[The Oi]

Smh

Big miss.

 

[Huber.]

Big miss.

Still time for him to pass through revocable waivers

Glad he took my advice

Excerpt from Peter Gammons's latest article

Offensively, the Indians probably could use an outfield bat, but they’re still third in the American League in on-base percentage and OPS, and first in stolen base percentage. And, very important for October, their hitters have the lowest strikeout rate of the 30 major league teams. Their pitchers lead the major leagues in fewest walks per nine (2.43). Their pitchers’ strikeout to walk ratio is 3.82, second only to (no surprise) Houston’s 4.04.

Kluber is second in the AL in strikeout to walk ratio, behind Justin Verlander. Carlos Carrasco is fourth. Trevor Bauer 11th. Bieber doesn’t yet have enough innings to qualify, but his K/BB ratio is 5.53. That would rank him fifth in the league (tied with Max Scherzer), behind Carrasco.

Ugh

Very possible that Andrew Miller threw his last pitch as a Cleveland Indian. I'll always revere him for the superhuman 2016 postseason performance he provided us.

 

[Real Deal]

Bullpen pitchers remain being the most random athlete ever. They emerge and they decline. Small windows all around. That's why you have to appreciate the Rivera's and Hoffman's of the game.

That was my first thought. What an awful year for him.

Hoffman doesn't belong in the same sentence with Rivera

 

[Derek]

Including playoffs, we got 140 IP out of Andrew Miller, with a good chunk of it with him pitching at less than 100%

2016 was magical, no doubt. I don't regret making the trade at all, but I've never thought we got a good deal either.

Hoffman doesn't belong in the same sentence with Rivera

Rivera was obviously the better reliever, but Hoffman is the only other person (and the first) to record 600 career saves. Still nothing to sneeze at.
