2019 Series #12 | Indians vs. White Sox | May 6th, 7th, 8th, and 9th

[The Wizard of Moz]

Zero chance we get a post from HenryMuto in here tonight.

Which is a shame because I’m really curious what his thoughts are on the all star game being in Cleveland this year

It’s a topic I don’t believe he’s made a stance on yet

Any updates on the celebrity softball game roster?

Bad year to have the Futures Game in Cleveland, they have no Future please pay attention to me, my father never gave me any hugs.

.259/.394/.362 since the day Lindor returned, April 20 (not including today)

So, great on base skills, just a complete lack of power.

.270/.395/.413 now including last night's game

It's only 17 games and 76 PA, but it's important to note that he's trending in a positive direction.

Would be great to see him just catch fire, and have a monster month like he did last May.

Josie catches another barrel.

Been catching 1-2 a night it seems, which exactly the signs you want to see.

Me during the Marlins series (re: CarGo):

Still not quite where he needs to be, but showing signs that he's starting to settle in.

If he's really settling in, and can get up around that 100 OPS+, 100 wRC+ territory, you can live with that in your lineup going forward.

Personally, I think what we're seeing is what we're going to get (91 OPS+, 94 wRC+). Will always be left wanting a bit more, but just not sure he's got it any longer.

Now he's down to a 54 OPS+ and 54 wRC+

This was like a week ago...


Not great, definitely nearing DFA territory.

He better be juicing, same goes for the rest of this team.

I think we will get someone via trade this season to fill out the lineup, whether its a DH or OF I feel we will get someone in due time. Now who just yet, is the question mark at the moment.

Naw, I think your mom is finally back around the team helping them out a bit especially Luplow today! lol

 

[Phil Mixtape]

Luplow?

 

[sportscoach]

Luplow?

He just hit his 2nd HR of the day!

 

[BMAN]

Would be cool if Luplow is starting to breakout. At least against lefties. We need it on this team. Bauers seems like he’s on a roll as well.

By the way, that White Sox outfielder backing up to catch the fly ball then slipping and landing on his head was fucking awesome.

These guys where the unknowns we really needed to step up this season if we really wanted to win. Luplow looks so much better after coming back from AAA since he is taking pitches and putting good swings. I think early in the season, he pressed too much and was trying to impress the organization, fans and wasn't the hitter he has always been. He wasn't taking pitches, swinging at a lot of balls, which was the opposite of what he has always done.

Will this game count if it’s rained out?
