Well, well, well... a nice little sweep over the weekend to keep the Tribe 3 games back. Now onto a 3 game series to finish out the homestand. 

Civale vs. Minor

Plesac vs. Jurado

Clevinger vs. Lynn for some afternoon baseball

Let's take at least 2/3 and move on to a 4 game clash with Minny at their place (they are hosting the Braves this week)

Facing 2 good pitchers. Minor hasn’t been great of late though. Lynn has been very good. I don’t know how their current offense gets it done.

 

Tribe should take 2 of 3

Of course Rangers get to throw the two pitchers who can win games.

Watching Puig throw it from the track in RCF to 3rd...only to watch Mercado bounce it twice (first one just past the dirt lol) from shallow center to home.

^^^^^^Looks like the Rangers read Mercado right.  That throw was some weak sauce.

Nothing pisses me off more than called 3rd strikes that aren’t strikes. Bring in the robots

This isn’t supposed to be happening with our new lineup.

It’s just so dumb. They deserved to lose just for that stupid decision. Glad we took our expected chance of tying that inning down with the decision, and also basically killed the chance of winning. Just asinine.

Civale with another good outing.I agree with everyone on the bunting. They have shown all year that no one can bunt and still you try it. I don't get it.

It’s not that. Naquin got it down. It’s that it has been proven time and time again that statistically makes it HARDER to score a run by giving up an out. Your odds of scoring go down when you hunt someone over and make an out. It’s just a dumb play that results in bad results.

And when it is “successful” it helps you score 1 run. Makes it so much harder for a big inning.
