[CaptO]

Sorry for leaving abruptly Bill...fucking computer went wacky on me

 

[CaptO]

Well Capt. finally something good to talk about Good group on tracker today. We need to get them over here. Kaz. has really impressed of late actually the K K boys have both done well. 1 more solid pitcher and 1 more solid hitter , then bull pen repair. Then we can compete. GO TRIBE

Been trying to recruit those guys over. Also a guy named RocketIndian who wasnt on today. Maybe you can throw in a plug for SportsHoopla - on top of mine it might their attention

Kaz been having some stellar outings. SPs that can go 8 is like gold for us. Hope we make some moves before trade deadline. Rumor mills been quiet lately

Thats ok Capt. I going to the porch to enjoy a Romeo Julieta Churchill and A Makers AH! great game today.

 

[Shanemansj13]

It has been a struggle the first 2 games of the Minny and Seattle series. Then the 3rd game they show their real colors and win in a blowout!

Why can't they play like this the other games and play good defensively?!!

Have one for me Bill

Thats a question for the ages Shane...

 

[buckeyebill]

Yep Shane, very puzzeling . I keep fearing the after the All Star Game let down . This game helps and I hope for some kind of deadline help vi trades??

 

[CaptO]

Nice of the Tigs to give us a gift today

Now...all we got to do is hang tough with the Rangers & not let that gift be for nothing

 

[CaptO]

Well, we can rest a little easier:

Antonetti addressed the trade deadline. While saying no player is untouchable, he effectively ruled out moving shortstop Francisco Lindor and spoke glowingly of pitcher Danny Salazar.

Maybe Acab, Reynolds, prospects (pls someone take Carrasco & Bauer)

Rangers this wkend. Two 2nd place teams, each 3 games out. Should be interesting, hopefullly we can take 2 of the 3. Today (Perez v Kluber) probly favors us. Tomorrow (Darvish v Masty) & Sun (Ogando v Ubaldo) look like tossups. Providing of course theres run support...

 

[CaptO]

Holy fuck that was a nail biter

Fasten your seatbelts. Gonna be a helluva a ride tomorrow

 

[Shanemansj13]

Darvish vs Masty! Should be a good one!

Indians' starters ERA since July 9 has been the lowest in the AL at 2.04

Hopefully Masty can get over his woes against Texas, he is 0-4 with a 7.54 ERA on four career starts against Texas.

Go Tribe!

 

[CaptO]

Been raining all morning so looks to be a damp chilly night

Hopefully one with a W too...& that Philly can somehow sneak out a W vs Tigs. Only 2 WCs & right now we're 4th behind RSox, Os & Rangers

 

[CaptO]

Tigs 5-0. Damn

 

[Shanemansj13]

Need so mire runs. I can't handle a 1-0 lead going to our bullpen. Masty needs to go 9!

 

[CaptO]

Smith didnt screw the pooch & Perez just took care of business

Broom time tomorrow

 

[osubuckeye89]

Blow chunks against 2 awful teams (Twins and Mariners)

then sweep the Rangers

bi-polar team from hell

8 innings of 2 hit shutout ball from Uballso...bizzaro

 

[CaptO]

Ubaldo tossed a gem, Pestano didnt screw the pooch, guys are getting clutch & we're rolling...

Only problem is, so are the Tigs - & we got a 4 game series coming up with them soon. As of now we're 3rd behind Rays & Os for the WC. Every game counts

Well they got the White Sox and Marlins next....who have the 2nd and 3rd worst records in baseball

HOPEFULLY they can win both those series going into the 4 with Detroit

 

[buckeyebill]

Hey Capt. Lost power yesterday for an hour but good results tribe won and Ubaldo did well 8inn. IMO Aviles looks better at third and better bat. Chis don't seem in the game mentally. Catch you tonight Capt.
Go Tribe

Winning those games will be meaningless (in the Div race) unless we can win against Det...or Det tanks before we play & the gap is evened out

Aviles, Gomes & Raburn need to be in the lineup most every day. These backups are the ones producing in a big way now. Obviously the best players are used against the pitching matchup, but Santana is NOT a great catcher. Too many errors... Chis? That missed sidelines catch was little league... Hell worse than that - a little leaguer could of caught a ball dropping right in front of his face...

Moving along...we're 1 place out of the WC race right now. If we cant catch up to the Tigs for the division we got to keep winning & get a solid hold on a playoff berth. That means Rays/Redsox &/or O's got to start losing. My bets on the O's
