2019 Series #44 | Indians @ Rays | August 30th, 31st, and September 1st

Bieber was clearly out of gas by the time Garcia came to the plate, and now Tito pulls him to have Cimber pitch against a LHB. I’m sure this will end well.

 

[bboy]

Cimber to the rescue...not sure why we still trot him out there...

 

[Stark]

Cimber can go after this season. Tired of his 84 mph fastballs.

 

[godfather]

Why does Tito always bring in Cimber when Bieber is in trouble. He always comes in and gives up all the runs. The guy fucking blows.

 

[Kevalier]

Wonderful

 

[redscoon]

Can't get enough high leverage Cimber.

 

[N7RobBob]

cimber = garbage

 

[PIP]

Twins were able to handle the Tigers too

 

[godfather]

Cimber should never be the one coming out of the pen in a decisive game. This was a WTF decision.

 

[godfather]

Bieber would probably like to punch Cimber in the face. This fucker always comes in and gives up all the runs he left stranded, and makes his ERA look worse.

 

[Kevalier]

At this point, you’re just asking for punishment by going to Cimber in high leverage situations. Way too many other options to go to in that spot than him.

 

[Kevalier]

Now he goes to Wittgren when it’s 4-0 and not last inning. Tito magic at its finest.

Don’t wanna say it but I think the division race is over. Gotta make sure we line up our pitchers well for the one game playoff.

This offense has looked pretty mediocre dating back to the Mets series

Since the Mets series we are 5-2 including today's loss. And yes our offence has stuggled, yet ill take that record any day. That is a direct result of how good our pitching staff is overall IMO. Tito has always had a knack for making the best out of his pitching staff. This year is just another example of his starter/bullpen knowledge and how to maximize talent.

As a child watching baseball my father always would say "In the Majors, pitching wins games". I believe this. Look at Boston for example, former World Series Champs and 3rd in the AL for runs scored, yet 7th in the AL as far as record. Tribe is 10th in the AL for runs scored but 4th best record.

What I'm saying is that pitching is just way more important in today's game and its good to see our front office put an emphasis on that area of signing/recruiting/drafting.
