5-5 in this 10 game stretch (Red Sox, Yanks, Mets) would be solid. And about what was expected. Would probably drop 3 games in the process, but keeps them alive. And maybe Twins stumble vs White Sox

Kluber pulled after 1 inning in rehab start

Sounds bad too. Fuck.

Whenever Hand pitches this series, we will get s good sense of his current ability. Will be very well rested and vs the top offense in baseball.

Dave Roberts does it a good bit with his pitchers

Well I’d bunt with 2 out and nobody on if I had that staff.

ABSOLUTELY NOT...the bunt is used to move a runner into scoring position. Period. A runner at second is already in scoring position. Period. If you want to move him to third with nobody out, that's also acceptable, but to say it's the only time is ludicrous--and not very strategic.

Yep, let’s ignore the data behind years and years of research. Literally telling you how often it works out vs not bunting. You score less runs by bunting 1st to 2nd. You’re chances of scoring even 1 run go down by doing so. It’s such a dumb play I don’t know why anyone still does it (of course, only Tito does). Even Hammy, who is as old school as it gets, admitted the other day bunting 1st to 2nd is not a smart play and called Tito out on air (in a polite way)

Offense rolling, with J-Ram leading the way. However, we need Kluber/Carrasco/Salazar to get back, cause Plutko ain’t the answer as a starter (would love him in the pen, though)...TRIBE!!!

Was taking with a friend. Kluber/Beiber/Clevinger and Plesac rotation. Plutko as the innings eater and fuck it, Carrasco as the Andrew Miller with Hand in the 9th.

Solid game! Glad Tito finally benched Mercado. The way Allen has swung since most recent call-up I actually feel this is best lineup offensively and defensively. Allen has been surprisingly great in the 2-hole as he is seeing a lot more fastballs/strikes.

My "certain situations" (which I've recounted too many times on here) are man on first, no outs, and tied or down a run in the 8th inning or later...why in the fuck would you bunt a guy to third with one out when he's already in scoring position anyway?

God no. That is one of the worst decisions possible, and Tribe does it all the time. The only time it’s acceptable is down a run at home/tied home or road m man on 2nd, no outs bunting to third with top or middle of order up. Period.

No Puig sucked this series, but there were still some awful ABs against bad pitchers.

And I swear vs Boston some of our guys overthink pitching. Or maybe it’s Plawecki vs Berto, but 7 straight sliders to Xander?? A fastball top of zone to Betts up 1-2 in count? Woof.
