tOfficial Cleveland Indians Ongoing Buzz Thread

[CaptO]

Rays gonna have to drop more than 2 because a Tribe W would put us even in wins, but we would still have one more loss than they do

We CAN do this

 

[CaptO]

Gonna be a tough game today - Zachmac v Sale. Bats & D got to win us this one. Somehow

GO TRIBE

 

[Shanemansj13]

1 1/2 behind Rays and Rangers.

 

[ClevelandPizzaCompany]

Rays and Rangers start a four game series against each other Monday. Hoping for a sweep from either team.

A split would be nice. Neither of them would gain a step

Split would be perfect Capt. Tough game today, Shields gives us trouble. Maybe new hitters will get to him. Time for Tribe to step up to the plate against a good team.
Go Tribe

Report Cards for Each MLB Contender for September's 1st Half


Offense: B+

The Cleveland Indians have recently won several games by comfortable margins, but that is to be expected when the New York Mets and Chicago White Sox appear on the schedule.

Second-year catcher Yan Gomes continues to impress with his power (.645 slugging percentage in September). Although Asdrubal Cabrera is striking out pretty frequently, he also has a team-best four home runs this month.


Pitching Staff: B+

If anyone has a case for upsetting Mariano Rivera for American League Comeback Player of the Year, it's Ubaldo Jimenez. The right-hander has been at his best this September, allowing only one earned run in three starts (all Indians wins).

On the other hand, Cleveland's bullpen is in mild disarray.

Chris Perez makes every ninth inning unnecessarily dramatic. He has put on 14 baserunners in the past six appearances. Moreover, Cody Allen is regressing after five outstanding months, while Vinnie Pestano continues to search for his former self.

Thankfully, Bryan Shaw and Joe Smith have been solid in September (0.00 ERA, 11 K in 13.0 IP).


Healthiness: B+

Manager Terry Francona tells MLB.com's Manny Randhawa that Justin Masterson is gradually getting his arm stretched out after straining his oblique on Sept. 2. The right-hander eyes a return before the end of the regular season, but for the time being, Cleveland is without a trustworthy rotation leader.

Ryan Raburn (strained Achilles) spent early September on the disabled list but has since resumed a shockingly productive campaign.


Overall: B+

The Tribe didn't separate themselves from the Kansas City Royals, but a 9-4 record drew them closer to the AL wild-card leaders.

Great Win


That was a great win Capt. Vice is the most annoying fuck in the world. He must of been bullied a lot growing up. He thinks changing Id's is the greatest achievement in life. Wow how rewarding.

Need a W tomorrow

 

[Shanemansj13]

What a HUGE win and comeback off the best BP in the AL!!!

Need a series win tomorrow to jump in the 2nd WC spot before playing 4 w/ Houston!!!

LETS GO TRIBE!!!

 

[CaptO]

Salazar vs Chen. Can our wonder boy get it done? Will Tito stretch his PC to give us the best shot? After last night we dont have a lot of strength left in the BP

 

[osubuckeye89]

Yan Gomes missing the tag when they get a runner on 3rd in a run down is classic Indians buffonery

 

[Shanemansj13]

They gave em 3 outta their 4 runs.

1.First the throw home (woulda had Butler by a mile)
2.Wild pitch
3.Now missed tag.

Gotta score now Tribe and gotta make another comeback now.

 

[da55bums]
