Obviously. But still crazy to think Kipnis probably won't win the award.

Santana out and a RHP on the bump for Seattle means Jose Ramirez hits in the 2-hole. I like that.

Hopefully Bauer keeps up his stellar season (minus 2 starts).

Only shot Tribe had tonight was to take it to 15 innings, so Seattle's pitcher got to 100 pitches and had to be taken out.

But, Bauer gives up a 2 Run HR in the bottom of the 6th...which effectively ends this game.

...Disappointing that we can string together wins. If we can win the series (take the next two), I'll be really happy though.

I'm not holding out hope with Marcum. Though, Seattle is the type of team he could baffle.

But a split is very possible and expected, IMO.

Good win last night.

Special kudos to Nick Hagedone who saved McCallister's ass as well as Kipnis' with that HUGE strikeout of Seager. He has looked great the last few outings.

Marcum pitched well, giving up only a 2 run dinger to Cano, but Tito pulled him early with the lead. It's good to see them win the one run game, unlike the loss the previous night. It's how you play the close games that determines where you end up in the standings, and that is almost always the difference between an average team and a playoff team.

One thing that does concern me, is how poorly Swisher runs now after his double knee surgeries. He's almost a liability on the base paths...kind of like Victor Martinez ....without the bat.

Let's get the series win this afternoon!

If Austin Jackson leads off with a hit and then gets caught stealing second base today, I will be quite annoyed
Maybe even cuss on twitter.

They should know better than to run on Gomes. You may catch a break, they've been bringing him back slowly. I haven't seen today's lineup, but he'll probably have the day off.

Tribe trying to battle back from a 3-0 deficit in the 6th. Raburn has homered ... Now 3-1.

Tribe continues to litter the base paths... Now out hitting M's 14-4.... But at least they've tied the score.

Shaw cuts thru the heart of the Mariner's order in the bottom of the 8th like a hot knife thru butter. Going to the 9th tied... The series hangs in the balance......

Tribe hang a 3 spot in the 12th.

Playing the remainder of the game under protest.

Adams has 1 out in the 12th...trying lock down his first career save.
