I pulled the data from ESPN. It's ranked by average attendance.

I posted it alphabetically. Because comparison vs the rest of the league doesn't matter. Cleveland is up 26%, which means the fans do understand they are good and are paying to go watch the team.

I see.

And Merritt gets out of a big bases loaded jam to go to the T3 at 0-0.

That one is all on Urshela--big error to start the 4th leads to an unearned run...he's having a tough inning

I live in North Carolina, and have been to 3 games this year. Kindly fuck off.

And the Angels were Tuesday (23k), Wednesday (23k) and Thursday (28k). Those are not awful weeknight numbers. I went all the way back to the Tigers series before ASG. They are at or near sellouts on every weekend, and above 25k for every game but that Angles series and another M/T/W series.

Man clevinger bad and now Bauer in. Hopefully all on a pitch count to continue rotation.

They are. Clev had 75 and would still go Monday. He ended up at around 60, so should be fine. Bauer I assume will be fine since he is only going a few batters. This is his bullpen day I think, so instead of doing that, he is just pitching.

Bauer won't go over his workload on typical day. If he only throws a few pitches, he will finish his "session" after game.

I think Billy is better by a touch. More accurate arm and quicker release. They are two of the very best. Buxton takes some off routes but his athleticism is silly.

Andruw Jones was the best I have ever seen

He may be. I just never get to see him haha. I watch the Central a lot cause of Tribe, but I'll even watch the Central games when Tribe has off day/day game/late game/game ends before other Central games etc, so I see them more often. Watched the Braves a ton as college roommate for 4 years was obsessed. Missed a bunch of Jones' early years, but know all about them and saw the highlights. He was insane.

I also hate double headers with the Tribes staff. Takes what is usually an advantage in the series pitching wise and makes at least 1 game a toss-up.

Hypothetical: Tribe goes on and wins the WS with Jay Bruce being a key part of it. If you decided to resign one, who do you choose....Santana or Bruce?

Santana gets shit on, but he is a really, really good player. Sucks his power has slipped this year.

Thag said, Tribe wins WS, I wouldn't give a shit if we played our Single A team for a year! Lol
