Tribe at Twins

Tribe wins 9-8

LINDOR!!

Party at Kent Hrbek's

Go Tribe

They should have gone to Firpo Marberry's ..... and tried to sign him. 

Cookie gives up a 3 run homer. 

3-0 after 1. 

Time to get a bunch of runs and then have the bull pen squander it, with a chance we come back. 

Go Tribe. 

Am I the only one worried about Carrasco? He’s been knocked around three out of his last four outings, and can’t seem to finish an inning when he gets two outs. He doesn’t look like the Cookie of the last few years, and we need him to be.

No. 

ENCARNACION!!!

And it is 6-4.

Tomlin on in relief and he wait for it.......wait for it.........gives up a solo HR and the Twins lead 7-4. Tomlin has given up 18 Hr's this year.

I’m worried, as I mentioned after his first 2-3 starts of the year, that his strikeouts are WAY down. Even when he got blasted a few times last year, he was striking out 8-9 guys an outing. This year, no. That says his movement and stuff is really not there.

As long as he is healthy, I think he can figure it out though.

Ironically, Rick Manning alluded to this last night--he mentioned his velocity was off on his fastball and his curve just didn't have it's "bite", and he wondered if there was a physical issue that Cookie might be trying to work through.

Wouldn’t be surprised. Velocity and Ks are the first things I look for when a pitcher struggles abnormally. And it usually coincides with a non-serious injury (knock on wood) that they can play through, but is hurting their ability to be effective.

I noticed in start 1 or 2 for Tomlin his velocity was way down (as if that is even possible lol). Maybe not injury related, and he is just done in general,  it I’m not shocked he is worse than ever. An 86mph Fastball isn’t gonna cut it.

Congrats Frankie

^^^ That's cool!

Go Tribe.

Go Reds.

Well, the Reds suck but Scooter has been a fun watch this season, he and Suarez.

I still root for them. 

Tribe up 1-0 early

You guys have a big prospect you can give to Brewers for Josh Hader? Problem Brews are good and in it....but he would be the #1 piece to get for your bullpen

34 1/3 innings....69 strikeouts! Only 10 hits

6.9/1 strikeout to hit ratio lol

I’d give up anyone, but he won’t be available.

Read yesterday, could maybe get Machado for Bieber and not Mejia, because Os have a solid catching prospect already. 

Well, here we go. 

Tribe got their first score on a double steal with Allen taking home. 

Now to the 4th, after Bauer gives up 3 in the 3rd.

That would be so fun offensively and defensively....but gotta have 3 great arms for playoff bullpen

Bauer gave up 2 mistakes and has been the story of the game.

As Kipnis just blows a double play...
