Yes, feasible no. Cleveland could be overconfident playing Texas and KC. KC loves to play spoiler. It’ll be interesting. Under Cairo, the pattern has been lose a game then win 4 straight. Then go 1-2 and then win 4 straight. LWWWWLWLWWWWLWL Let's hope this continues. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are not the team put in a position to where going undefeated the rest of the season if almost necessary. No, but one win over the White Sox is really quite big for them because of that tiebreaker. You get that tiebreaker and then win a couple games against the Twins and you can genuinely start resting people and setting your rotation. They are 4 up in the loss column after today - counting the tiebreaker, had they put their best pitchers out today and really gone for it they could have had effectively a 7 game lead in the loss column. I don't get this unless somehow they thought this guy would be better? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm convinced these guys were neutered. They said 2 days ago that he was about to "ramp up activities and could be back next week". I am skeptical that he would be ready for a playoff chase after 5 weeks off followed by 1 week of ramping up activities. I'm also skeptical of the notion that he can outdo what Andrus is doing right now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously, though. I can't stand TLR and hated that he was hired, so I love seeing it play out ike this, but can there really be something to this team playing better when he's not around, or is it just coincidence? It's crazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like Tito wants that series more than just this one game. They really only need to win 1 game for the tie breaker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because when he comes back, Andrus is shifting over to 2B, but they can both be in the lineup together. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess he didn't want to put the nail in the coffin or just looking ahead and wants to put his best towards the Twins while the Sox face the Tigers.

Tim's offensive profile belongs at 2B, he should move there and stay there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because you don't play the short game when your position allows you to do what you perceive is the most important thing and that's keep doing what we would normally do and not change anything. All we have to do is keep playing our game. We're ahead they're behind let them be in the must win situations. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Between Romy actually being good and Andrus never having played 2b, I'd say skepticism is warranted that this will be an upgrade over this ridiculous stretch.

brijames1957 Posted September 15, 2022 Share Posted September 15, 2022 As if they haven't tortured us enough this season of course when it's too late they are going to hit 10 HR's today just to remind us what we all expected to see all season long.

But they also have 5 against the Twins coming up in 4 days. They only have themselves to blame for postponing this game until now. They've basically created their own pitching conundrum. If Twins play good baseball this weekend, Cleveland's pen is going to be extremely worn out for our series next week, while our pen should be quite rested coming off three in Detroit and an off day.
