WTF Randy Wolf??? I didn't even know he still baseballed.

Not sure what happens here. Die Salazar rebound after his last outing? Does Detroit still struggle against Anderson? Which Bauer shows up? Same for Carrasco? The ERAs clearly favor the Tribe, though.

Alfredo Simon...aka Walter Johnson (the GOAT) when he plays the Indains

 

[Stark]

Sweep or bust.

 

[Stark]

Are you seriously telling me that Detroit doesn't have a prospect starter that they could bring up during September instead of starting 39 year old Randy Wolf who has made 8 starts since 2012?

 

[BimboColesHair]

Sweep or bust.

Meh...they just need to cut the gap by 3 games between them and whoever leads the 2nd wildcard by the last full week of the season IMO...that's when crazy shit happens. 11 game home stand could go a long way in making that happen...sweep would be nice, but it won't bust our season...now getting swept...

The image the Indians use on the probable pitchers page makes Matt Boyd look like a fucking vampire.

Why is the poll closed? How will I let people know I believe we will win 4 games this series?!

I can relate. I think the poll should be open at least a little bit into game 1.

I can relate. I think the poll should be open at least a little bit into game 1.

Or at least into Bauer's start so we will know if we are getting Dr. Bauer or Mr. DFA

Rangers lose again...now would be a hell of a time to figure out Simon.

 

[Derek]

If we can figure out Alfredo Simon, and Cody Anderson can keep the ball in the yard, we might have a legit shot at a sweep.

At the very least 3/4 puts us back at .500 and probably within 3.5 games or so of Texas.

I'm a little skeptical of a sweep with our 2 best pitchers not starting this series. We need to go at least 3-1.

I suck at math, that's why the poll is closed.

So, Texas lost earlier today, Indians now 4.5 back....
