People are still advocating Lou Marson?

Santana sucks at first, Marson sucks at hitting.

LaPorta is much better at first, and hits better than Marson.

They added a good pitcher so they don't have to play Marson as much....I wish for the love of God they'd stop playing him more than 1-2 times a week.

I seriously don't get the Marson hate. Cool, he's not the best hitter. For the love of fucking God stop bringing this up. I know this. You know how much better he is defensively behind the plate than Carlos? Did I say start Marson every day? No. Should LaPorta sit some games for Marson because right now he can't hit for dick? Hell yes. Seriously, the fact that people think I want Lou for his offense astounds me.

My whole fucking point is you know what you're getting with Lou- hits off lefties, great D and works our pitchers. Oh LaPorta is sent out to get hits and smash the ball? Yea he's been doing that well all season.

Gigantic series coming up in Detroit. This is a great opportunity for the Tribe. 2 out of 3 would be awesome. Oh, and Chicago gets to play Texas.

Can the Indians go into Detroit and regain first place again?

Can the Indians go into Detroit and regain first place again?

We're 1.5 behind them right now, so in a three game series we would need to sweep to regain 1st place. But 2 of 3 would leave us just .5 back and really in control of our own destiny since we will have played 3 fewer games than them on the season.

This is true, so why not go for the sweep? These are the games that matter right now. You gotta beat the teams that are behind you and ahead of you.

I just hope Verlander breaks his leg.

I'd love to see a sweep of course, but just trying to be realistic. The Tribe's goal right now is to win series for the rest of the season. If they do that, they're very likely going to the playoffs.
