Series Thread: The Tribe visit the Rangers 6/6 to 6/9

[Justinkm83]

If we could all go back to the off season and see all our comments ,wishes, predictions and dreams for this year, we might learn that we didn't know much and you can't look into crystal balls. What will be will be.

That's true. What's funny is I remember Bacsik on the fan saying he knew scouts that were saying we were a .500 team, and that's when we were healthy. I thought they were crazy. We might end up being a .500 team after all of the injuries though.

Exellent point and post!

I know I had Fielder as Ranger MVP and Profar as break out player of the year. Haha.

Thank you. I saw the IF and rotation as good as any. Not to high on catching.

Odor is batting .361 in his last 12 games.

If we end up at .500 then we've had a good season taking in account all that has happened to this team.

Now that's a surprise none of us ever dreamed would happen.

The future's not ours to see?

He was exciting as hell out there today. I hope it's nothing serious. He was one of the only exciting things to watch on this team.

I posted earlier what a good game he was having and Profar be aware.

Next season will be better. Our luck can't get much worse.

JD has some work to do on that rotation.

JD has some work to do on that rotation.

This is what I see:

Darvish
Holland
Perez

Not counting on Lewis or Harrison. That was a mistake this year. Hope JD picks up a good #4 and 5. Don't think Tep will cut it.

Perez second half of season, if that, after TJ surgery. He'd be great if we make the playoffs next year. JD may need to get three solid pitchers outside of Yu and Derek, who has yet to play this year.

Forgot about the recovery time being that long. You're right.

Said to be a shoulder sprain and he will be re-evaluated Monday, will this stuff ever stop

I hope Scherzer makes it to FA. I think we would have to get involved there. Other than that we might have to move some prospects to acquire a pitcher or 2.

Think he does make it to FA, but after Fielder and Choo contracts not sure we have the money or inclination to pursue him. Plus we must resign Yu.

Saunders has now gotten his ERA down to 3.60 and this game could easily have been tied in the 9th. Maybe better...........but it is what it is.

Murphy couldn't have hit home plate with his helmet today.

The 1.90 whip is the condemning part, but in his defense he has been pitching himself out of trouble, but it's bound to catch up with him in a very bad way

He would be perfect for our park IMO. I think they better find a way to open up the payroll if they want to contend again. The TV contract should help a little.

 

[jta4437]

Perhaps....my problem is with all this "clear" evidence which is suppose to be presented in overturning calls is, many times one replay looks this, another looks that. It's far from being clear IMO.

That's why you have multiple angles, one of them very clearly showed that he was out, simple as that

Tep has had a couple rough outings but he certainly had the ability to be a competent 4/5 and that's all anyone ever really reasonably expected from him
