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.

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.

Tomlin 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.

I had Kevin Love flashbacks with that shoulder. Mr Gomes will be out a very long time IMO

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

Nice job by the pen tonight - NOT!

Just hope that last night does not result in us giving up too much to fulfill Tito's need for a better bullpen.

Tito gave the kiss of death to Shaw in Sunday's interview.

Baltimore seems to have Bauers number tonight. 5 runs in 3 innings so far.

Trevor has been off his game for the last 3 starts. That is a worry

I think they played the same game over again on Saturday. Let's hope Kluber can avoid another 3-run 1st and Trumbo homer.

This 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.

This 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.

I 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.

Then 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.
