Tribe hosts Tigers

Allen moved into 3rd place on the club all-time list and I bolded his name?

No. Allen is the only good pitcher on that list. And the only one I’ve ever felt confident in every time he has taken the mound, that we are gonna win. Perez had it for like half a season.

Doug Jones was good I guess, but completey different era and the Indians sucked lol.

Granted the Yankees have a much better lineup than the teams they have seen, but I wish we saw this pitching in the ALDS :(.  The bats so far have started right where they left off.

Which begs the question how some of these local d-bags can rail on Kluber for the few bad outings he had in the postseason. Dude was lights out his first 5 outings then he has a couple of bad ones.

Very early but 4-1 against the shitty teams in the Central is a good start. Needs to be like this all season because out of division wins will be much tougher.

They are idiots, that's how.  I still think there was something wrong with Kluber and he wasn't 100%.   We will never know, because he isn't the type to reveal that info.

I miss Tapatalk. OC isn't on there anymore, right? 

Kluber was great. I'm reserving judgment on the offense for a few weeks. We just never get off to a good start in April (EE doesn't start to hit until Memorial Day). It's annoying but it's a fact. I'd rather be the hottest team in October than an April juggernaut. 

FIFY the bolded part.  Also,  tapatalk doesn't work with the new site.  You just have to use the browser on your phone.  Justin designed the site so it should be easy to use with the phone.

Dustin Fox, who is a football guy, was giving Kluber shit on the radio yesterday with his "wish he would've pitched like that in the playoffs" and worse. Fox's partner is a baseball guy through and through and knows baseball. His partner is a Cub's fan and I thought he (Bull) was going to punch Fox for being a dumbass. I was driving down the road thinking "you dumb mf-er....you know nothing about baseball." Yeah, I know....local sports talk but it doesn't excuse them from being flat out stupid.

I lol'd at "Dustin Fox."  Anyone who blames that series on Kluber is a moron.  If the bats didn't die they complete the sweep.  

Kluber has back issues last year. I thought that was revealed? That’s why he didn’t start the series.

Yeah, it was revealed that he wasn't completely healthy.

I forgot about that.  Makes more sense.

Doug Jones was marginal. The next guy on the list might have been the second best closer they had in the modern era, but he fucked up the greatest opportunity ever in Tribe history (Omar said so).  I've seen a lot of Tribe baseball, I would put Allen and Miller as 1a&1b for bullpen pitchers they have had.

I know. It works fine on the browser but Tapatalk pushed notifications on Tribe threads to me so it was in sight, in mind.

Bottom of the 5th. Indians up 4-0 all from the 4th inning where they had 6 hits. Nice to see finally

Warmer weather = instant offense

Nice to see a 4 run lead. 

Glad to see Zimmermann walked off looking fine. That was a rocket from Kipnis. 

Yes, he almost got "Herb Scored". 

Carrasco on a low pitch count might just come out in the 9th.

(Questions asked by BRF in the OP):

Will the Tribe bats come to life? Yes

Will we get a break on the weather? Yes

Will classy grace us with his presence? No 

Go Tribe.

 

Nice job, Tribe. 

BTW, the final score was 5-1 with Carrasco going the route.  

And we are the last team in the majors to get 10 hits in a game.

And we are 7-5. 

Go Tribe.

Carrasco great

Bats are getting better

Party at Gates Brown's

Go Tribe
