other than 3rd and 1st being on the bases, its the most overrated thing in baseball, imo.

YES!

Bringing in the closer in a non-save situation strikes again, and this time it favors the Tribe!

Big, big win. Came back twice after blowing the lead early. Chisenhall looked good, and Cord Phelps looks better and better each game at the dish, imo

Gotta love all the Tribe fans there, especially that row of fans who had the "Roll Tribe" tees..

Lot of former Ohioans living in AZ, obviously.

Phelps has gotten better, but he still has 1 AB each game that makes you scratch your head. His last AB was him flailing at anything.

He needs to sure up the glove as well, but he does have definite promise.

Chisenhall however, looks to me like the next big thing in Cleveland. I had heard his defense was weak, but it looked pretty good to me and his arm is amazing.

but it was OCab that won it. Only thing about the kids is their defense.... Santana, Phelps, Chisenhall.
...and with the win stay 1 back of the Tigers.

Phelps is a butcher lol. I mean, 5 errors, in what, 15 games tops for him?? That is an astronomical pace!

Chiz looks like he'll toss a few into the stands but overall he looked solid and hopefully will only continue to improve.

On the radio broadcast it sounded like there were quite a few Indians supports in the stands.

Id say close to about 1/3 of the stadium. Close to or just above 10K.

Yeah. There were a bunch of Tribe fans out there. I saw the Tribe play out in Anaheim a few years ago, plenty of fans out there as well


A much needed win last night/this morning.

Great win for the Tribe. Glad to see them pull off a close victory. I didn't get to see Lonnie's post game interview but now I'm going to look for it.

I lived in Phoenix for a few years. You wouldn't believe the amount of transplants from Ohio out there. They were everywhere. I belonged to the Browns Backers there, which had an enormous membership.

So so happy to see the Chiz kid finally in the majors. 3 summers ago I worked for the Scrappers and I would stop vending and watch every single time he was up to bat. Said 3 years ago he's got one of the smoothest swings I've seen, and that I'd buy an authentic Chiz jersey when he gets called up to the Tribe. That time has come and now it's time to find a jersey.
