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

Well I guess Baker ain't the answer either

Unfortunately, we've got a lot more question marks than we've got answers on who's getting the ball every 5th day.

I don't have one suggestion on what we should do anymore than what we're already doing.

Yeah but stick him out there every 5th day and let Nick pitch in Frisco.

It's going to be interesting when Nick M's turn comes up.

Almost every time we've scored in the past few weeks we have given up runs in the following half inning. It's happened both times tonight. Both times we scored in the 2nd game they scored after. The first game of the series we scored 4 and immediately gave up 3.

And the one game you're speaking of was with Yu on the mound.

I can't quote the games, but it does seem to me you've hit on a bad, recurring theme.

 

[WastinSomeTime]

Choo has been slumping for quite some time.

 

[lainey12]

Might as well let him pitch for a bit ..save the pen...

Of course with his pitch count, he won't make it out of the 3rd inning....

Oops, I'm being too negative....hey, he's gaining valuable experience!!!

lol, yeah you sure are a bad fan for being a little upset about the season.

I was actually pretty worried when Holland tripped over his dog at the Hockey Game.
Seems kinda cute now, worried about losing one Starter

I threw the towel in after Harry, still bothers me.

We don't have anyone worth a damn to call up from AAA. Jackson or Alec Asher is pretty much it in AA.


BTW, Jackson has given up 1 hit through 5 IP.

I looked those up, but I know it's happened a lot lately.

As soon as someone says slump, the first thing I say to myself...

"Well, I hope it's not a career-threatening injury"
that's where I'm at

 

[Justinkm83]

Maybe I bucked the trend.

Well, you answered my question with your post above this, Wastin. I agree. Holland Looks like still about 6 weeks away.

I think he is playing hurt.

 

[lainey12]

Well hopefully not ever, he's got some solid pitches just needs to execute and locate them better

I think Perez took some heavy beatings early on....

 

[lainey12]

I think he is playing hurt.

yup

Not much to see at RR these days

 

[lainey12]

Good info, thank you. I didn't realize he was this big.

Holy crap, he is a big guy

 

[donaldson79]

I think he is playing hurt.

I was thinking earlier today that if, in a normal - even semi-normal - season, if Choo wouldn't have been put on the DL earlier to have gotten his ankle in better condition for a long season.

In the past month he can't be hitting much more than .200. He was around .340 it seems a month ago and look at him now.

 

[lainey12]

We got to be the story of the MLB when this season is said and done outside of the World Series. Can't be anything like this.

There isn't anything like it, not the severity of the injuries. Maybe ever....

I can't decide what's going on. You can't let him decide in this situation. We need to protect all of our players. He's not helping us right now. Put him on the DL and let it heal IMO.

 

[donaldson79]

Holy crap, he is a big guy

For some reason I was thinking he was 6'3" about 220. When in fact, 6'5" 230+ and he could easily get larger since he's only 20.

Justin's posted article earlier about him speaks well of him as a student of the game too.
