tOfficial Cleveland Indians Ongoing Buzz Thread

We pulled out another win. But we have to start beating the better teams before we can go anywhere.IMO
our hitting will determine if we will be in the wild card race with any chance. We do not have a 300 hitter on the team or even a 290. That will not get it. Pitching will only carry you so far.When you play teams like the Tigs, you have to hit ,period.
ONE BIG PLUS , WE ARE STILL IN IT . GO TRIBE

CAPT. I HOPE YOU ARE BACK TO NORMAL? OH ya Capt. good group on Tracker now.

This team loves to tease us by beating crappy teams.....I wont get sucked in again until they can show they can win a series or two against a competent team

3 @ Atlanta and 3 @ Detroit next week is the moment of truth

Fasten your seatbelt its gonna be a bumpy ride

Tigs lose, Verlander gets beat . Everyone following the Tribe is cautiously optimistic with good reason .When is the last time we took a series from a contending team? As stated, next week should tell where we are at.

Tribe to rise or demise ?

 

[CaptO]

Cant lay down for Minny again - cant 'forfeit' ANY games now. The rest of the month is too critical

 

[CaptO]

Hate to say it, but I think we're toast

This is NOT a playoff calibre team. Cant pitch, cant hit, cant field... Looks like its all been accomplished with smoke & mirrors so far, & they got exposed bad tonight. Just a massive clusterfuck out there

 

[buckeyebill]

Totally agree Capt. 1 run 6 hits against a mediocre team. Do we have a batting coach?? It is becoming very hard to keep the faith, I was at 50% now down to 25 % a falling. Ubaldo only gave up 2 runs but with our team that's enough. By next weekend it could all be over.

 

[CaptO]

This mornings line has us 5 out of the WC now... Frankly I think theyre done if they cant take the next 2 against the Twinks. If they do manage to win these 2 they could probly slip ahead of the Os but Boston, Tampa & Oakland gotta all go into a slide to make any significant move needed to get a WC

 

[buckeyebill]

Every time I try to divorce myself from the tribe they suck me back in. Maybe I love pain?

Well Capt. Big week coming. hold on to your ass????????????????

Sometimes, one can get caught up with all of the negative news that gets reported these days, so it’s good to find a piece like this every once in a while. Per this story by the Associated Press, on Saturday, eight-year-old Niko Lanzarotta and his family were watching the Indians take batting practice prior to last night’s game against the Twins. Niko, living with cerebral palsy, met with some players and asked catcher Carlos Santana and second baseman Jason Kipnis to hit home runs for him.
The two wasted very little time granting their fan his wish. Santana blasted a two-run home run off of Twins starter Liam Hendriks in the first inning and Kipnis hit a two-run shot in the third against Hendriks. Behind a solid start by Zach McAllister, the Indians went on to win 7-2.
From the AP column:

“They told me I was their favorite player, and I promised to hit a home run for him,” Santana said.
“He must be a good luck charm for us two,” said Kipnis, who broke an 0-for-19 slump earlier in the game and homered for the first time since July 21.
​

Niko’s father added, “It was the best day of his life. To meet Carlos, to be that close, and for him to hit a home run. … To see your kid that happy is a great thing.”



Now, go dry your eyes, with your faith in humaninty and baseball resotred............

Anyone remember the Gordon Cobbledick Tomahawk Award? Its faded off into obscurity. Before message boards and all, baseball clubs, such as the Wahoo Club, were active.

Anyway, right now I'd vote for Jason Kipnis for the Gordon Cobbledick Tomahawk Award.

It's hard to be optimistic, considering their performance against top teams this year....they are liable to get put out of their misery in these next 6 games

 

[Shanemansj13]

Hate to say it, but youre probly right

 

[osubuckeye89]

The game winning 2 run triple was hit by a .186 hitting bum who was cut by the Royals about a week or so ago

typical tribe.....

Figures

 

[buckeyebill]

Looks like the consensus is this is the telling week and we are at strike one. Once again terrible hitting and to many LOB. Is there any AAA hitters that could be brought up?
Any way OSU opens Sat.
