The poll's pretty easy. We just need 4 total strikeouts in the first two games before Bieber K's all 27 he faces on Thursday.

I'm already regretting my choice of 11-20.

Indians' Francona to have surgical procedure, miss series
Cleveland Indians visiting PNC Park for three games against Pittsburgh Pirates

Updated: 5:53 PM EDT Aug 18, 2020

PITTSBURGH (AP) —
Cleveland Indians manager Terry Francona will miss his team’s three-game series with the Pirates, which begins Tuesday night.
General manager Mike Chernoff said Francona will have a “scheduled procedure” to address a gastrointestinal issue. Francona also sat out seven games from Aug. 3-9 because of the ailment.

The Indians are hopeful Francona will be back in the dugout Friday night in Cleveland for the opener of a three-game series against the Tigers.
First base coach Sandy Alomar Jr. will again manage the club in Francona’s absence.
Meanwhile, Gold Glove catcher Roberto Pérez has been activated from the injured list and backup catcher Sandy León has been placed on family emergency leave.
Pérez had been out since July 29 with a strained right shoulder. He was is in the starting lineup for Tuesday night’s game against the Pirates.
Pérez has played in just three games during this pandemic-shortened season, going 1 for 10.
“We're excited to have him back,” Chernoff said. “I’m sure our pitchers are happy to have him back, too.”
Pérez won the AL Gold Glove last year. He led all major leaguers with 30 defensive runs saved while batting .239 with 24 home runs in 119 games.
León will miss the series with the Pirates.
Cleveland also recalled outfielder Greg Allen from its alternate training site. That came a day after outfielder Óscar Mercado was assigned to the camp in Eastlake, Ohio on Monday.
Mercado hit .111 in 17 games and lost his starting center fielder’s job to Delino DeShields Jr.

That's gonna happen when you pitch for 13.67 innings. What were they thinking leaving a guy out there that long!?
