Jose should be the player of the month. EE is getting it going. Chis is playing up to potential.

I love how Zimmer is settling into the big leagues. He's making better contact that I thought he would.

My issue with Zimmer was if he would be overmatched/not ready for the big leagues. Like anyone he has had some ups and downs, but overall he has looked like he deserved the chance he has been getting. I am okay with being wrong about him since being wrong benefits the team.

If we get a healthy Brantley back and Lindor hitting the other way, this team with their bats could be scary
 
Zimmer looks like an everyday ball player coach.

Bauer outage 11 pitch inning 1-2-3

I have been watching, still strikes out a bit much, but I think in due time he will cut it down. I don't expect a .300 season from the guy and never will, but in a couple years, I expect an all-star type of season from him.
 
Please Indians, deal for a pitcher that's better than Bauer/Tomlin.

Lmao. It's like you want him to be bad to prove your shitty point.

Honestly I didn't want him up before he was ready, but he proved he wouldn't be overmatched by pro pitchers and wouldn't put back his development. Bring up players too soon, it can hurt them rather than help them.
 
Being on the West coast and not seeing the Indians as often as I would like (like everyday) I have follow the pitch by pitch on the MLB game day app. So my question is, does Salazar use his change up that much at all? It was devastating at one time but the pitch type that comes over the app and the velocity shows him relying on the FB way too much. Does this sound right? Thanks!
 
On field batting practice is the shit. Spend those tribe rewards wisely.

Don't worry, Antonetti is greeting folks, I'll tell him get us a SP.

Lindor is currently holding the bat handle to his mouth singing a Latin song and dancing to his teammates.

You should have reminded him he is hitting .209 in June and should be using that bat I'm the batting cage instead, or maybe getting hitting tips from Jose Ramirez.

I remember when I used to mash for the Winking Lizard White Sox out in Coventry YEARSSSSS ago...Before every game I would go over and sign autographs and then go tape my bat or tighten up my glove laces depending on what needed attended to ???

However I harken back midway through the season in '99 -- I somehow found myself drinking a bottle of Pinot Noir prior to the game and I began to feel quite sexy... I proceeded to put on a little Gregory Abbott "Shake You Down" in the dugout before the game to calm my mind...

Went out that night and hit 2 homers and won the game on a bases loaded no out unassisted triple play over at the hot corner...(was actually my 6th unassisted triple play of the season... I finished with 59 of them)

So I can dig what Frankie is doing.... I used to keep it loose myself before the games...
