Well theyve won 3 in a row and scored 24 runs in those 3 games. Hopefully this is the offense coming alive and not just blowing their wad for a few games.

Give them praise and they coms out and lay a 1 run on 3 hits stinker

Clevinger literally got beat by the Oakland #9 hitter. 2 HR 3 RBI in a 3-1 game.
I guess you answered your own post:wink:

Kluber's return - 6 IP 0R 2H 1BB 10 K

Tribe win 8-0, take 3/4 from Oakland

Saladbar long relief debut. 1 IP 0R 1H 0BB 2K
He looked really good. Lets hope the time off re-activated the Klubot.

I actually think Saladbar could excel in the pen. He seemed to do pretty well the first time around the order as a starter before getting hammered. In the BP, batters should only get one look at him and he can just try to overpower hitters.

I'm cautiously hopeful he can fix what ever was causing him to get lit up the 2nd and 3rd times through the order this year.

15/16 he had a 3.63 ERA between 322 1/3 innings which would make one think there is a good chance it's correctable. Be it a mental or a mechanical issue.

They could definitely use him in that form. It's Kluber and Carrasco pretty much right now. Bauer and Tomlin are wildly all over the place with how they pitch and Clevinger is still really an unknown even though hes been decent so far.

Apparently the shitty Royals are going to be a problem for these losers this year.

This team is a fucking wreck. Getting smashed in Colorado again

About to be just 1 game over .500. Lucky they play in a garbage division.

Every time they show promise they fall right back down. They swept the Astros and since then have gone 6-9 against the Reds, Royals, As and Rockies.

Meh. Stop all the whining. To me this team is playing almost exactly the same as the '16 team did. Except for last year's June winning streak and the white hot run from late September through the post season, they were just a few games over .500 club. Here's the 2016 month by month regular season record:

April 10-11
May 16-13
June 22-6
July 12-12
August 16-14
September 16-11
October 2-0

Season. 94-67

Nothing they've done in the past should have created the expectations that this team will win over 100 regular season games. The Twinkies, like last year's hot start White Sux, will fade. The Tiggers' injuries and self destructing pen will keep them from contending and the Tribe will win the Central.

IF they get hot in October they'll go deep in the playoffs again. If they don't get hot then, they'll be swept by the Astros.

Puig flashes obscene gesture toward hecklers

We could even be talking about Kenley Jansen, who had to close out the 7-5 victory for the Los Angeles Dodgers after the Cleveland Indians rallied with three runs. He faced one batter and -- of course -- struck him out.

Instead, it's all about Yasiel Puig, who added a new definition to "flip" in the baseball lexicon. Puig had avoided controversy this season, but he also hadn't been all that good, which is why he was hitting ninth in Tuesday's lineup. He crushed a two-run homer in the second inning, but this is why everyone will be talking about him on Wednesday:
