This is another series against a sub .500 team that we need to win if we are to be contenders for the wild card spot.

Pitching matchups are favorable.

Hard to ask for a sweep on the road but these guys are chumps this year. Winning the series is a must....a sweep is obtainable. We will be favored in each game.

Isn't it a 2 game series?

Chumps that are hot right now. I think they've won 11 of their last 15.

A sweep is the only way this series can be won.

Yes. I'm dumb. I didn't check that.

This is true. I hadn't noticed that with the break.

See above. I'm dumb.

So the Brewers have 2 hits and 3 runs. They lead 3-1. Tribe just scored and still hitting in the 7th.

Tribe out hitting the Brewers 8-2.

Indians have hit into 4 inning ending double plays and have went about 1 for 128 with runners in scoring position. YIKES!!

I get that we do not have the most talented team, but could they at least play hard. They never try to take out the 2B/SS on the ground ball double plays. In fact, it often looks like they are getting out of the way to help the defense.

Last night's game was unwatchable. Pretty poor performance. I tried to watch but kept getting tired of it and opted to catch up on the last 2 nights of Jeopardy on the DVR.

The champ got really lucky last night. One on the contenders played a nice game but wagered like a ***** on both of the Daily Doubles in Double Jeopardy and didn't put him away when he had the chance.

It was just more of the same that we've been watching all year.....littering the base paths, hitting into DP's. Every team has games like that, but this just recurs so often it's painful to watch.

They are so bad at hitting with men on base. It seems as though they should accidentally get a hit every once in awhile, but no.

1 for 11 last nite. In the finale against Cinci (a game they won) they were 0-7, scoring 4 runs on bases loaded walks...and a Sac fly.

We're ranked 26th offensively, and last overall, in cluster luck. So yes, we should be at least lucking into runs but we're not.

More bad base running.... more hitting into DP's....amazingly we are tied at 4.

Playing the "a couple timely dingers is just as good as 10 singles in under three innings" card to perfection.
