I gave the ole kiss of death to Yandy. Hasn't hit a ball hard all night. But how about Allen!!

13 game hit streak is longest by a MLB rookie this year.

And I'm not sure but I think that was only his 2nd homer all year, and both have been huge. One giving us the late lead tonight. The other was a walk off against Houston in the 14th inning during Fathers Day weekend.

(He may have hit a 3rd some time that wasn't nearly as memorable)

Holy cow, Melky has turned into a one man wrecking crew! 3rd straight game with homer. And a triple shy of cycle in 6th inning.

Allen made a very nice catch last inning. On run, jumped and caught ball then banged into wall. Banged his elbow on wall but seems ok. I've always been a fan of this kid. Glad to see him playing well.

Well Greg Allen and Melky are certainly putting a whole new perspective on our outfield situation!!

Put Yandy in at 3B and Kip off the bench the rest of the season. Including spot starts in the OF. He's toast.

Hope we all are happy they are beating someone NOT in the Central division. :lol:

Seriously though, without Sale the Tribe's pitching is just better. And with Hand/Cimber and Andrew Miller back, their bullpen is back to being a weapon.

Last night, even the bottom of the order hit too! So it's all clicking these first 2 games. Melky and Allen round out this team if they can continue.

Like HB said, Melky has to come out for defense, but the guy has hit for years. Back of the baseball card baby!

Even better he hits well as a righty hitter.

Gaylord - - Edwin is supposed to be back in lineup on Thursday. (day game, BTW)

TFIR - "Even better he hits well as a righty hitter."

As hot as he is right now I hope they keep him in the lineup vs the lefty, Johnson, this evening. Guyer can keep coming in as a defensive replacement.

Honestly, I'd love to see them release Guyer when Edwin comes off DL. Keep Yandy on roster and keep starting Melky in RF. Allen has CF locked down, and we'd still have Davis coming off bench.

By the way, I didn't mention this last night, but I've said it a million times. Do not go down & in to Yan Gomes. He'll make you cry. It's a no brainer scouting report. Don't know what some pitchers are thinking from time to time. I guess they need a reminder once in a while.
