  • Our receivers were whining after the game about shoes and wearing brown jerseys instead of white jerseys. It's too bad that winning football games isn't the priority on this team. Freddie has lost control of the team. The lack of discipline on this team is unbelievable, and it only gets worse each week.

  • We are very excited here in Massillon about winning another state title #25 ( but who's counting). We dominated this year's computer points. We may be winning another state title when the AP results are released.

  • You have a better chance of scoring at least one run with a runner on third and one out than a runner on second with 0 outs. This calculator shows it https://gregstoll.com/~gregstoll/baseball/runsperinning.html just take the complement of 0 runs scored in each situation.

     

    Laley's data shows that your expected outcome is greater by not bunting, but if you are down 1 run in the bottom of the 9th all that matter is 0,1, or 2 runs.

    With that said, I believe that you have to look at the players involved. We never all will agree with Tito, but he is the best tribe manager of my lifetime, and I trust his decisions.

  • I wonder how this will change the rotation for the Minnesota series.

    And there goes Salazar to the IL. Supposedly his groin was keeping his velocity down last night. Woof. So Clev, Plutko, Bieber, Plesac...

    Olson also to the IL

    In a strange way, I'm glad to hear that Salazar is hurt. When I saw him pitching on Thursday night, I thought that his career was over. Maybe there is still hope.

  • What win total do you think that voters will look at for pitchers? Of the ones mentioned, only Verlander and Sabathia are over 200. Some of the others are still quite a bit away from 200.

    Will Indians back out since Reds didn’t pull him? Puig might be looking at several game suspension.

     

    He was my favorite Reds player this season. I think you’ll love him. I’ll be rooting hard for him.

     

    On the video that I saw, Puig was doing a lot of yelling. Is there a video that shows more or what he would have done to deserve a suspension?

  • Unless we are overwhelmed in a trade offer, I hope that we keep Bauer. I don't think that we can count on Kluber, Salazar, or Cookie at this point. Bauer is an a-hole, but he is an a-hole with some talent. It's practically impossible to win with all good guys.

    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.

  • Twins lost this afternoon. We have a chance to cut their lead down to 4 games.

    Mercado misplayed another fly ball tonight. We got out of the inning without any damage, but I'd much rather see him at a corner position. Play Allen in center.

    Prior to last night, he went 5 for his previous 15. With 3 2Bs and a HR. 

    Hes struggling, but you can see the power potential. Unfortunately I think he needs to learn to hit the offspeed pitches in the bigs. Don’t see how mashing AAA pitching more will help. He won’t see enough, and they won’t be as high of quality. 

    I think that he can also use work defensively at AAA. There have been cases where he struggles to make what should be routine plays for a major league first baseman (fielding grounders, digging out low throws to first, footwork, making correct decisions on cutting off throws from the outfield, etc. ) I get that we are counting on him mostly for his bat, but I'd hate to have a guy that young who can only play DH.

    I feel the same way and it’s going to be Bauer.  I’m going to be pissed if we deal Hand.

    Go Tribe.

    Go cat_lover!

    (to Al Bundy: I apologize for calling you a troll and I hope you keep posting here)

     

    No problem, I've been called worse. I'll also be pissed if they trade Hand. I'm not opposed to trading Bauer if we get value in return, but I am opposed to trading him to the Yankees or Astros. If we can't get value from an NL team, keep him.

  • Over the past 6 weeks, we have done a great job of beating up on the bad teams (with the exception of the Baltimore series). We have 7 games left on this homestand against 2 horrible teams. We need to continue to dominate the bad teams.

    What the fuck are you cutting that for, Santana?!?

    It was a horrible cut, but it was Bradley. Santana was DH today. I hate to question Tito, but I would like us to see our best defensive players against the Twins. We can't give them extra outs/runs.

    Michael Brantley ?

    I may be mixing up my years, but I think Brantley struggled his rookie year and was sent down to the minors a few times.

    The last major league ready rookie center fielder/outfielder for the Tribe was Rick Manning.

    Discuss.
