[VikingFan2k2]

Needed a beatdown of a win like that to reenergize the fan base after that dog poo of a road trip.

And no mention of the Twins spanking a pretty good team two in a row? The Indians schedule is going to get tough again, starting next weekend.

Weren’t you the one who called Texas bad?? Lol

Yes he is

The Rangers are good.....

They have the same record as the team who just came in Minny earlier this week and won 2 of 3

They play in an easier division than Boston and Boston got out to a terrible start.

They're fine, but I don't think that they are anything special.

All of sudden the Rangers are a pretty good team @VikingFan2k2 ? 2+ weeks ago you said " I don't think that they are anything special"

Indians gonna win again.

We gotta get this sweep

Still think there’s no chance we get caught??

Teams a fucking joke. No one is clutch.

If games get extended all we have is minor league arms. That eventually fail.

Rogers has been our only lefty option like all year. Have we made moves? Nope. Just waited for garbage ass Mejia to come back.

This is an epic collapse and there’s still months to go.

5.5 at the break.

Didn't see that coming

 

[Shanemansj13]

Never count the Indians out, like I did lol.

But this break is actually a bad thing. Still love how these guys have been hitting and pitching. I feel like when Kluber and Carrasco get back it could get worse though bc this rotation is pitching so well. I think they just need to deal Kluber or Bauer, prefer Kluber but no guarantee they can get Bauer back as well so risky

Bieber is an All-Star!

Tell me he is not related to...well, that singer.

Not that I know of lol

Not Justin has been awesome this year.

Not Justin has been awesome this year.

Pretty shocked when I saw his SO/9 at 11.3 so far this year. I mean that isn't as impressive as it would have been 15-20 years but still good for top 35 all-time single season.

Randy Johnson did better 6 times
Scherzer 3 times
Sale 3 times
Pedro 2 times
Robbie Ray 2 times
Cole 2 times
Wood 2 times

About half are current guys though.

You're right. I was probably drunk at the time and pissed that they were gaining ground.

Cleveland is playing well. Splitting with Texas is the only blemish on their recent schedule aside from the Baltimore mess. Texas is legit.

 

[VikingFan2k2]

Weren’t you the one who called Texas bad?? Lol

I said they were not special and they aren't, but I was probably too tough on them at the time. They're legit.

 

[navamind]

Rangers will probably hang around, but I still don't think that lineup is very good.

It really isn’t.

Especially if you have left handers.

Then again, there are teams like the Twins dumb enough to have your only lefty reliever for the bulk of the season be your best reliever.

 

[Shanemansj13]

The Indians need to continue their hot streak, it does get tougher though. I don't see the Rays going anywhere and I fully expect the Red Sox and A's to ramp it up the 2nd half. Only 2 wild card spots so best case is the Indians get healthy and compete for the AL Central title, only 5.5 back so they cut it almost in half from about a month ago.

@mr.hockey4242 I'll leave this here for you.
