Also why is Moncada playing so close for Seager when in the shift?  That seemed like horrible defensive positioning that inning.

The defensive positioning has been bad all year. Who needs analytics when you're a Hall of Famer.

64 pitches through 3.

This season is going to slip away if we continue to think a trade doesn’t have to happen. This offense isn’t able to win games and the starting pitching is due for regression…plus the defense isn’t good. 

My fear is that we’ll make a trade but too late

Yoan struggling on defense recently is weird, cause he was fine at 3B last year despite having long COVID. 

He hasn't shown much power this season either.  Abreu at 1B looks like he may be washed up.  A college first baseman is their starting LFer.  They have been playing utility infielders in RF.  Weak at the corners.  Weak ass roster.

this team sucks again.

Why the hell is the catcher waving at Kikuchi in the middle of his windup? Just fucking weird. 

Ferfucksake.  Enough with the self-imposed 0-2 counts.  Swing the damn bat.

People are underwhelmed by players like Eduardo Escobar, but look at the farm system (realistically) and then look at how many replacementish level players are in the lineup after Grandal tonight. The bar for what caliber of player can help right now isn't high and hopefully should be available now.

So frustrating to watch this team right now.

It is getting to the point where something must be done. We can not hit the iceberg before making moves. Contrary to popular belief, Cleveland isn't just going to go away. Our offenses are about even right now. At least until Tim, Jose, and Yoan start smashing again.

I think they make a trade in the next week for offense and then another one closer to the deadline 

I’d be fine with that. Offense is a dire need. Whether it’s Escobar or someone else, we can’t keep putting these lineups out and expect to win more than we lose. 
 

Perfectly fine with waiting on an arm or 2 until the deadline

Cleveland is actually playing well despite not having a starting rotation.

Cleveland not falling off at all despite all of their pitching injuries has been a big disappointment.

Hahn is the greatest GM in the history of the game never to have won 80 games.

How about we stop all the personal catcher crap so we can maximize the lineup?  Collins is logging way too many games against LHP.

Because they get to feast on the same bad teams the White Sox do

If Jose and Yoan start smashing.  I'm not worried about Tim.

He's got a sweet gig, for sure.  Probably just takes a nap under his desk like George Costanza.

I'm fine with criticizing Hahn, he deserves it, but the only scenario where last years team doesn't win 80 games is a global pandemic that wipes 102 games off the schedule.

This team is putrid right now outside of Yaz

As Frank said the other day, Timmy and Abreu are trying to pull everything. Problem is they’re not hitting for any power to justify it.

Kikuchi gonna throw a complete game at this rate.

Im worried about all of them right now... no confidence at all.

Who wouldn't take Francona over the hall of fame guy?

That team last year ran out of gas and pitchers at the 50 game mark.  It’s so hard to know if they would have turned it around or continued to falter.

I should feel better than I do with our 2-3-4 up
