2018 Series #47: Tiggers @ Tribe

[Real Deal]

I think having a healthy Trevor Bauer that can give us a reliable 6-7 innings a start is going to be our make or break factor.

Kluber/Bauer/Carrasco/Clevinger is a tough as hell top-4 to beat, but when it turns into Kluber/Carrasco/Clev/Bieber, the water gets a bit murkier. Need a healthy Bauer for the postseason because I don't trust this bullpen at all outside of Brad Hand.

All of it sounds good until it's time to trust that bullpen.

As of this date, our bullpen is a one man army in terms of trust factor.

Between our 4 best starters, I'm expecting close games until that 6th/7th inning where things could make a turn for the worst.

Since these guys are going to clinch anyways someday soon, I’m really only rooting for Klubes and Cleve to reach the 200 SO threshold and waiting to see who else gets called up to play. Otherwise, Indians baseball is frustrating to watch if you’re too into these games. So I have to temper my emotions until October and hope these guys pull some special magic dust to win the whole fucking thing.

Twins rallied against the Royals.

Tribe is cooked tonight.

Magic # stays at 2.

 

[CavsFanJapan]

Did I just witness a Dan Otero 5 pitch inning? Whole shit!!!! The special magic dust I talked about in the previous post arrived already!!!

 

[KilgoreTrout]

Tying run on first...

 

[Real Deal]

Kipnis is always hitting a goddamn ground ball.

 

[KilgoreTrout]

Down to our last out, with the tying run in scoring position...

 

[Real Deal]

Hold that L Cimber you shitty diaper fuck.

 

[Chris]

Nice!!

 

[CavsFanJapan]

Lindor can’t be clutch all the time. Too bad, it was right there for him. See you tomorrow fellow Tribe fans!!!

 

[KilgoreTrout]

And... Lindor flies out...

 

[Stark]

Hold that L Cimber you shitty diaper fuck.

Miller and Ramirez weren't any better. Bullpen is still a complete mess.

 

[KilgoreTrout]

Hold that L Cimber you shitty diaper fuck.

Cimber has been straight ass, since he showed up in CLE, amiright?

He's been so fucking terrible. Bottom of the barrel cat piss.

58 batters faced, 3 strikeouts, 3 HRs allowed, 4 walks.
