     His eye is still impeccable though.

    Impeccable.  Hadn't seen nor heard that word in long time. 

    He was always on top of the league for walks. 

    Always good to get on base.

    Yet, maybe better to swing away.

    Bottom line for me......not missed as much as I thought he would be.

    ...and has anyone ever made fans forget a player that has left a team like Yonder Alonso has made us forget about Carlos Santana? I can’t recall anyone on here even mentioning him since, maybe, April/May?

    Dude, I was just thinking about that the other day and then you mention it. 

    And then JRam beat out his Tribe record for single season homers by a switch hitter.

  • Wow. 

    A pitcher plays the outfield and an outfielder pitches knuckleballs and does the job 1-2-3.

  • 2-2 T6

    Edit: we just pushed across a run  Now 3-2  

    And we get another run  4-2  

     

    Wondering why Allen was bunting with runners on second and third with no outs in the 5th with Long Hair up next. ?

    He pops the bunt. Clev K's and Frankie can't deliver. 

    Da fuck.

  • Oh shit, I forgot til now. 

    No DH. 

    Can't wait to see "out of the car, long hair" bat.

  • Now the way I see it, we need to sweep to win the Ohio Cup. 

    Two out of three gets a tie.

    Anything less and we make SportsAndLady happy. ;-)

    Go Tribe.

    Hammy going “ape” over opponents great plays is EXACTLY WHAT MAKES HIM SO SPECIAL. Sorry BRF, he is a homer like all of them, but his enthusiasm for all great plays and performances sets him apart for me. I love that about him.

    I knew this would be coming. 

    Did you get the part where I said that I appreciate acknowledging great plays by the opponents, but just not equating it with walk offs?

    So we agree to disagree.

  • On Hammy:

    In the T8, Alonso hit a drive that would have made it 12-1, but Engel made a great leaping catch for the 3rd out. Hammy goes foaming ape shit crazy about what a super catch it was. I'm like: dude, don't make your voice equate to a Tribe walk off on a great catch by our opponent. It's great to recognize a wonderful play.....just jack it down a couple notches. 

    So going to the bottom of the 8th, with Cimber coming in and Engel as the first batter, Hammy says: Well, at the end of this day, Carrasco will be 14-6. I'm saying how about STFU about that til we get 6 more outs. 

    Engel hits a home run. Then another homer. 

    Then the 9th. 

    Otero and Allen.....geez. 

    Hammy admits he may have spoken too soon in the 8th. 

    (And I will insert that I can't stand how he rolls his R's, like when he says "three" )

    But, overall, he is usually excellent. 

    Just not today. 

    End of rant

     

    Bring on Cinci, cat_lover.

  • Indians win. 

    I'm going to post later about what Tom Hamilton said that almost cursed this game into a loss. 

    WTG cat_lover!

  • And now Otero comes in for the 9th, gets the first guy out, then decides to blow donkeys.

    9-5 with Allen coming in. 

    And he is continuing to blow his now save situation. 

    9-7. 

  • BRF replied to "Tribe @ White Sox (Series thread)" at 05:16 pm

  • Cimber is in for the 8th and decides to let people hit solo home runs. 

    He gets out of the inning. 

    9-3 T9

    side note: Hammy is pissing me off. 

  • BRF replied to "Tribe @ White Sox (Series thread)" at 04:44 pm

  • 7-1 T7

    Carrasco still pitching. 

     

    Also of interest is Kipnis batting third today, with Diaz as the clean up hitter, and both with 2 hits. 

    Edit: One inning later and each of them now have 3 hits. 

    9-1 in the 8th.
