LFG. I have high expectations for this year. Biebers Driveline offseason looks to have paid off (thur ST and 1 start LOL).
I didn’t even know the season began, but good start!
9:50 game time tonight so that’s a wake up in the morning to see what happened for me.
Tristan has no depth to his curve and his velocity is way down. Cool. Glad he didnt have TJ surgery and rest for an entire year only to need TJ surgery now.

Yeah, I watched a bit of that game last night and he didn't seem to have the same stuff I remembered him having. In the past, I thought he was a potentially great pitcher with some really good stuff and his main issue was staying healthy. Last night, he looked pretty pedestrian. Like "just a guy" territory like most teams have as their #5, assuming they already aren't doing bullpen games on that fifth day.
Bieber to surgery
Tommy John surgery
Fuckkk
Brutal kick in the nuts for Tribe fans

Maybe not, though. Bieber was looking for a decent year to enter free agency. We all (Tribe fans) knew he would be leaving.
Next man up…..We have a 7-2 start.
It’s brutal cause we won’t get anything for him now. Can’t trade him. Cant sign him with the risk of him never being good again. Maybe not even a comp pick (cause offering him the amount needed may be overpaying and he actually stays and signs lol).
They still have a shot, but no margin for error on the staff now. I wouldn’t hate them grabbing a vet arm.
Pretty awesome start for the team and new manager. 16-6
Laureano needs to be a straight platoon player with Brennan. Other than that, not much to criticize Vogt on.
Manzardo should be ready and up very soon as well…
Doing well…could approach 100 wins with being good and playing in this division
Rotation is not good enough for that, imo.

Agree but on pace for 118 wins
Go 82-58 (.587) the rest of the way and finish 98-64
Feels more like a 93-94 win team but what a great start
I think they will benefit by the Sox, and lesser extent the Royals and Tigers, and Twins aren’t this bad, but also won’t be great.
I think, as of now, 90-92 wins is what I’d expect — and will be good enough for the division by 5+ games.
Yesterday was the first game I've watched in a long time. Nice AB by Naylor when he hit the 3 run double.
