My first game thread ever so here it goes

 

6:05 pm CT, Progressive Field

 

Noesi vs Kluber

 

No lineups yet

Lebron is back get excited Tribe fans.

Sox: Eaton 8, Ramirez 6, Abreu 3, Dunn DH, Viciedo 9, Gillaspie 5, De Aza 7, Nieto 2, Garcia 4; Noesi 1

Kluber is so good. Another 10 k night, methinks.

 

But if Noesi has another stellar outing, we could be reaching the point where it isn't just a hot streak soon.

Oh, let it be so.

 

One of the things that must come out of this rebuild season, imo, is a reasonable plan for the back end of the rotation next year. We've batted zero thru EJohnson, Paulino, Rienzo, and Carroll is doubtful, despite the recent performance. Injuries to Lopez and Bassitt, and Beck's treading water this season, seems to have stalled any help from below. It will substantially boost my optimism in 2015 if Noesi finishes the season strongly, and it would make the FO task far more feasible. We need more than Conor to be among the found/developed pieces to result from this rebuild season.

 

It would be wonderful if we look back a year from now and think of Hector as our new Quintana. Won't be holding my breath, but it's possible.

What in the world happened to Erik Johnson? Good lord those AAA numbers are an eye sore!! Has he gone from top 50 prospect to lost cause already?

So against a RH pitcher a slumping Ramirez is batting second and a red hot Gillaspie is batting sixth...makes sense to me.

Back to back lefties doesn't make a ton of sense

Brantley is having one hell of a year. Patience can go a long way with players

Conor can't be stopped

Conor stays hot.

Gillaspie and De Aza are back to back. Would rather have Eaton and Gillaspie

Since no one else will say it....De Aza stays hot.

Neat-O, Nieto!!

Get that man some more at bats

Sit Fllowers more please..............Nieto double Sox 1-0

I need more Nieto in my life... He has show a ton more patience lately and has been having solid AB's.. Would much rather have him starting then Flowers. I don't care how young he is

He has a pretty damn good line drive swing

Sox 2-0

Good base running by ADA

No Beckham batting 2nd or Flowers . 2 hole and catcher position already more productive.

Eaton is the last person I want to get hit...

He has a pretty damn good line drive swing

 

I know this has been said before but he has a similar swing to Hamilton... I think he can be a good catcher in this league, he just needs to experience and he won't get that starting once every 5-6 games.. I think he has shown in the limited amount of AB's he would hit better then Flowers, which really isn't hard at this point.

And Conor keeps on banging out extra base hits.
