Cleveland Indians (2018)

[LordJeffBuck]

Don't look now, but the Tribe is on another 5-game winning streak.

Beat the hapless Tigers tonight, 10-0. Tribe scored 10 runs on just 8 hits (3 HR, including a grand slam from Alonso), but also had 5 walks, an error, a hit-by-pitch, and a strike-out-wild-pitch.

Tribe now 8 games above .500 and on pace to win 90 games.

I hesitate to say that if they get Andrew miller back to form.....

Which may win the division by 15 games.

Word on the street is that the Indians might make a run at Manny M of the Orioles. I can see it because the window really is closing after this season for the Indians because of the number of free agents who are going to be probably leaving over the next couple years. The window is closing pretty rapidly and old Kip can move his ass to the outfield.

I don't know if they have the assets to outbid some of the other teams that will likely be in that derby.

Bauer has been FILTHY this season. He always had the stuff, just needed to put it together.

Agree but if Manny has anything to say about it, which I doubt, his brother-in-law is Alonzo.

The starting pitching has been Filthy but Bauer has been exceptional. Almost hard to pick between Kluber and him.

Well, St. Louis has been a shit show...2 games, 10 hits, 2 runs.

The most surprising part about last night wasn't Klubot getting rocked, it was that Tomlin managed to go 3 innings without allowing a homerun.

This Bieber kid (guh) is looking sharp.

Up 9 games and they've played, what, maybe 1 good week of baseball?

Tread water, get healthy, get hot, pray for pitching in October.

Oh and Lindor is a baller.

3 players over 20 HR, these guys ain't so bad.

 

[NFBuck]

I NEVER expected Frankie to turn into a masher like this. When he came up, I thought he’d be a .290-.300, 15-20 hr, 75-80 rbi with exceptional defense guy.

I hear there's an open billboard space if Nike New Balance wants to market a deserving, fun superstar...

would this be a self-defeating move because it seems almost impossible that the indians are going to be able to sign him once he hits free agency. the indians have a bunch of guys that are going to get paid big time in the next two years, and some very hard decisions are going to have to be made. assuming the indians are still operating under certain salary constraints, i don't know if he's a guy that they can pay $30 million a year. maybe lebron's departure ramps up tribe interest.

 

[LitlBuck]

maybe lebron's departure

I think the one thing that might help us a little with Frankie is that there are so many good shortstops in the majors right now. Might help the Indians a little but not very much. At least we got Ramirez on the cheap for a few more years but we overpaid for Kipnis. We also have some young pitching so that might help..
