Giilito problem, which is being greatly overblown here as he's given up nothing, is that he's predictably a two pitch pitcher the first time though the order. He doesn't really work the slider in until the 2nd time through. People are just sitting on the change or fastball and waiting. Not too worried.

Sox have to make a trade, right? Just saw the video, so hard to tell.

It’s going to be Hamilton, Garcia, and Engel if he ever comes back.

@ScooterMcGee make a thread so we can lock this.

Sorry!!! I actually completely forgot, was busy all morning. Just turned the game on.

They have Hahn over a barrel now.  We’re not going to get the Tauchman to SFG special discount as a threat to every team in the AL...not unless there’s a significant overpay.

Didn't Yermin hit a long home run against Plesac the last time the Indians were here? Why the flipping hell isn't he in the lineup? Lamb looks so crumby.

Right field is a death sentence today for fly balls. 

Would have been Vaughn’s first homer under ordinary playing conditions...alas.

He showed up late so TLR took him out of the lineup.

Apparently late to clubhouse...now watch his season go into a tailspin, aiyo.

Cleveland would probably have a few runs if it wasn't for the wind today.

His velocity is down about 0.5 mph on average.

He ain't gonna have a choice. We now have the worst outfield in baseball offensively.

Which is almost meaningless given that it's April (I guess technically may now).

Vaughn Engel Eaton would not be the worst offensive outfield in baseball.

I don't think I saw any 91s and 92s in 2019 but there have been a bunch this year. 

I've seen 1 96 and 0 97s all year, and that is what he was doing the last two seasons.

If Vaughn hits like he did at Cal, no...

That outfield has a combined 3 homeruns right now. That outfield will probably hit less than 30 home runs combined this year.

This is seriously a game thread out of hell. First Yermin gets benched for being late and now Luis is seriously injured. Bad luck all around.

Jack you just said yourself his velocity is down .5! Mph. You may not remember it, but they happened. .5 MPH is absolutely nothing to worry about. 

Lucas finally threw a slider.

Yeah not sure if this is dead arm or his mechanics are out of whack again. He also isn't locating the fastball at all, which makes it real easy to sit on the change.
