Tribe vs Royals (Series Thread)

Salazar made 69 pitches in Triple A yesterday w one hit. Fastball at 93mph. They will announce on Tuesday what their plan is for him. Off day Monday, plutko set to start Wednesday. I wonder if that will be changed.

Yes, need to beat the good teams now and crush the bad ones...

.464 for the Twins,

.499 for the Indians.

Cleveland has 19 games left against the White Sox, Royals and Tigers, Minnesota has 33

I think that the head to head games with Minnesota will ultimately determine it. We have played poorly against them this year, but if we can play well in the remaining 10, I like our chances.

I’d love to see him in the bullpen. 7th or 8th inning.

That would be great!

I have very little confidence when Perez or Olson come in. 

Lindor has a lead off hit in all four games of this series.

Mercado singles. 

Santana hits a three run homer!

Great start. Which we can’t say about whoever the White Sox decided to put out there today.

Merrifield doubles to lead off, breaking a skein of 24 straight singles by the Royals!

Covey!......gave up 5 runs on 5 hits without retiring a batter. 

Royals getting to Bauer with three hits and a run with only one out. 

But he strikes out the next guy and Bauers makes another outstanding scoop at first to get out of it. 

Fuck Bauer...hope we can get something good for him next week.

Bauer ties for league lead in walks. (Granted he does lead the league in innings pitched.)

No excuse...let’s get something for him while we can 

Wow......things are beginning to unravel. 

Scored now tied with bases loaded and no outs. 

Not a great trade showcase for Bauer. 

get his arrogant ass out of there 

I don’t get why Bauer insists on throwing so many curve balls. 

Well, he’s removed and we are now down 7-5 still in the 5th. (Ohhhhh and he took the ball and fired it into the outfield before Tito got to the mound ......yikes!)

Guys, Bauer had the 9th best ERA in the AL coming into today. A bad outing (when he has a fever, throwing up and headache...in ridiculous heat/humidity) and we want to trade him? You are crazy. 

How about Duffy giving up 2 singles and a homer to start the game and now stands to win it?

Bad series for Allen: 1 for 19

Fuck yes I want him gone—the guy’s a cancer
