This will be a 3 game series with the Saturday and Sunday games starting at 1:00 (actually 1:07...go figure).
Go Tribe!

Hopefully the start of the 2nd half with the jays isn't similar to the start of the 1st half.

Facing 2 LH pitchers to start the series. Not their strong suit. But they have had better results the past few games.

The roof is open.
The Indians better bring their bats over the next several series. The AL East tends to put up some runs.

The Indians have beaten the last four lefties they have faced.

looks like a prime game for perez to blow to start the second half.

I think I'm going to watch Major League again.
The current front office is starting to remind me of the one in the movie.

Im one of the few that agrees with the front office not making a move. This is a .500 team. It would take a lot more than a right handed power stick and another starter to make this a World Series team.
Any move they make should be for next year. This team doesn't have the talent to run in the playoffs...even with a great move.

I disagree, adding someone like hamels and a power bat like willing ham could do some damage in the playoffs. The way Masterson and ubaldo have been pitching lately with hamels is a very good 1-3 in the playoffs. Great pitching always beats great hitting. Add in our bullpen when we have a lead

Con_Alma Tribe bro: We don't get many chances. To have the record we have right now is rare.
And I am an old man.

Our great pitching isn't great as much as it's very good. Masterson and ubaldo are very good. We don't have a true, consistent ace. I think the bullpen is excellent and even they are in need of one more arm. This is not a World Series team. To go all in and make a trade for this year would be silly.

Ubaldo and Masterson are not aces but hamels or greinke are.

With timely hitting it could be. Look at the giants a few years ago. I think our offense is better than the giants were. But it doesn't matter the front office won't do anything anyways

He's dealing again against Toronto. The bullpen owes him one against them.
