2019 Series #15 | Indians vs. Orioles | May 16th, 17th, 18th, and 19th

[CBBI]

Glad to see Ramirez was mercifully DFA’d.

Everyone else in the pen has been pretty good or at least getting some good luck.

Hand, Wittgren, Perez, Olson, Otero, Clippard, Cimber is certainly not the worst bullpen I’ve ever seen.

Agreed. Neil just never put it together. He seemed to have decent stuff. But, yeah he was terrible and surely they can get somebody to replace him. I still think the the pen is shaky. At least it hasn’t been horrible like last year.

If we need a veteran arm guys like RHP Givens from Baltimore, Then RHP Vincent, LHPs Watson and Smith from the Giants should be available. I think if we need a veteran arm they will make the move for one.

Also we have Karinchak (DL at the moment sadly) and Sandlin in the minors who ability wise could be up already. (Also could see Morgan, Plesac and/or Hentges at the end of the summer, but more than likely in a spot start role)

 

[Out of the Rafters at the Q]

I'm starting to worry about Jose. He just doesn't look comfortable or confident at the plate.

Love the 2-0 start.

Bieber with 10 Ks through 6, seems like a quiet and easy win with a quiet forum.

Mercado with his 1st RBI knock and 2nd Double in his many ABs. He easily stole 2nd earlier but came off the bag.

Make that 13. Dude is dealing today.

Mercado’s speed is ridiculous. Lots of fun to watch.

Bieber with the CG shutout and 15 Ks. Has to be the best pitching performance by a Tribe starter this year (even acknowledging Bauer’s no-hit bid that ended in the seventh inning) if not one of the best in baseball.

Unbelievable.

I wanna know the last time a Tribe pitcher did this.

Seriously we win this game in deciding fashion and no one posts, but when we are losing we get a million posts, people need to grow up seriously.

This was a much needed start from Plutko, I hope he can keep it up!

I don't post as much on weekends because I have my kids and try and do things off line, but the offense is starting to come alive for sure.

And that’s with a still slumping JRam.

Luis Tiant in 1968 struck out 19 in a 10 (!) inning CG shutout.

And I was hung over as hell. Leave us alone!

Ummm, he might need to get back on performance enhancers. He looks terrible.

STO said his 15k 0walks in a complete game was only the 13th occurrence since 1908(?)
