Big Nap with a big bop. Nice insurance run. 5-2 Tribe in the 8th.

Tribe off to a good start of the second half ... 5-2 win tonite. Carrasco goes 6 2/3 for the win... Allen the save. Napoli 3 for 4 with a dinger. :)

I was visiting at a friend's last night and the mother was watching the Tribe. She's a big fan.

Her age: 103

I kid you not. At the end, she was shouting "we won, we won!".

I told them they should contact the Indians and have them do a shout out to her. They said that they have, but no response. :-(

1-1. This video is awesome. The team held an exorcism for Yan Gomes hitting. https://www.instagram.com/p/BH77T1FBIuE/

Ugh, Bauer is not on right now in the bottom of the 4th.

Sac bunt worked perfectly in the 5th haters! 3-1 tribe, Santana with the clutch hit. (Granted it was Giminez bunting so really a no brainer)

Hopefully Jobu accepts the sacrificed chicken....but what he really needs is to have fear removed from his bat...that'll take rum and a cigar. Jobu will come.

Naquin doubles and Gimenez fails to move him over, but singles by Santana and Kipnis plate Naquin. Lindor whiffs with 2 on. Napoli flies out to end the threat....but the Tribe has pushed their lead back to 2.

Bauer just CAN NOT walk the first two batters of an inning like that...inexcusable

I don't understand why Tito sent Bauer back out for the 7th at like 110 pitches...it was 4-2 Tribe going into the inning.

It's now 4-4 with 2 on and nobody out in the 7th and Otero is on to try to stop the bleeding.

I'm trying to figure out what he was doing in there in the 7th to begin with.....he had a shaky end to the 6th and was at 107 pitches.

edit: I see I agree with TBone....

Otero pulls a Houdini act to save Terry's bacon. That could have been a real clusterf***.

Not only was Bauer coming out in the 7th dumb (must not trust pen) but who the hell pinch hits Gonzalez for Naquin. Stupid

Gomes with an error in the 11th to end it. I'm not sure how much more you can keep playing him.

I agree--the argument for keeping him was because of his defense, and yes he has a helluva arm, but is prone to passed balls-- combine this with a whopping .158 BA and it's a recipe for cutting ties. Either send him to Cbus to get his head straight or send him packing.

Apparently the chicken didn't work. Offer rum... And a cigar ... He will come.

I don't know what they can do, but you have to bring Perez back when he's healthy. These catchers can't hit anything.

Also Brantley was held out of his start yesterday (supposedly precautionary).

Gomes has a BABIP of like .160. Just historically low. Most guys are up around .300. Not sure if it will even out, but I can't beleive the bad luck he is having.
