Carlos Carrasco pitching for Mets tonight.

I feel like I could do that

I might have a couple more strikeouts, but 0-27 sounds like my kind of month!

Carlos Carrasco pitching for Mets tonight.

0-2, 8.56 era

I thought he was done a couple years ago.

Edit: Dang, just looked him up and he was 15-7 last year!

Karinchak….ouch

Why did Tito bring him into the game? So frustrating.

Classic loss. And to Lindor. Gross. 

I’ve about had it with this team. 

Rain out today.

Day/Night double header tomorrow.

Karinchak with bases loaded to Alonso was…a choice that a manager who needs to retire makes.

So he’ll be right back down

He won the "Guardian for a day" drawing this morning.

Unless Gallagher goes on the DL for that sore thumb.

You guys will smack Scherzer

Welp, there's the kiss of death for your offense in that game!

So apparently not even letting Bo start game 2.  Make it make sense.

They have to work him in slowly. 🤦‍♂️

Game 1: Another familiar script played out. 

Not great

So in this DH the Indians are facing 2 starting pitchers that total 449 career wins and 6432 career strikeouts. Gotta be a record and also they are 1 and 2 in active strikeouts….almost exactly the same total. 3213 and 3219

Combined 6 Cy Young Awards and 15x top 5

And, Hammy said that Cleveland is the team that Verlander has faced the most in his career with 50 some starts and, amazingly, a 22 - 24 record. 

Edit: make that 23 - 24 now. 

And, wow, Bieber gets the rare 8 inning complete game. 

I don’t think there is an obvious fix here. But to keep playing guys who will not be on the roster next year, and have little to no upside even if they turned it around, is definitely dumb. Tito needs to switch it up or the FO needs to step in.

Amed and Zunino are not going to be with Cleveland next year, and they aren’t good enough to keep playing. This isn’t Jose struggling, or Kwan, etc. Those guys shouldn’t be replaced. But Naylor and someone (Rocchio, Arias, Freeman) needs to be given the C/SS position full time. Valera probably should be given RF at some point also.

And Bieber should be swapped asap for the biggest haul we can get. Tack on on of the MI prospects to sweeten it and get a legit bat here.

I heard that it was the first time that both pitchers of a doubleheader had 3 or more Cy Young Awards.

I would guess that the most combined wins of starting pitchers in a doubleheader is Cy Young and somebody.

realistically since this isn't our year, do we have anything on the horizon to look forward to?
