Indians vs. LAA

4 MLB players have 16+ HR and 16+ SB

Indians have 2 of them

This is the biggest strike zone I’ve seen all year.

Horrible k call on Ramirez. I get why people don’t want a robot ump, but how do you fault a guy for correctly not swinging who strikes out. It’s bs

I frankly don’t get why people don’t want it. There will be issues with off-speed stuff catching the zone, but ending in dirt — but those issues can be tweaked easily. Trackman has already tweaked the zone in minors to make 80% of the ball catch the top of the zone for a strike versus just clipping the zone.

Reyes is pressing. Golden sombrero today. 

What a great job by Bieber. (CG #3 leads league)

I look at it this way. Twins have a very favorable schedule compared to us. But we just got through 6 of those above .500 games and they are 6 less vs below .500 and only lost 1 game in those 6. That’s a win. Obviously need to make hay when Twins play good teams and we play bad. But that week stretch is a win.

Marlins and Royals are awful. Houston is obviously great and LAA is solid (we knocked them below .500). LAA may tank with their schedule, but can’t do anything about that.

Now we welcome Texas, above .500 and fighting for WC. Of course we get their top 2 pitchers, but gotta take 2/3. Twins playing Braves — that’s the type of series, even at home, we need Twins to lose to come back on them. That and obviously head to head games.

SWEEP

And there goes Salazar to the IL. Supposedly his groin was keeping his velocity down last night. Woof. So Clev, Plutko, Bieber, Plesac...

Olson also to the IL

May have been mentioned on other threads but Salazar is likely done in Cleveland. Normally a player would be told to "go to the facility to rehab" but they told him "go home."

Maybe because he didn’t disclose his groin problem prior to his appearance.
