Sure hope they haven't packed up the bats because I don't know how they are getting 9 more outs without giving up several runs.

Guess we are finding out why Kopech was pulled the other night. How can everyone of our relievers be bad now.

Terrible play by Goodwin

Nice inning by Rodon shutting them down after we score.

I just asked my son if the cameraman is drunk lol

Benetti & Beckham aren't in Canada either, are they?

What do one run records have to do with tonight, we lost by 2 lol

This is showing 26-14: https://www.baseball-reference.com/leagues/MLB-standings.shtml

Lol, I was going to say I'll take 92.

Vaughn please don't hit into a DP or this entire board will want you released after the game.

Right now I am not sure any choice out of the bullpen is any better than anyone else.

Yeah I think so too

Exactly, if Kopech or anyone else doesn't like it then start getting batters out.

I am not debating that, he was clearly still a great player. I am just not sure that one injury compares to the number of injuries they have had this season. Maybe they had several other significant injuries in 2005 that I am not remembering.

Exactly, the catcher knows what's coming so the good ones anticipate this happening. Of course no catcher can prevent everything but way too many balls are getting past Zavala.

I didn't mean to suggest that he was poor at that time of his career. It seems like this team has had a large number of injuries to some key players and I really can't remember what occurred with injuries in 2005.

Yes, I have no concerns on the division and I don't expect it to really get very close. I hope not, I don't need any gut wrenching games until October lol.

I don't disagree that it could happen, but I wouldn't bet on it lol.

Yes, this is correct but he wasn't exactly in the prime of his career at that point either. I am not sure that equates to the number of injuries this team has had but maybe.

Very good points, and I might add that I don't remember the 2005 team having the injuries that this team has played through. I truly don't remember(getting old lol) if the 2005 team had injuries like this team, so I stand corrected if they did.

I agree the division is over, but what makes you think the Indians could win 84-86 games? They have played 120+ games and sit at .500 and to win 85 they would need to go 24-16. I haven't really seen anything from them that they will play .600 baseball in their last 40 games. Fangraphs has a projected win total for them at 79 which seems more likely to me.

To win 90 games Cleveland would need to go 29-11 the rest of the way. Where is the betting window for betting on under 90 wins for Cleveland lol?

Podsednik commented on the postgame about this and mentioned that Guerrero hasn't been hitting all that well recently, something like .225 in August? He mentioned that all players, but especially young players get over anxious when they are slumping a little bit. The 3-0 pitch was not a good pitch and Lance Lynn said as much in the postgame. He said he told Tony as soon as he got to the dugout that it was on him. He meant to throw it high and away and missed badly. Yes, Tony can raise 4 fingers and the some of the people who complain that he didn't do that last night are the same ones who complained that he did do that in Tampa.

I guess it's a good thing the whole season counts not just since the all star break.

So is there a scenario under which you would consider the trade being successful?
