Rick Hahn and saw that lineup I would be calling Ricky's personal cell phone to tell him to stop the non sense.

I would say, "One more lineup like that and you're hitting leadoff next game buddy." Give you a taste of your own damn medicine.

Small sample size - but he looks like a franchise catcher and that last year was not a fluke.  

Don’t say that around here. Upgrading the catching position via free agency was a must last offseason.

When was he ever "ept"?    I guess with the ladies as a career minor leaguer, he had a not inconsiderable following.

Not gonna win a lot of games with Nicky D in the lineup, wherever he bats.  He doesn't have The Will To Win.  Ricky doesn't either, for that matter.

Nicky can't miss that 2-0 pitch if he's hitting cleanup.  A hard foul ball doesn't cut it.

There were plenty of us calling for more depth due to the injury history of all the outfielders. It’s not a shock to anyone Eloy hurt himself being clumsy.  

A guy with no power... historically bad hitter...

 

Batting in the most important part of the line-up

 

That kind of stupid can't be taught

 

Indians' announcers reminiscing about all the homers Luplow hit against the White Sox last year (Manny Banuelos, had two multi-homer games in one week.)

Dude is definitely a DH long-term (after Abreu's deal is over).

Hopefully he doesn’t suffer a catastrophic injury prior to that in the field

Yup, this isn't some new development and having Adam Engel, Leury Garcia, Nicky Delmonico as starting corner outfielders was incredibly predictable. 

Wow Ramirez is swinging the magic wand. That was in the dirt and he got a hit out of it. 

Rack Em Up!

Or that Lu-Gone, Basabe, Adolfo, Rutherford and former OU high draft pick (now with the Rangers) haven't amounted to much at all.

Nice turn Danny.   Let's get some runs.

It’s so simple, if you think you’re a contender, you have to have more contingencies in place than what this organization had coming into the season.

I can’t seem to get over Nicky batting 4th.  It’s inexcusable.
