That could get more and more important in the next few weeks. Looked like a sure loss for Cleveland, but no.

Same concerns everyone had the last 2 years when expecting to set another loss record. I'm over it with the success this year. Things are never perfect.

It’s an inflection point. They will either figure it out and make ends meet, or they won’t. So far this year whenever they’ve been at this spot the results have been flying colors.

We shall see. Just need to stay thankful that we’re even in a meaningful position well before expectations described… and yet, I will forever question Getz and his deadline “performance.”

Damn? Where the f*** am I and who the f*** are you?

Encouraging game from the guys at the plate today. Psycho Sammy with the triple, Colson getting on the board with a hit, Peters continuing to rake, Chase back to the party, and Peters showing off. Even Doyle had some good at bats and a stolen bag. Vargas keeps it up as steady Eddie.

Tomorrow I hope we see continued signs from all of these guys AND Mune joins the party.

Biggest factors for this club as the finish line starts to emerge in sight:

1.) We need at least four reliable starters and a fifth arm that will at a minimum give us competitive innings (duh)

2.) Colson and Mune are needed big time (duh)

3.) The pen needs to get some rest and have at least three ( ideally four ) arms that are nails.

4.) We must see this team play a tight ship defensively. They absolutely cannot be giving any teams extra outs. Get 27 per game. That’s challenging enough as it is.
