Doug...Harbaugh left a pretty stinky aura in SF.

And they are STILL trying to wash the stink away from this AURA he left in Ann Arbor.......

I'm guessing he BROUGHT BACK some stinky aura from New Jersey.

 

[navamind]

Avisail Garcia still sucks and shows no signs of improvement.

Yeah. Going to NFC conference final got boring out in SF...that's why after jimbo left...they haven't been back to another 1.
BAAWWWHAAA

 

[navamind]

Lol. The Yorks are terrible.

 

[navamind]

Did Harbaugh leave a stinky aura in Stanford?

Didn't MiamiVice say the Indians had one of the worst offenses in the league? lol

10th in the league in runs and wRC+.

Yep.

Seriously... The indians lineup is so shitty they better hope their starters come out strong... They are going to be lucky to score 3 runs a game.

That guy was a fucking muppet.

The Indians have scored three fewer runs than the Tigers.

Ol' Dirty was in on the bit too:

The Indians have the worst lineup in baseball, hands down

 

[navamind]

Not everyone can mash like the Yankees (88 wRC+).

 

[navamind]

Yep.



That guy was a fucking muppet.

And that's with Brantley being a non-factor.

That's not to say that the Indians couldn't use a few upgrades. Catcher's been an absolute black hole (Gomes and Gimenez each sport an OPS+ south of 50). Uribe might finally be done, though we were saying that back in 2011-12 and then he put together three solid/good seasons.

But the lineup certainly hasn't dragged them down.

I didn't re-read the whole exchange with Dirt, but if I remember correctly, he backed off the "worst, hands down" bit, which is what I took exception to. Everyone -- including me -- had reservations about their lineup, saying it was a weakness wasn't a big deal. Saying it was the worst when there were teams like the Braves, Phillies, Padres, etc out there was just overboard.

Now, I will concede the point that so far this year, much, much more often than not, Yan Gomes has been a bum.

I'm with you. Two months does not make a season. There's still a lot of baseball left and I do not expect the Indians to finish in the top 3rd of runs scored.

Yep, the Indians are 6th in the AL in runs scored, and I suspect that is a little bit higher than normal for that lineup (especially considering Brantley isn't in it). But their 4th ranked pitching is real.

Is that a hot dog in a baked potato?

Or a baked potato with a hot dog?

I'm still full from my "doughnut"....

It's a tater-dog! Because complex carbs and ground up pig assholes shaped into wieners are awesome.

Its about time to bring in the Royals NW Arkansas team to play in the bigs for a while and let our others guys go practice in the minors for a while.

Geez. Napoli was always strikeout prone (career 27%), but this year, he's striking out 36.6% of the time. To go from 25.2% to 36.6% in a one year span is absurd. He's putting up sexy power numbers again though.
