Good win tonight. Bieber’s worst start of the season and he still ended up with 10 Ks and the W.

Everybody is somebody else's weirdo.
Here's the problem with the Indians, nobody on the current team is this tuff:
August 24, 1919: Ray Caldwell struck by lightning, sparks Indians to win
Dark, ominous storm clouds rolled off Lake Erie and barreled toward League Park. Black sky loomed over the ballyard, and rain, which had been falling lightly since the fourth inning, threatened to become heavier.
The baseball game stirring underneath the clouds on this Sunday afternoon in Cleveland was nearly complete. The Indians led the visiting Philadelphia Athletics 2-1 in the top of the ninth inning.
Ray Caldwell stood on the mound on this warm late-summer day, pitching in his first game with the Indians. Cleveland had picked up the fun-loving spitballer, whom Boston had released in early July, to bolster its rotation.
The Indians had needed consistent pitching to become a serious threat to the Chicago White Sox for the American League pennant. “They are fighting hard for every game and have been fairly successful despite the decidedly erratic pitching the team has had,” The Sporting News wrote about the Cleveland club.2
Caldwell was pitching a masterful gameon a day in which the Cleveland Plain Dealer had forecast “showers and cooler (temperatures).”The right-hander retired the first two A’s batters in the final frame as the storm grew menacing.
Looking for the final out, Caldwell readied to pitch next to Athletics shortstop Joe Dugan when…
Boom!
A game which had featured little action and even less drama, suddenly turned into a frightening spectacle.

Great series win. Top three teams in the AL Central (Twins, Tribe, Sox) are all within a half game of each other. Should be a fun September.

Helluva game from the offense last night. Seems like Franmil Reyes is really starting to find his groove.

Meh. Don’t care. A win is a win is a win. Cardinals committed some equally little league level base running errors. It all comes out in the wash.

Certainly seems like Mike Clevinger will be on the move before tomorrow’s 4 pm deadline. Just a matter of where at this point. Current reports have the Padres in pole position.

As long as he nets one capable hitter, it’s a win. Watching this team trying to get runs across the plate is like watching to porcupines fuck.
