Too bad Biebs won't get a crack at this lineup. Would love to see how he'd fare against these douches.

@Out of the Rafters at the Q what kind of numbers do you think the Tribe will need to put up to take this one?

I’m thinking minimum 6 runs a game and starters will need 7 k’s apiece.

@Huber. @bushwick_bill

 

[BMAN]

We should be able to do some damage against their pitchers, all very hittable in my opinion. I’m scared for Plutko he’s going to give up so many dongs. If Plesac looks like he did last start then he’s going to be in trouble as well.

 

[The Oi]

Plutko consistently dominates the Yankees. No worries there.

 

[bob2the2nd]

They’re shitty again

Plutko consistently dominates the Yankees. No worries there.

In one career start against the Yankees, Plutko went 6 innings, struck out 4, and gave up 2 runs.

So not bad. Would LOVE to get that again tonight.

Yankees are intimidated by Plutko. Rumor is they were prank calling his bedroom all night trying to screw up his rest because his starts are much better after a good night’s sleep.

We'll win one vs them unfortunately. Good test nonetheless, but that lineup is disgusting. I laugh at Plutko, he's going to get torched in this thread just like on the field.

I'll give him some credit in the middle of a bashing.

He has improved each year he has pitched for the Tribe and he is eating up innings in the wake of 3-4 lost starters this season.

He is today's Josh Tomlin, but I hope we don't have to count on him in the playoffs.

 

[Real Deal]

Lindor
Allen
Santana
Puig
Jose
Kipnis
Reyes
Naquin
Berto

 

[Real Deal]

Allen is earning everyday status, at least in my opinion. Tito has a tough job.

 

[Andrew Scheid]

Tito's insistence on keeping the 2 hole in the lineup for whoever is playing CF is maddening.
The lineup would be so much more potent if Puig was in the 2 hole and Allen/Mercado was batting 8th.

Then who is right handed that would hit clean up?
