YOUR 2016 Cleveland Indians Thread (American League CHAMPS!)

[tsteele316]

Buck is a by-the-booker, and he didn't want to use his closet without a lead. In this way, the Indians are in good shape, because if you use Miller on lefties, you still have Allen.

That's a fine strategy for a random extra inning road game in the middle of July. When you're in a one game winner take all situation, it's simply stupid.

The Indians must think a lot of Zach Crockett by leaving him off of the roster.. Jeff Manship Cody Anderson I thought an extra might be nice because if we have to use either of the latter two we will be in bad shape. Not to mention Mcfastball.

Eh Crockett only pitched 16 innings this year and he wasn't good in them (5.06 ERA)

Manship and McFastball are have been "ok" for what they are, even though we all give them shit

Cody Anderson should never be used unless it's an unreachable blowout.

I'd assume a lot of use of Otero/Shaw/Miller/Allen, the starters have got to manage to go at least 5 (preferably 6) so it keeps from using Manship and McFastball too much.

I was thinking for one batter… Possibly big Poppy

only with a 5 run lead in the ninth inning with Miller still in the pen

Not feeling much confidence about tonight thinking about it. Porcello has pretty much had the Tribes number his whole career and Bauer just hasnt been very good down the stretch. Offense is gonna probably have to score at least 5 to win (seeing that Bauer gives up his 3-5 hes been consistently allowing lately). Hope im wrong though guess we will see.

 

[buckeyemania11]

Well the first could had been worse big out at the plate to keep it 1-0

 

[buckeyemania11]

Santana HBP followed by 3 very hack strikeouts. Good start

 

[buckeyemania11]

Lonnie ties it after a Ramirez leadoff 2b. Bauer worked a quick 2nd

 

[buckeyemania11]

Ack out at 2nd for Lonnie though would had been safe but cane in too hot and slid off the bag

 

[buckeyemania11]

Welp solo HR for Bostons #9 hitter.

Bauer working from down in the count too much

 

[buckeyemania11]

Holy shit Roberto Perez answers with a solo bomb. Wtf

 

[buckeyemania11]

Kipnis! Solo shot 3-2 tribe

 

[buckeyemania11]

Lindor! Another solo shot 4-2

 

[Fungo Squiggly]

Kaboom! Porcello is tossing BP out there.
