Some good Tribe news:

@MLBastian: Indians have confirmed the signing of 16-yo SS Dorssys Paulino out of the DR. Reported signing bonus was $1.1 million.

Tomlin, Carrasco, and Masterson going for us. I don't see a sweep.

True, we used the worst part of the rotation in this series....even though masterson is not at fault for not getting wins

Yeah, Masterson has a 2.85 ERA but won his first game since April 26th in this series. Crazy.

It doesn't help when you've walked like 25 batters in 16 innings lol

Guessing that with pitches 100+, you are basically guessing.

i get that...but when a guy cant throw strikes and you are slumping...you don't swing at the first pitch unless it is on a tee.

Maybe so. But he threw a lot of strikes in that inning.

But still I see what you're saying

also, I love that Joe Smith's era is under one and he hasn't allowed a run in like 7 years, but I don't get it...a lot of his pitches seem like they catch the meat of the plate. That crazy arm angle must be really deceptive.
