Lonnie! Huge! Finally someone else's error costs them.

My thoughts as well. But, he and Shaw have been overused this year (Shaw leads league in appearances, Allen is probably close to top 10, without looking).

11 pitches is nothing, but Tribe is in the midst of a 30 games in 30 days stretch, Tigers next...and at 4pm...its a lose-lose if you are Tito lol.

Especially now with a 2 run lead.

This delay (which I'd guess 60+ minutes) will make the decision for Francona. Gotta hold on to this big win as tomorrow the odds are probably against you.

Can't put Cody out there with a delay. I think Atchison will get the ball with the lefties heating up. In Tito I trust. Lonnie. not bad on 0-2 pitch.

Just saying offense may be very lethargic playing a 4:00 game and they won't get in before 4:00 in the morning

Kluber should be on a plane now or should have went home a day early to get ready for a day start after a getaway night game. Didn't watch much of the broadcast. Did they mention that at all?

Hammy says storm expected to be 3-4 hours. If suspended, then the game would be finished in Cleveland. If that happens, Cody Allen could finish the game in that he's still officially in the game.

It's very common that tomorrow's starting pitcher jet out of there to be well rested. It's all the others I'm worried about.

The Indians Twitter account just confirmed that Kluber flew home today.

The rest of the boys will just have to pop some greenies like the old days to get up for the game.

Im flying home from Toronto at 5am, stayed up until now, and will be ready for the game tomorrow (I should be at my apt by 4pm exactly).

They better be ready!

Hits is still up for the Tigers thread.

Someone needs to bump this on the 22nd to finish the game before we move onto the next series with the Royals.

I'm not sure if that is true. The Tribe did take the field in the bottom of the inning before being pulled off the field, I'm not sure if Allen was still pitching or if a new pitcher was announced to the umpire.

We can add anyone we want, though. So, possibly through our starter for an inning if we are going straight into second game??
