2017 Series #35 -|- Indians @ Rays -|- August 10th-13th

Why?

Post All-Star break we are trotting out by far the best starting rotation in the AL, if not in all of baseball. In the 28 starts the Indians rotation has made since the break, they are 1st in WAR, 1st in FIP, 1st in K/9, 2nd in ERA, 2nd in WHIP, 2nd in BB/9, and are 12-4.

Combined our starters have a FIP below 3 in 171 combined IP in the 2nd half, which is absolutely bonkers for a single player to post, let alone a combination of 6 different pitchers.

Salazar is healthy and dealing, Bauer is dealing, Cookie is Cookie, Kluber is the best starter in baseball, and both guys who have filled in as the #5 have been fine themselves.

If you are worried about one of them blowing up, worry about it later. Right now, enjoy the best starting rotation in baseball since the break. This team does not need another starter right now, not with the Salazar and Bauer we are seeing right now.

Don't forget Tomlin was pitching extremely well also before he went out with the hamstring injury. Not sure how he will be when he gets back, but if we can keep the starters rolling this will look nice going into the playoffs

Also so far I am glad we went and got Bruce since he seems to be helping this team out in the games he has played.

 

[The Human Q-Tip]

Also, Clevenger does not suck.

If Brantley gets healthy in time, this team should be ridiculous.

bushwick_bill getting absolutely destroyed.

Because the could use a SP for depth and some fans gave up on Kipness means we need MORE! MOAR! No slow you fast BB as why he is getting killed. Lets go back to hating Bruce who already has hit well and EE is hitting Bombs again. Forget that the pitching is a key thing than can be solved with in and baseball is not like any other sport. Lets forget all that and have people have hot takes as this was the Cavs. Bruce looks great, Cleve got it together and Cookie as well. There is more to like here than not, I do not get this attitude people have going, The Indians will be fine for fucks sake.
