So nobody wanted to pick up the baton?

Game 1 starts in ten minutes.

Clevinger tries to continue his good pitching.

Go Tribe.

Sorry, I’ll take the next series after a losing one. Interesting stretch coming up. Let’s go

You good.

By our rules, I have the right to start a new thread.

I was just waiting to see if someone else wanted it.

Go Tribe.

A lot of fun to watch AL teams.....Astros definitely near the top.

Kipnis can’t hit and can’t throw—it’s sad how quickly he’s fallen

Scooter is raking and near .900 OPS the last year of play. I’d hate to see him go but he’ll be gone before August I imagine

Scooter is hitting .327 (3rd in NL) and 12th in NL OPS

I was mentioning as a guy the tribe can pick up if they wanted for a good price.

I think it will be interesting to look back at the preseason prediction thread someone made on this team to see how close folks were.

Off to a good start for Klubot. 

3-0 in the 2nd.

Klubot dealing, but what worries me most about the two run dinger he just gave up is that our bullpen has only a three run lead now, and that scares the hell out of me...we need to score more runs!

Tony Sipp is still hanging around, picking up some big bucks for being mediocre.

Hammy: I think you Indian fans know that in the last two months after the 7th inning, the bull pen action is like walking on coals. 

Indians bull pen currently ranked last in the AL. 

Kluber stops the Stro's in the 7th. 

Will he come out for the 8th?

10 K's, but 110 pitches.

5-2.

According to Andre Knott, Miller “hurt his back the other day”...this guy is as fragile as Brantley.

He’d probably be an ace in our bullpen this year though.

And the ball is handed to Neil Ramirez.

May the Force be with you. 

Kluber sets club record with 22 straight starts giving up 3 runs or less. 

Anyone want to guess who he passed for the record?

Ha ha! Right!

Ramirez gets one out, then a solo bomb, then a double that was almost a homer. 

And now Tito brings in Allen.
