At least he is good. Avila kills us and only us. That guy blows versus the rest of MLB.

Kluber left with injury, which was feared when he left after 3IP and 55 pitches.
Thankfully, just a back. But back injuries can be fickle.

Just a back? That's that's the number 3 worst thing it could be after an elbow and shoulder.Laley23;1851225 wrote:Kluber left with injury, which was feared when he left after 3IP and 55 pitches.

A bad back could linger for a long time.

Back is better than anything arm and shoulder related, but can be fickle.

Ugh... whoever was hoping to see Clevinger may get his wish. Hopefully, it's just the cold weather causing Kluber's back tightness. I would expect the Tribe to take no chances ...I predict 15 day DL

Is there a 15 day DL anymore? I think it's just 10 now.HitsRus;1851232 wrote:Ugh... whoever was hoping to see Clevinger may get his wish. Hopefully, it's just the cold weather causing Kluber's back tightness. I would expect the Tribe to take no chances ...I predict 15 day DL
Bright side of today, Yan Gomes continues to show life at the plate.

Bauer & Tomlin are hot garbage. Saw a stat that in his last 27 starts, Bauer has only held an opponent to less than 3 runs 5x's. Dude is a head case who needs to be jettisoned. Tomlin isn't much more than a batting practice pitcher. If Kluber is down for any length of time, they are going to need wins from Carrasco & Salazar in every start because the other two can't be relied on.HitsRus;1851152 wrote:In Bauer's defense, he was victimized by some pretty shitty umpiring. He made some good pitches that just weren't called. That said, that may be a reason, but it's not an excuse....good pitchers overcome that stuff. I'd give him one more start before turning to the farm. Bauer has earned ( at least in my eyes) a longer leash....but there is some talent down in the minors that deserves a shot.

Yep. No talk about the Red Wings this year because they were trash. In the NBA, he's just talking about "printing shirts" for the Warriors because the Pistons are trash. But hey! The Tigers won a couple games at the very beginning of May!like_that;1851265 wrote:You can only expect classy to show up when things are going his way.

Colon called up, probably for only 4 days until they call up Cleavinger for the rotation spot.

These guys are better than average #4 and 5 starters.BR1986FB;1851250 wrote:Bauer & Tomlin are hot garbage.

Tomlin is a solid #4 pitcher. He has average stuff, but his game is fully polished to the extent of allowing him to have enough success to be a back of the rotation pitcher.
Bauer is still developing as a major league pitcher... he has great stuff, enough to project to an eventual # 2 front end of the rotation pitcher. He obviously needs more polish but I guarantee if you were to " jettison " him, he'd be claimed before the ink was dry. So, how long does/will it take? Consider that Cookie Carrasco was the crown jewel in the Cliff Lee trade. He was terrible... much worse than Bauer ...for years.

Tonkin is better than average 5, but can't give you length without becoming below average.HitsRus;1851350 wrote:These guys are better than average #4 and 5 starters.
Bauer is better than average 4 in that he can go 7IP, 2 ER, 9K once a month...but might suck 3 of the other 4 starts with a second good one mixed in.
Ill take it from either, especially Bauer, but might as well see what Clevinger has. He has been lights out this year.
Also, Yandy sitting at .400 since being sent down. Slight increase in power, which is what the main thing Tribe brass wanted to see out of him.

Tribe up 1. Allen coming in to try to lock it down in the last of the 9th.

Never in doubt for Allen. They all can't be 1-2-3.
