Tribe at Twins

posted by Ironman92

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

They will get bullpen help. It just won’t be Hader. Orioles also have a few arms I’d expect to be dealt. Maybe could grab 1 along with Machado (or Adam Jones).

Ugh. Ugly loss

Go Tribe.

Thought I'd share our bullpen stats:

Innings pitched and ERA

Perez 1.1 0.00

Allen 24 3.00

Miller 14.1 4.40

Belisle 10.2 5.06

Olson 16 5.63

Taylor 6 6.00

Ramirez 5.2 6.35

McAllister 21.2 6.35

Marshall 6.2 6.75

Goody 11.2 6.94

Otero 20.2 6.97

Tomlin 36.1 7.43

Beliveau 4.2 11.57

Drake 4.1 12.46

Ogando 1.0 18.00

Go Tribe.

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

Just why would the team with the best record in the NL want to give up the most dynamic reliever in the sport at the time? And give up a current major league stud for a prospect when they're currently competing? With Cleveland's desperation for one, I'd think their asking price would be stupid astronomical just to see how desperate they are. Unless they lose 20 straight games and/or Hader falls off the map.

I mean, don't get me wrong, I'd love him out of the NL Central, lol, but that just doesn't seem remotely realistic as far as options go. They should be trying to do better than retreads like George "a run per outing this year" Kontos as upgrades, but I can't see a contender willingly taking a step back in the present for a potentially quality future player.

Milwaukee is all in....but they are also the Brewers. I’ve already stated guys like Jared Hughes and David Hernandez to nicely clean up the bullpen, but Indians are a WS contender and they need their “Andrew Miller”.....it’s not crazy to think the Brewers go 18-22 over the next 2 months before the deadline and Cubs get hot a go 27-13.....trending the wrong way Milwaukee would listen.

Regardless I agree right now he’s basically u touchable but guys like Matt Belisle are going to lead to certain heartbreak.

Great start, Clev 

EE takes matters into his own hands with two homers and 4 RBI.

His first was a solo shot in the 5th to break up a perfect game.

Still down 3-1, in the next inning he hits a 3 run bomb to hopefully give us the lead for good. (Ha ha!)

Zimmer made a terrific catch, also.

Oh, BTW, the acquisition of Oliver Perez makes it the 15th reliever of the season.  The Indians 8.01 era by the bullpen in May was a franchise record for any month.

Oh God. 

Back to back homers and 5-4 in the 7th.

Clevinger on his last pitch to tie and then Olson the go ahead. 

Not sure if Tito is trying to make a point, but he’s had four different pitchers pitch to four consecutive hitters in this inning...I think he’s at the end of his rope with this bullpen.

On the FIFY: If he can still get batters out, I don't care if Methuselah is on the mound. 

:-)

Tied 5-5 going to the bottom of the 9th.

yup, that’s our closer...lowly Twins take 3 out of 4...smfh

Twins win 7-5. Rasario with 3 HR's today including the walk off

Holy hell

Another face palm from BRF. 

Thank God we are in the AL Central. 

I will accept this loss in favor of a Cavs' win tonight. 

I may have missed something, and it may have been commented on, but what happened to Hitsrus? He was a big Tribe guy and always posted on these threads.

He is probably so disgusted with the bullpen that he has given up. 

Yes, that made me wonder, too, about HitsRus.

I looked back and see that he posted quite a bit in the off season thread, but has not made one post since the regular season began.
