Tried a slightly new setup for this series. Trying to give us a spark. I don't know, call me superstitious.

I'll actually be at the games both Saturday for Rock N' Blast and Sunday.

I don't mind the block C, but that C logo above is just... awful. So glad they don't wear that. Still wish they would have stuck with the script I.

But I digress... The tribe needs to make a statement and stop fucking around at the .500 mark. And the statement cannot continue to be "Hi, I'm Jason Kipnis, and I suck at hitting"

Nah the script I looks dumb.

So, boring game going on, usually is when Kluber pitches. He just has that blank expression and his innings and games go so quick.

Didn't realize Chris Davis was having such a bad year. Goes from challenging Miguel Cabrera for the mantle of No. 2 after Mike Trout to below the Mendoza Line. Didn't expect him to maintain but that is a hell of a drop.

Zach Walters belts a replay confirmed solo shot. 1-0 Tribe in the 5th.

That was on a 2 strike pitch too, wasn't it?

I believe so. Not 100% sure.

Kluber is incredible.

 

[Derek]

Not often you see a guy strikeout 4 times against the same pitcher

 

[Stark]

Buck Showalter is a fucking tool.

 

[Stark]

Shaw ruins Kluber's gem. 1-1; bottom 8th.

How do you not go to the closer for the 4 out save or let Kluber get one more out? Poor poor decision. Not that it matters this team is not good enough to make the playoffs.

I was wonder why that decision was made, too. But he had exceeded his pitches. But Shaw did us no favors, at all!

 

[redscoon]

There has to be an infielder somewhere who isn't a total joke with the bat.
