Do Not Sell My Personal Information
Is it wrong all I can think after you saying Bracho is Bracho, Bracho man I gotta be a Bracho man Bracho Bracho man I gotta be a Bracho?

Maybe you found his future song once he is in the bigs! lol
 
Bracho Libre

Oviedo was placed on the 7-day injury list due to lower back soreness. Frustrating season for him, I’m sure.

Karinchak loaded the bases (single, walk, walk) without retiring a batter last night before being taken out. Ended up getting tagged with 3 earned runs as Kaminsky didn't face much better when he entered the game.
 
What is the outlook for Ka'ai Tom? JAG? Numbers way up from previous years.
 
Went to the Clippers game this afternoon against the Gwinnett Stripers (Braves). (Excellent logo of an angry fish.) Six rows back from the field b/w home plate and Clippers dugout. Was most impressed by Stripers' starting pitcher, Bryse Wilson. Excellent control, used the whole plate, got a lot of popouts and K's. Low 90s with occasional 95-96 I think. Pitched 7 complete. I guess they had him tagged as a reliever but he's been proving himself a mid-rotation starter.

Bradley has so much potential but goddamn he'll swing at anything. Did not realize how bulky he is until I saw him on deck. I will say he made two nice plays at 1st. Daniel Johnson didn't look good either. Lots of our guys flailing the bat, some of it I'm sure due to Wilson. Yu Chang, on the other hand, looked balanced and relaxed. Had a double and took a walk, I think.

Didn't have a strong opinion about Ka'ai Tom. He looked okay. Definitely seemed patient at the plate.

It's not like I see a lot of live games, so take all that with proverbial grain.
 
Should we expect a promotion to Akron in August for Freeman?
 
Has Salazar pitched again?

He pitched Saturday, think it was mentioned in a different thread

Saturday. He will rejoin the Indians this week. My guess is as a starter since Kluber and CC are still out for the foreseeable future replacing Plutko.

Right, I believe his 30 day rehab stint is over today or tomorrow. So the Indians will have to make a decision one way or another.

Wow he had another excellent start. I guess he’s ready to go.
If he sticks this is one hell of a comeback.
 
That’ll be really interesting to see what they decide. Still think he’d make for a weapon out of the pen; I’m also of the opinion that attempting to make him a starter again puts him at risk but I’m Jon Snow with this noise.

On a less relevant note, he looks crazy with long hair.

He learned from Tomlin. Velocity down, hair length has to increase. :chuckle:
 
I presume they’re going to give him another start or two in the minors? Since it looks very likely they Baurer is staying, they don’t need to rush him back.

I like the idea of him filling a bullpen role, but he’s on record saying he is a starter. Not sure if he’ll accept it this year.
