Since 2016 when the Indians get their starters 4 runs they're record is 135-14. I counted at least 19 times in 2016 alone where they lost with at least 4 runs scored. I know you like to make up stuff so I figured I'd fact check... You FAILed to glean the the key part of the FACT. "get their STARTERS at least 4 runs". You're a lousy fact checker, look up that one. If you had watched the post game you would have heard that stat mentioned TWICE, as I did. Only a dirty bird would say they KNOW someone likes to make up stuff. You don't know the truth or facts when you see them. |

Way to be Fillmore. What does that bring your average up to? .016 or so?
You're the Jason Kipnis of phpBB.

If I'm at .061, you'e at .0061. You're a little leaguer going against major league pitchers.
Here's another fact for the unknowing to attempt to dispel. Lindor is the youngest player in Indians history to reach 500 hits.

What is wrong with Tomlin/Carrasco? They pitch batting practice to batters. McCallister should be released.

Tomlin has never had great stuff and gets beat up a lot. He has been in the league almost 10 years. Carrasco is fine, just a bad start imho.
I would like to see the Tribe make a play for Josh Donaldson if TOR fallz out so we could move Ramirez to 2B and Kipnis to RF or bench.

Well, typical tribe: They cannot beat the better teams ie. Toronto, Yankees, and whenever they play the Red Sox. Why not put Kipnis at the bottom of the order and put Guyer in second? Relief pitching is a shambles without Miller.

Indians bullpen is garbage. Having a bad bullpen is similar to having a bad o-line in football. You can be good, but not great

Kluber just gave up a 433 foot home run to a relief pitcher

Kluber is giving up way to many home runs. Luckily the Tribe are in a god awful division. Still a long season. Will need to add bullpen help at the trade deadline. I think the lineup will be alright, but wouldn’t mind seeing another right handed bat

How about a switch hitter? Melky Cabrera will soon be in Cleveland. Got him for a steal at $1 Mill for this year. Last year he hit .285 with 85 RBIs and 17 HR.

The only way the tribe can win anymore is to let the starters go nine innings. Bullpen is in disarray, is lousy, has lost confidence, etc.

Tribe doesn't really need that much hitting, but ABSOLUTELY needs much better relief pitching. If any trades are to be made, who would want Otero, Goody, McCallister? |

They would have to trade prospects more than likely |

Better than a right handed bast. |

Release those guys and bring up guys from the farm system. To a fault Francona loves his veterans. |

Who ya gonna bring up from the minors? We don't have a real deep farm system, especially arms. Only person I would think of is maybe Bieber but he doesn't really have K stuff so I don't think he would be on the choice list.
Need a 3B, I would think Moustakas would come cheapest as a rental, and you could hide his awful lefty splits in our lineup. Def need bullpen help and I would be looking at SD for Hand and Yates as a package deal. Not sure who we could deal in that scenario tbh tho.

You gave the answer. If there's nothing worthy in the farm system, then they'd demand a starter. And I don't mean Kipnis or Tomlin.

Not gonna get much for those cats and SD has a stud prospect at 2B.
We def need to do something tho. Especially the pen. Not sure I have an answer.

I'm here to start bursting your bubbles guys but for once I can have some fun doing it. My Tigers just took 2 out of 3 from your, and my wife and boys, Indians and as of now are only 1.5 games behind them with Minnesota. Now you all have a chance to feel what I been feeling for a long time on no bull pen at all. Where has all the relief pitchers have gone to.  |

You haven't had many of them the past few years. I wouldn't be making any bets if you value your money. This pitching staff will find their stride. I'm not too excited at this point, the Tribe will own this division at the end of the summer. Check back in July.....  |

The big dif is we have been dealing with a bad pen for 2 months while Tiger fans have been dealing with it since Guillermo Hernandez won the Cy Young. As i m typing this tribe pen relieves Kluber and promptly gives up back to back homers lolz. |

Sports, Believe me I am enjoying this very much and ribbing my wife along with it. Once it get's back to normal she will get on my case royally. Right now the AL Central is the weakest division in the MLB where at one time it was the toughest. What happen? Dr. Torch, I fill your pain with the bull pen buddy. Life is a (a certain 5 letter word) isn't it.  |
