Re: Bauer/Garcia

Don't leave out the part of the story that Garcia was a fucking dipshit his previous bat against Bauer and flipped his bat after drawing a fucking WALK. He is lucky he didn't take a ball to his chin. Bauer is the type of guy that pitches better when people piss him off, so I hope it continues to happen.

Also Indians pitching staff collectively with a 1.75 ERA during this streak...

Man, we can only pray they are this hot in October.

i stand corrected. He might have flipped it after the "altercation." Regardless, Garcia looks like a idiot.

Great stuff out of Bauer. The bat flip on the walk was ridiculous.

I'll eat some crow on Bauer. I was one of the one's ripping on him. He's proven me wrong since July+. Hope he keeps it up. Good for him.

I'd love to see his advanced metrics/stats. Because early on in the year, his results based on those should've been way better. Not this good, but much better than his ERA and record showed. They were actually better metrics than his career averages, yet his ERA was way higher.

I'm a big believer in throwing strikes and getting hitters out.

Go Tribe.

I know he was leading BAPIP at one point, which basically said when people were hitting a ball in play they were getting on at a higher rate than most, which basically said he was unlucky.

Credit is due. I thought he was very average until after the ASG.

Another interesting thing is J-ram needs 13 more doubles on the year to be the first player since 1936 to reach the 60 double mark. If he reaches that mark it will be hard to not give him the MVP

White Sox trot out a line up w/ 4 guys batting under .200. C'mon Salazar, it's an f'in gimme.

Salazar really struggling--I'd be surprised if he makes it through this inning

I'll give Salazar another start to find it. Velocity was fine, movement was there, location was atrocious.

No rehab start since minor league games are done...

Greg Allen sure the hell ain't scared of the big leagues. Depending on zimmer, Brantley and chisenhalls health, he might find his way on the post season roster

However, if anyone needs a score:

Tribe up 6-4 in the B5.

Once a MLB player hit 50 doubles plus 50 HRs, and that player did not win the MVP....

That's bc the media hated Albert belle. It was a joke he didn't win it that year

Yes, because the writers didn't like him.


Edit: Crimson streak scooped me ala Iclfan2.
