It's a 3 game series back in our comfy division. All three games start at 8:15.
The Royals will see Kluber, Bieber and Bauer.
Let's keep the hot bat momentum going.
Go Tribe.
Way to step up to the plate BRF!!
Go Tribe
Could use a sweep here to get back on track.
When do we start worrying about Kluber?

Yeah, let's see how this plays out.
We got 2 back, so 2-2 now in the second.
WHOA!
GS by Lindor!
6-2.
Just read that Salazar is done for the season......shoulder surgery.
^^^^^^ I think we all pretty much had him painted out of the picture for this year.
Ummm... Lindor with a 3 run homer.
7 RBI
Bats are getting hot. Kluber is settled in now. On the TV telecast they are saying that it is a mechanical problem with Kluber. Willis noticed something and came to the mound and it has been smooth sailing ever since.
Tribe wins 9-2
Klubot getting fine tuned
Lindor 7 RBI's
Party at John Mayberry's
Go Tribe
Was thinking about this earlier....I know it's unlikely but the Tribe has the chance to do something that's only been done three times (twice by the Rockies in back-to-back seasons) in MLB history.....have three 40 HR hitters in a season. Encarnacion is slightly behind with a 39 HR clip pace while Lindor is on pace for 44 and Ramirez 46. Most likely never happen as guys will heat up/cool off but that would be a pretty cool feat.

Yeah, they mentioned on the post game show he wasn't staying over the ball (ie the rubber) long enough on his delivery--even though this is like a nano-second in his motion, it was enough to flatten out his pitches--Carl Willis earned his paycheck last night, that's for sure.

As far as Salazar goes, stick a fork in him. He's done.

I can't find anything about him being hurt. All I know is that he was sent to AAA.
Gardens35: You are making an appearance in this thread because your buddy is on the Royals?

unbelievable
Yan Gomes grand slam Tribe leads 6-4 in the 6th.
Bieber still pitching after being down 4-2. The Gomes slam has brought him some extra juice.
Bieber is not as sharp as he has been in previous starts but he is battling. I like his composure for a young pitcher.
