I did this in 2005 and they tanked the entire last week, so needless to say I bought none this time

Pumped to head over tonight. Looking at Ticketmaster, should be 25k-30k tonight. Let's rock this place!

Salazar is limiting his pitches so far tonight. Probably get 6 out of him and then we will see Mr. Clean.


As a side note to that. I was watching MLBN before the game. They think Masterson cant extend himself as a starter with the injury, but can go full bore (even more than before) as a reliever. They think moving him to the Closer role might be a legit option. If he indeed cant go more than like 3 innings...I am fully on board with that.

I like this idea. A lot.

I would be for using Masterson in that role. Perez needs to go. I am sorry that I forget who said on here that Perez will just do a "Mesa" to us in the end.......I agree with that comment.

Since they brought it up, and dont know.

If all 3 of the teams tie, they go to who has the best record combined as the #1 seed, which is the Tribe. Tribe gets the choice of 1 road game (facing the winner of the play-in game for the play-in game) at their place or 2 home games. Obviously, they would not want to play 2 games where you lose and youre out.

If its a 2 team tie, the head to head decided the home team. We would @ Tampa, but would host Texas. Easiest scenario...lets just get the fucking 1 seed lol.

Big knock by Swish. More runs would sure be nice.

Brantley is really playing well.

Tribe get a run back.

Rays and Rangers both rolling now. Looks like no changes as long as the Tribe hang on. All of these games are gonna be huge right up until Sunday.

EDIT: Fixed it now.

He has been very good all year, and nasty for over a month now. He has been piling up the Ks recently. Im loving it!

Ugh. If only...

No doubt we see Perez in the next save situation, but I would LOVE Masterson to be our closer for the remainder of the year. We have solid pitching even without him, and since our guys dont usually go more than 5-6 innings, we can make him a 2 inning closer when needed. Moves Smith to 7th and Shaw/Allen to the 6th when things arent perfect. Saves us an arm we dont trust, really.
