Do Not Sell My Personal Information
Bauers did a thing!

Tie game!

This team is so confusing. I have no idea if they are really bad and overperforming, or alternatively, if they're really good and underperforming. I lean the former, but winning two out of three against the Twins followed by, at worst, two out of three against the Yankees is, well, confusing to me.

I will say, the team has been fighting lately. That wasn't happening early in the season.

This has been the strangest first half for the Tribe that I can remember.

Hopefully they can string together some more series wins against a run of cupcakes before the break.

Yeah I miss when Jigo would come in here, post a shit gif and then disappear. Oh now I’m giving off a snark response

Seasons changed and so do I. You need not wonder why.




(Mostly because the Indians don’t suck anymore)

I know people dislike Bauers, and he is really struggling, but recently he actually is doing a better job getting on base and hitting with power. His May was just absolutely awful.

I agree... the team is playing hard. If they can string together a few wins then I think the team has to find a way to trade for future value while not ruining the team's chances to contend. It's just tough to analyze... they're so inconsistent.

The man has some pop when he actually squares one up well. Problem is for most of this season, he's been having a hard time squaring anything up.

Hope that blast is a sign of things to come, because we need production out of that DH spot.
 
This team has a ton of talent, just not performing up to that potential at the end of the day, hence why I personally don't want to give up on the season and believe that they will be good in the second half plus they will be a very good team in 2020 when this young talent is a year older and more experienced!

Bauers is also only 23 years old (same age as Bradley who we all want the Indians to promote). He’s being forced into a more consistent role when he should be being allowed to develop a little more, but that’s just not a realistic option with the state of our OF right now.
 
Not sure if there's a man in all of baseball that I dislike more than Aroldis Chapman.

Hope we can ruin his day.
