We have Yandy the dandy coming up soon, I hope. Only reason I haven't been clamoring for a 3rd baseman too.
Hate seeing the Tribe wait so long. Got a legit shot this year, don't have to wait till July or August 31st. Hell, Boston has already made 3 trades the last month. They have won 3 world series' since we were last in one.

16757Gomes went down with leg and or shoulder problems. Not the way I was hoping to get him off the active roster. And he even had a hit his first time up.
Re: GameTime!™
16758Tomlin is amazing. Easily the worst stuff among our starters [and among our top 7 probably when Clevinger and Anderson are included] but he pitches a great 7 2/3 innings, just the standard solo homer, for his 10th win, and a series win for the Tribe. Could have been a sweep but we remain in a near dead heat with Orioles and Rangers for best record in the AL.
And Naquin who's got to be taking something, hits his 10th homer.

16759I had Kevin Love flashbacks with that shoulder. Mr Gomes will be out a very long time IMOciv ollilavad wrote:Gomes went down with leg and or shoulder problems. Not the way I was hoping to get him off the active roster. And he even had a hit his first time up.

Baseball is a little more watchable this year. Maybe they eased up on the roids testing or they juiced the ball.

Re: GameTime!™
16762Just hope that last night does not result in us giving up too much to fulfill Tito's need for a better bullpen.
Re: GameTime!™
16764Baltimore seems to have Bauers number tonight. 5 runs in 3 innings so far.
Be polite, be professional, but have a plan to kill everyone you meet.
Re: GameTime!™
16766I think they played the same game over again on Saturday. Let's hope Kluber can avoid another 3-run 1st and Trumbo homer.
Re: GameTime!™
16767This isn't meant as a criticism but Bauer has not been the same since the marathon game he was brought on in relief. He was in a real nice groove prior to and that game, but ever since ...
Team has suffered since then too. 7-10 last 17 games since then. As if we won the battle but lost the war.

Re: GameTime!™
16768This is meant as a criticism of Kluber: He seems to have an occasional habit of giving back a lead as soon as the offense gives it to him. And now a HR and we're behind again.
We'd be down 3-1 instead of 3-2 if Roberto Perez [sac fly] were in Columbus and Gomes were in the lineup.

Re: GameTime!™
16769I agree on Kluber.
And when I hear sabermetrics guys who only look at stats and discount wins and losses (I do understand that they can be random at times) discount the wins category I wonder if they actually watch games.
I do think HOLDING a lead is a skill. And it shows in wins and losses.

16770Then an error gives the Birds an extra out -- I hate errors.
And Cody makes the case for Chapman with a walkoff.
That was a really lousy batch of games.
