2018 "Series" #21 | Indians @ Tigers | June 8th, 9th & 6th

Lonnie hitting cleanup is gross.

He isn't there today!!

 

[KluberSociety]

Tito has this thing where he will put bad hitters at premium positions in the lineup instead of just moving everyone up when someone like EE is sitting. I don't see what is to be gained by having Allen or Davis leading off, or Chisenhall hitting cleanup. It's all the result of the same kind of thought process.

Roberto Perez'z Contact rate is 63%, pitchers get higher than that.

Everyone had been raving about Shohei Otani both pitching and hitting while event else ignores the two-sport athlete on the Tigers, Jacoby Jones. I know he hasn't been a star in either but that is simply impressive.

Two different guys - I guess the capital C is the difference.

Idk why but I feel a slight sense of sadness when Kluber gives up most than a run. Dude spoils the fuck out of us.

Seems like he’s giving up an increased level of hard contact; I thought someone might have statistically supported this recently but I can’t remember. I could be way off base too though.

It does seem like, when he gives up a hit, it's a big one. He's given up a number of solo dingers this season.

I wanna say @Derek tbh

 

[Real Deal]

This team really is promising. Kluber, Cookie, Lindor, Jose, Brantley, EE, the resurgence of Bauer, the emergence of Clevinger, I'm sure there's a few more nice words to pair with other players.

Management absolutely cannot afford to fuck up this deadline. They better find the best kind of relievers we can.

Who are the players you're willing to trade? Naquin, Salazar, Cheng, and others.

 

[Ohio]

Detroit's RF is fucking trash lmao

 

[MGMT]

Lonnie is an underrated trade piece imo or is that embarrassing to say

 

[Hurl Bruce]

I need someone else to rip on as a young prospect.

I thought Jose Ramirez was trash and he is now awesome.

I thought Gonzalez was garbage and he just hits whatever when he gets a chance.

Any young players out there need a boost?

Nah, I get the thinking because he's a free agent, but I don't think the Indians are trading any of their established major leaguers.

 

[Lyst]

Now that Cavs are over time to get back heavy into the Tribe. There's like a thousand games a season, one of the only sports you can just pick back up in regular season real easily.

Kluber does it again. 26 straight 3 runs or less. Got worried there in the 8th when Ramirez committed that error. I thought they should have taken Kluber out after 7 innings since they were up 9-2 but it worked out he kept those 2 guys from scoring.
