I think we got screwed by the Bieber injury. Almost assuredly he was gone, and probably for a bigger haul than Civale (even though he’s not as good now).
I’d like to see us unload Bell for anything. We are a better team letting these kids play. It’s “selling” but making us better.
Good call on Bell!! The Central is so bad that you can sell and still be in contention.

It was good to get rid of Bell, and it was nice to pick up a couple of middle infielders who can't hit in the process. They should fit right in.
Only 1 MI. And he has some pop, which is nice to finally see.

We got 2 and released 1 right away. The one who we kept has played rookie league and class A. He has played 157 games, has batted .234 with 19 HR and 76 RBI. He was a former first round pick who has been a major disappointment and is currently #11 prospect in Marlins organization. He got demoted for threatening an umpire. At least we didn't give anything up to get him.
Got no hit tonight, looked awful.

Hopefully they don't go on a run like (was it?) last year where they were getting no hit every 2 weeks.
Williams getting very little support nearly every outing.
This team……SMH
Wow! What a great series!

Like we should expect anything less? This is a garbage ass team that's ridden the coattails of above average pitching and probably the shittiest division in baseball. Can't hit their way out of a wet paper bag but we're supposed to continue buying the "small market" bullshit.
Used to be a huge Tribe fan, way before the 90's run, and I've become apathetic towards them. If the division didn't exist, none of the teams in the Central are making the playoffs in most seasons.
^^^^^^^ Agree!!!….with all of it.
Thats only been true for a few years. Cleveland was legit 2016-2019.

I get this but my beef with the Dolans has always been them crying "poor" and "small market."
To me, owning a sports team is a luxury, a "play thing" or a "toy" that you don't want to take a loss on but are willing to do so for the joy of owning said team.
The Dolans have always treated this like a desperate "OMG, I have to feed my family with the income from the team" type situation. When that's the stance, maybe owning a professional sports team isn't for you.
Oh, 100% in agreement with that. Part of that also comes down to no salary cap though. Even if you have billions, spending millions on someone like Lindor isn’t worth it when you can get slightly lesser production and severely lesser cost.
What happened between Jose and Anderson last night? Lol bc it spilled over to tonight and Jose dropped his ass.

That was crazy. Significant suspensions I’d guess. Anderson can’t get out of his own way.
Wow! Hosey truly decked him.
Lol the hammy call…

I’ve never seen someone actually get knocked out in a baseball brawl. That was amazing, Anderson got smoked.
