2019 Series #26 | Indians vs. Royals | June 24th, 25th, and 26th

Do Not Sell My Personal Information
I liked it better when we had people complaining that Tito DIDN'T use Hand for the 5th time in 6 days against the Yankees.

You thought it was a wise move to throw Hand out there given how much he had been worked lately and that we were playing a team that was 0-42 when trailing after eight innings?

I’m not sure how you got that from what I wrote

My mistake, as I read it as you stating that fans merely live to complain. Anyways, nice bounce back win today.
 
Boston is on the ropes right now, their pitching is so trash.

Was coming here to post this. Their bullpen ERA is somehow 7th best in the MLB, but they now have 16 blown saves, I believe. Only the Mets have more.

They need a top end closer in the worst way but their farm system is trash. Dombrowski made moves that won them a World Series, which is obviously the ultimate goal, but they are going to be in a very difficult spot in a few years.

That was part of it, but I preferred when the complaints were about our manager actually exercising caution with a pitcher's workload

Why they didnt keep Kimbrel is a mystery to me.
 
Minnesota has the damn bases loaded. Not confident they don’t come back.

Even team like the Red Sox has to put their foot down at a certain point, and it seemed like he was asking for the moon. They still owed Price $127m, they gave Bogaerts $120m and Sale $145m in the offseason, JD will more than likely opt out for more money after this year, Beintendi hits arbitration this year and they probably want to extend him, Betts is a UFA after 2020.
