>two games above .500 again

Why

time to fucking lose

Rangers score 3 in the first

getting my >rags ready in case i get busy later

>RAGS

and it begins

Profar is better then Odor

At least at hitting
Odor is a better defensive second baseman

SENPAI we tried

fuck the foul ball sac fly rule

Why is this shit even allowed desu

Oh well here comes the 20 game losing streak

Nah we gunna win with a walk off foul sac fly it's bullshit DESU

I'm still pissed about Monday honestly

I'm pissed about this homestand

Love u Nap

DINGER

YO, WHAT'S UP, NAP

WHAT A FUCKING ADDITION NAPOLI IS HES HIT 4 homers in this homestand

I missed the top, who are we playing instead of Byrd?

Lonnie

It's a Ramirez-Davis-Chisenhall outfield and you'll be seeing a lot more of that

Naquin as well

based zombie nation

>this is the Indians' first lead since fucking Saturday

shit

Napoli could be in the homerun derby

Is the gay ump from Monday in the game still?

Yeah, umps are the same all series long, they just rotate positions. He's 2nd base ump today

Fuck that guy

I-is it happening?

for some reason even when he sucks I still like Bauer. Can't say that about any other pitcher other than maybe Salazar but he doesn't suck as often

When's the draft?

Next week, not sure what day. Lillies have the 1st overall pick.

shit

go rangers

but fuck the first pitch time. 6 EST start is lame as fuck

TV Jews set the schedules. Thursday, Friday and Saturday start times are 7:10, 7:10 and 7:15. Saturday is always a 4:05 or 4:15 time

Bauer having a decent outing. Throwing a few more strikes than normal helps

i guess it is same normal start time for rangers. it just feels earlier this series for some reason, not sure why.

Well, Bauer has only thrown 61 pitches, about 60% of them strikes. At least it won't be another 140 pitches/6 inning game for him. Being more efficient.

ehhhh. better than elvis though

Is it me, or does Texas' rotation have a knack for forcing groubd balls?

they lead the league in double plays so it's not just you

17th as a unit at 44.8%

It's like a whole rotation of Dallas Kuechels.

Back to back BBs

MLB Draft, June 9th

What position will the Rangers go for?

figures can't hit with RISP

That's been the albatross for the Indians the past two seasons.

Starting pitcher

they'll draft another toolsy outfielder. duh

m.mlb.com/prospects/2016?list=draft

Or an outfielder

The Tribe will draft the other Sheffield brother. Have em both in the rotation within 5 years. Justus is doing well in the minors. He just has to overcome Kaminsky and Aiken.

Rangers always have a top farm system
Have a few good pitching prospects including Dillon Tate
Joey Gallo is still one of the best pure power prospects ever
Mazara was called up in April and is running away with the AL ROY
Lewis Brinson is one of the top centerfield prospects but he's been kind of dissapointing this season in AA

What are the Tribe going for?

The Indians have two of the top OF prospects in MLB in Bradley Zimmer and Clint Frazier, but they're doing the same thing they did with Lindor and bringing them up slowly. Zimmer is a 5 tool OF and Frazier is a power hitter. They've also got a big bat coming up in Bobby Bradley, but he's still very young and unpolished. Those are their "untouchables" so to speak.

KIP

WE ARE ALL KIPNISSES

Checked. Nice trips. My guess is infield and RP, possibly SP.

...

I like them all (Kluber, Bauer, Carrasco, Salazar, Tomlin) desu though I'm impatient with Kluber

I like Clevinger as well, he's just been brought into a full rotation situation. Good to see him getting work through.

There's something about this man's face that I just love. He makes me laugh for some reason

SDI much needed

I'm scared that I'm going to hear "Bryan Shaw warming up in the Indians bullpen here in the bottom of the 6th"

clevelandfags how sad will you all be if the cavs lose? suicide an option?

Profar is the baseball equivalent of Sam Jackson in unbreakable. A strong breeze can injure him

Suicide? Lol. No. We've grown used to suffering and being so close.

I'd be pissed. Also, of course he doesn't support the Browns. Fucking dick.

J-RAM

unbelievable

...what the fuck...

fucking pathetic

No but it doesn't matter cause leGod will win one for the Land. UNLIKE the fucking Indians at this pace

I don't know if they're thinking too much at the plate or what. Maybe it's the LH heavy lineup? Frustrating as fuck to listen to or watch.

fucking blew it again

Not his fault. The Indians have stranded how
Many RISP today?

Manship and Gorzelanny? Hmm

yeah I don't blame Bauer. That was mainly for not getting runs in and possibly preventing pressing Bauer.

0-4 with RISP 5 left on

Story of every game. Can't expect every starter to win you games. Gotta hit the ball with runners on and score some damn runs. It's frustrating as fuck to see men on 2nd and 3rd, no outs, and they can't score one of them because the bottom half of the order is batting around .185.

>Shaw warming

and that'll be the ballgame

No, Manship and Gorzelanny.

Heard on the radio that it's Shaw.

Yeah Bauer's put together a pretty good game for himself. This one is on the offense

Goddamnit Francona. He pulled Manship and Gorzelanny out for Shaw, his little buddy fuccboi.

Fuuuuuucckkk

He just won't budge when it comes to the 8th inning. Though I wouldn't put Gorzelanny in a tie game for his first appearance this year

No, but it's not just the 8th. Shaw is his go to guy for reasons I can't explain. Last season the 8th was Scott Atchison's spot, before that it was Vinny Pestano and Matt Albers.

Don't be a cuckold.

Must have some dirt on Francona or something

Who knows?

Shit, umpire got hit.

It's spelled empire.

Either way, he probably has a concussion now.

>getting hit in the nuts
>concussion

wat?

second time umpire got hit in the nuts

I've got the game on the radio. I can't see what's going on. They said he got hit, I had to assume it was around the head area.

nah, it bounced and hit him straight in the nuts

>Loog Jaggsunn :DDDDD
game over

Gotcha. Thanks for clarifying fampai

Fuck you Bannister.
He waste the best relievers when they have 5 run leads and forces Luke fucking Jackson to trot out there in a tie game

You've got 30+ wins. Calm down. The Tribe will handle the Mariners and Angels.

>hits 2 out double
>next batter gets out

Errytime

finally
