Cleveland Indians (2019 Thread of Indifference)

Saw “Carlos Santana” trending on Twitter tonight. Given the musician is in his 70s I immediately feared the worst. Lol

Caught ‘em.

Bump

Civale was very sharp today. First time ive actually got to watch him. He’s got some good movement on his pitches.

Plutko wasn’t great by any means but did the job of a 4th/5th starter type (offense didn’t help)

Civale has had 3 great starts. Given that he is the third SP they have brought up from the minors this season, I wasn't expecting that kind of repeated success. So long as he is pitching well, no need to rush Kluber back.

Perez is killing it out of the pen but God forbid we make Hand insecure about his status as closer.

Hand is definitely a weak link. He was great the first couple months of the year but is not nearly as sharp now. I see no reason why he continues to close, other than Tito's loyalty and stubbornness.

Hand blows it again. Let’s keep trotting him out in the 9th....

 

[Oh8ch]

Last two innings he has pitched he has faced 13 batters and 7 reached base.

Now that is some closing.

Santana bails him out again lol

 

[Oh8ch]

Guess I should read the script.

Hand is just setting things up for the drama.

Santana bails him out again lol

Hand is so lucky to get bailed out twice in a row. Tito needs to get more creative with how he uses Hand, as he clearly is not a reliable closer at this point.

He looks spent. Gotta question Tito sending him out there tonight after how he looked yesterday. A few days off would probably do him some good

They can buy out Hand after 2020 so they dont have to pay him $10 million for 2021. If he is injured, he needs to not be pitching. Ever since the All-Star game he has been mostly terrible.

 

[NFBuck]

Who woulda thunk bringing Santana back would be one of the best moves they’ve made in recent memory?

 

[bukIpower]

Ugh... I'm not falling for it this year.

 

[Buckeneye]

Post ASG break and getting sucked back in. Tale as old as time.

Hey, only one team can take home the trophy every year. No sense in getting caught up in that shit for now. I'm going to enjoy watching meaningful baseball for the next month and a half.
