Your 2019 Cleveland Indians

Do Not Sell My Personal Information
Doesn't help our situation at all when this year's team was built to be carried by our rotation and two of our starters have been out for weeks.

Bauer has struggled his last like three outings. Jefry looks like he's coming down to earth a bit. Carrasco has been kind of hit or miss this season.

Only guy I've got full faith in right now when he takes the mound is Bieber, who was our 5th starter this season.
 
I just got done watching Moneyball. We will be fine.

step 1, trade Paul Depodstra from the Browns to Indians
step 2, make some analytic trades
step 3, go on a 20 game winning streak
step 4, profit

easy peasy.

I'm still convinced this is a playoff team. Jose won't stay cold forever. Bauer is in a short rut and should figure things out. Kluber and Clevinger are returning. Plus, tons of division games including a bunch vs. the Twins in a "control your own destiny" scenario.

Lol i like it. I'm still convinced this is a playoff team. Jose won't stay cold forever. Bauer is in a short slump and should figure things out. Kluber and Clevinger will be returning. Plus, tons of division games on the horizon including a bunch vs. the Twins in a control your own destiny scenario.
 
I miss Austin "Chillaxin" Jackson.

Maybe we need to bring back Napoli as a coach and get him in the locker room! Maybe we are just missing certain guys like that around the ball club. Even Kipnis admitted it was weird not to have Brantley, Chisenhall etc around. So maybe they are missing the right guys in the club house as well.

Clev should be returning next month. We still know nothing about Kluber, could be August or September but at that point, what will the standings look like? Jose hasn’t looked right since late summer. That’s verrrry concerning.

I don’t need to see advanced stats about how well certain guys are doing. I watch games and see that we’re not hitting and if we have to score more than 4-5 runs, it feels insurmountable some games. If we can’t find an outfielder by the deadline and Jose doesn’t pick it up, we’re not going to the playoffs. It’s that simple.

No one can disagree with that, but Jose has also bee unlucky as heck with his BABIP numbers and whatnot so we all feel he is pressing plus getting super unlucky when he does make contact. He will come out of it, if he doesn't press and just keeps putting up good swings. He has to start finding holes eventually right?

Kluber is getting an X-ray today. Butt hole clenched for this one
 
Dude, shit is overplayed. People CONSTANTLY say it. It’s lost any kind of humor.

Well at spring training it was hilarious. There was a lot of alcohol involved though.

Goodyear? That's in the middle of nowhere. Wait, the land is cheap? Let's put the ballpark there! Innovation!
 
Going to be 7.5 back in an hour or 2. Twins murdered Matt Harvey. Test that whole team!!!
