Tuesday looked like a walkover, until it wasn't. But pulled it out with again our bullpen beating theirs
Ramirez got 3 intentional walks and Naylor followed each with:
rbi ground out
unintentional walk
rbi single

3 of our all stars with 3 hits each; Fry with one at bat, as a pinch hitter, left the bases loaded

Worst game of the year, I think.

Bunch of stinkers lately. All of a sudden no one is hitting. The surging twins, or should I say the faltering guardians, could be 3.5 games out after today's games conclude. You would have ask me that just 2 weeks ago, i.would have said your crazy. Our all stars have not lived up to expectations lately.

Remembering Ozzie Guillen and Joe Simon.

What's happening to our team? The sox and tigers are playing better baseball. How can you go from the penthouse to the outhouse in two weeks?

Kc won. Twinkies in sf

Can't keep wasting these quality starts. Another nice effort by Cookie goes down the drain.

Detroit starters Keider Montero, Reese Olson and Jack Flaherty were a combined 2-0 with a 1.96 ERA (four earned runs in 18 1/3 innings). They allowed 11 hits and three walks while striking out 17.

Montero, a rookie, opened the series with 6 1/3 scoreless innings.

Add that to the clunker in florida and we have a problem houston.

All against teams playing sub 500 baseball

A slump is putting it mildly. The bats have gone silent.

I don't think optioning arias out to columbus is going to solve the problem.

Lack of hitters with major league experience is the problem as I see it.

Tbe closest we have is florial and that ain't saying much.

Umm,umm, umm

Twins lose! Twins lose! Thank you sf. We remain 4.5 games ahead of the twins

We should be leading this division by 10 games minimum.

Experimentation time is over. Time to select the players who will lead us through the second half of the season. The revolving door stops in florida.

CLEVELAND, Ohio — Lefty Sam Hentges, a mainstay of the Guardians’ top-rated bullpen, is heading to the 15-day injured list with shoulder inflammation the team announced ahead of its series opener against the Rays on Friday at Troipicana Field.

Great way to start the second half of the season. Too much work for the bullpen. Hope this isn't the start of an epidemic.

every team hits a slump Let's see how Vogt handles adversity

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — Cleveland’s offense, among the best in baseball at scoring runs in a variety of situations through the first three months of the season, is careening toward the All-Star break on fumes.

Tampa Bay starter Taj Bradley held Guardians hitters in check with seven scoreless innings, striking out eight as the Rays handed Cleveland a 2-0 loss Friday at Tropicana Field.

Manager Stephen Vogt said Bradley paired an upper-90s fastball with a low-90s splitter and a variety of breaking pitches, and the right-hander was landing everything in the strike zone.

[That's the name of the game isn't it? The sox exposed our weaknesses, the tigers exploited them, and the rays appear to be taking advantage of them. It's one thing for an inexperienced bottom half of the lineup to make the necessary adjustments, it's a different story with the top half, Martinez excluded.]

Let's see if they can bounce back today.

Limping into the allstar break, we have to leave florida on a winning note to set the pace and get a running start to the second half of the season. San Diego and Detroit in town.
