Why? At least if they take Leiter then he's 1) out of our league so we don't have to face him and 2) we can try to trade for him 4 years into his career.

Great news! I'm hoping for Lambert then. I like Stiever's potential a lot but he clearly needs a full year in AAA. Lambert is ready if he's healthy enough.

We really need to acquire a long reliever. We need another Detwiler or DJ Carrasco type badly. We have a lot of 1 inning guys but Kopech is the only really good multi inning guy and he's not enough.

Lol using Hendriks now. Can't wait for meatball chef Reynaldo to serve up a hot mess in Lynn's spot coming up. No matter what, make him throw 100 pitches.

Really? Just 1 error? This whole game has been a series of fuckups. Looking at the scoreboard and seeing one error is ridiculous. Maybe instead of spending all day trying to turn baseball into another sport, the commissioners should come up with a more appropriate method of summarizing team defense than an error total column. This game has been yet another defensive embarrassment.

Nice glove Yasmani.

Yeah we're going to win this one but let's remember where the Indians offense ranks amongst the others in baseball. Even though it's going to be a win, we're playing losing baseball.

Ruiz has been good. I'm not sure if he's available. But why didn't Marshall pitch longer?

In April 2021 he is. We shall see moving forward. It's undeniable however that Collins has gotten much better and Grandal is at least an older version of the same guy he has always been.

I never thought I'd say it but we really need another Ross Detwiler in this bullpen.

How is TLR like a cucumber? He always manages his self into a pickle. ?

Katz'll fix 'em

Hawk would always talk about errors of commission and errors of omission. If every error made today was counted there would be a double digit figure in the E column. And yet this has been one of our better efforts of the young season.

I like Marshall on this situation: nobody on and up by 5

Ok let's just start playing quality ball from now on. From this inning forward through the playoffs.

I think Leury is a good utility player who is just struggling right now but really, at this point Mendick should take as much of his playing time. Nice a Grandal HR. I wonder how many games he has homered where he also has not been shit behind the plate. Here's to your WAR total ?

Oh geeze

Yeah you should know when you have a DH in the field and you should know well enough to make a good throw and make it easy on him. Madrigal from an IQ standpoint is exactly opposite as advertised.

Maybe when Little Nicky hits puberty one of his teammates will introduce him to pornhub so he can build up that arm strength enough to make a competent throw from halfway between 1st and 2nd over to 1st?

Not only do his tools look pretty average or underwhelming across the board aside from extreme contact ability, but every time he does something good or has a good game he has to do something else to lessen his previous achievements or negate them entirety. I still like Danny Mendick better.

I really hope the Sox can get rid of the Grandal and Keuchel contracts this coming off-season, otherwise we'll be stuck with them both for sure. And just like Dunn and Danks etc. they'll be out on the field earning their paycheck regardless of performance.

I wonder where all of those posters are who kept insisting I was an idiot for calling Christian Vazquez a much better player than Grandal in all my fantasy "trade Grandal" posts? Probably looking at the fangraphs screen with the game on in the background and they're only listening to catch Benetti's stupid jokes. Grandal sucks. And he is worse now in Chicago than he was in LA, because he's just older. Another shitty Rick Hahn signing.

Foster: Australian for petrol

Ricky would have been tossed like 6 times already this year.

This. Exactly this. Edit: and they'll say that their jockey is also the man for the job. It's like city slickers meets weekend at bernie's with TLR just a bunch of joker clowns watching a few horses gallop around with a dead guy on their backs.
