YOUR 2016 Cleveland Indians Thread (American League CHAMPS!)

[LitlBuck]

I will say this, Trevor Bauer's turnaround has been really impressive. If he's for real, and the rest can stay healthy, a rotation of Kluber, Santana, Carrasco, Bauer and Tomlin makes them a serious threat. That's the strongest starting pitching they've had that I can remember. Bring back a healthy Brantley and this is...somehow...a really good team.

As for deadline moves, I think they could still stand to add another bat. I'm not sure how much longer they can continue to count on Uribe and Rajai Davis to hit like this. Same with Chisenhall. Remember, he got off to a torrid start in 2014, then went to [Mark May] in August.

But they're still [Mark May]ty. Really [Mark May]ty.

The same can be true with Ramirez, Nap, and Naquin and that is what makes this team so scary right now. Do not know if we can count on all 6 of these guys continuing to play the way they have been. I guess maybe the older guys can hang in there if Francona keeps on platooning them but when the big U hits 4 homers in four games you have to begin to wonder if this is real or not.

Our starting pitching can keep us in any game… almost but if one of those guys go down that is it because they are shitty.

The national media along with the boys in Las Vegas are starting to take notice of this [Mark May]ty team. They have Toronto, Detroit, and the fucking Yankees left after they take care of Atlanta before the All-Star break.

I guess my question is if they are still in first place at the time of the All-Star break will they start looking at trades and, if they do, I have no idea what position they will trade for because the way everyone is currently playing. I do not think that Francona will move any of his veteran players and the younger guys are [Mark May]ty

Maybe another arm for the pen?

The bats have been on fire lately... but that's the scary part. Blazing then ice cold.

After reading the article below I think I would be calling the state of California and more specifically Oakland to see what they might want. I am not that familiar with the guys that this article talks about but I would assume that some of you guys are a little more knowledgeable about the MLB.

I'd sure like to see a shitty match up lefty for the pen.

So the Braves starter today is some guy whos never pitched in the majors and has a 4.68 ERA in AAA this year. Can they manage to not be baffled by him?

Also, suck it, Atlanta.

2, 2, 2, 4, 0, 1, 5, 0, 3, 3, 3, 0. Runs given up the last 12. I haven't seen anything like this.
