Cleveland Sports Forum

after facing Clevinger a couple days ago, tonight we see Old Pal Carlos Carrasco who's coming back from time on the IL and a challenging start to his season. Carlos is ow 36 and his Cleveland debut was 14 years ago. How time flies.

Naylor with 5 more RBI
Arias with another HR

Meanwhile the bullpen was a disaster:
Hentges loaded the bases
Karnichak cleared them off with his 6th homer yielded.
Clase surrenders a 2 run 10th lead and the game

Karinchak and Clase with a combined 8 losses.
As I have urged for a long time, I'd ship K to Columbus to try to figure things out. I'd give Touki Toussaint a try; he's been pitching well, cut down on his Karinchak-like tendency to walk everyone, and keeping the ball in the ballpark. Not on the 40 man roster; perhaps they could find a catcher to DFA.

Speaking of catchers, red-hot Cam Gallagher delivered 2 singles, batted in another run and has claimed the starting job for I believe the first time in his lengthy career which tells you how good his competition has been.

If there was a game you want to erase from your memory, this one would be right up there.

You score 9 runs and lose in spectacular fashion.

Enough said.

Next game.

Bo up today as the 27th man

Is this year's team, last year's Twins?

Ah, yes

Nice to be back in the AL Central. Pitching looking like CY Young against the Sox.

Sox pitching looked pretty good also. Thought it might be another 1 run game until one of them hit Zunino right in the bat.

Nice little bounce off Rock Bottom.

LOL good "take" on Zunino.

I try to be patient with this team since I know they all can do better - even Jose Ramirez.

And like it or not Tito teams always always seem to start slow.

Back at Rock Bottom

Your team throws a 2 hitter and you lose.

And our catching continues to suck. Another passed ball and the winning run scores.

I've been looking at the transactions wire and like our hitting, nothing happening.

Get off your ass Antonetti

Bats are booming

Last 3 games the G's have scored over 3 runs.

Maybe it's in Articles but if not a quick summary of an article grading all teams after 2 months. Meisel gives the Gs an F.
Notes the 2 big bats acquired have been terrible
Notes that EVERYONE of the position players is worse this year than last
Especially the 7 year 7 figure contract recipient Gimenz
That our lights out close is no longer at that consistent level
That McKenzie is yet to pitch one inning.
and much more

Who are these guys???

12 Runs 17 hits 3 HRs slapped around a pretty good team

Thought Tito was going to throw the switch June 1.

Looks like a day early.

Naylor's 40 RBI are among the top 10 in the majors; They tend to come in big clumps but they do add up to a solid total.

Giminez had a big day, 4 hits! about equals the total for the rest of May.

Great bullpen work; terrible start for Quantrill, heading I assume for Columbus or the pen

2 RUNS IN THE FIRST INNING! [Naylor rbi double, Bell does the same] innnigs ends when the catcher from hell fans with 2 on.

Biebe has 4 shutout 2 hit innings; no strikeouts. 2-0 mid 4th.
