Standing O for EE in Toronto - nice!
And he promptly gets an infield single!!

Not looking good for the Tribe tonight
How long does Bauer stay in the starting rotation?

When Kluber returns, Bauer is out of the rotation. No minor league options unfortunately. Don't know if he'll be better in relief, although maybe concentrating a couple of his many pitches will help.

Bauer can't spot the fastball. He grooved three pitches and it cost him four runs. Nasty breaking ball would work if he could locate on the corners rather than down the middle. He should take lessons from Stroman. This one looks grim. Stroman is a very good pitcher. It's going to be tough scoring four runs.

Donaldson, Tulowitzki and Martin are all out with injuries, so this SHOULD be a good opportunity for us, but not with Bauer grooving pitches!

At least Stroman is a righty.

THREE GDIPs in 5 innings?!?

ROBBED!

Trevor is done after 125 pitches!

Well, we got 2 back, but then EE and Ramirez fail in the clutch

And we go quietly in the 9th.
This is the team that is favored to win the division and return to the WS?????

We didn't catch the breaks tonight. A lot of hard hit balls to the wall tonight. Ramirez was robbed with two out and two on. I had that one marked down as a triple, two runs in. With a bad bounce, maybe an inside the park homer. Ramirez just missed on in the eighth. Two on, a ball and two strikes lined one of the facing of the second deck wall. Just missed a three run home by around ten feet. Ramirez goes 1-4 and very easily could have been 3-4. Sh*t Happens! A bunch of missed opportunities. Three double plays took us right out of this one.

Bauer pitched OK after giving up the two homers, too. But for us to go back to the WS, we have to start getting some of those breaks, too. And why not start a runner or try a bunt, rather than hoping we don't hit into yet another double play?

Ah, expectations.......

Let's see

We're in first place

We're 3 games over 500
