Day game ded thred subedition

WE ARE ALL KIPNISES
>94 degrees
>heat index of 105
Jesus.
okay scored first nice
>new gameday layout
Yeah no thanks whew
I like it
Come on Cookie
>Indians 42-13 when scoring first.
Nice.
>that could easily be 45+ if not for a few blown games
Whew, luckily those haven't been common this year
good SDI
Nice job Carrasco!
I see the new GD has some glitches to iron out yet
I don't know what it is compared to other teams but I bet that's close to the best record.
Unlike most people (it seems) I don't hate the Block C even though it is a bit bland, but I like this cursive I, would like to see it used
>Juan with a jacket and towel around his neck in this heat
Ayy Davis, work the count
Just got back from work lads, who scored?
Based Kip
Kip dinger
haha kek, the Big Juan saying this is nothing compared to the DR
What are the actual odds >we get Chapman or Miller? Chapman would be amazing desu
nice!! need to score more early.
Looking good so far
Lowish. I really don't think Chris is going to want to trade the farm for a temporary hand.
NAQUIN!!!
>11 home runs and 24 RBIs
meme stats
Baequin!
>tfw Perez will never get a hit
BAEQUIN
God damn all these young bloods are amazing
SOON
>Naquin, Morimando, House, and Hunter
For
>Hosmer, picks
Who says no?
...
...
Wrong Perez bruh.
#BELIEVEINSNAGGLETOOTH
Come on Lindor
What LeGod's batting pct be? What position would he play? Top base stealer?
freakin Lindor
.330
Third base
Yes
Oh well, got one
.350. Catcher, maybe CF? He'd be a beast anywhere. Yes.
LeBron James 1B (.359, 36 HR, 88 RBI, 45 SB)
nice
>Kansas City will NEVER know what it's like to have a once in a generation player on a sports team of theirs
>implying LeGod wouldn't go .400, 40 HR, 100 RBI, 50 SB (100%)
"Cleveland! This is for you!"
Still get goosebumps tbqh.
He's too tall to do anything but pitch. His strike zone is too large to hope for a decent average. Best case scenario as a hitter: be a high strikeout, low average, high power guy like Richie Sexson or Adam Dunn.
>Who is Bo Jackson
>Who is Tony Gonzalez
>Who is Priest Holmes
Kansas City's apehoop team would've won a hip before Leavland anyway
>Doubting LeBron James for even one second
Mistake #1
pls score here!
NICEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Do you not remember Thome when he started at third? LeBron would be like that but with a cannon for an arm.
Baequin!
Is there even an ALROTY challenger to Basedquin? Or does he have it wrapped up?
>that Fred call
Holy shit I want a Hammy WS win call so, so bad, he deserves it so much
NAQUIN UNLEASHED
Truer words have never been realized
It should be between him and Fulmer, maybe Mazara and Merrifield too.
Fulmer is definitely a good case. Get rid of him and Detroit could easily have 6-9 more losses.
Merrifield's hitting has fallen off a cliff unfortunately, so unless he can get back on the ridiculous streak he had to start with, he'll end up out of that contest. I'd love to see it happen though and I hope he does find it again so he can make it interesting. My money would be on Fulmer though for the year.
Mazara has had the same issue too from what I've seen, but still lots of games left for both. Definitely agree it's Fulmer right now.
>first hit
Welp
freakin Carrasco
Alright Carrasco, don't let control get away from you
nice recovery
Cookie!
Yes
...
run(s)!!

THANK YOU BASED SLAMTANA
Slamtana
'81, Lenny Barker
>I haven't even been alive during an Indians no hitter
Feels bad
Soon
That's extremely stupid English. A year doesn't "hold" an event.
>5R, 5H, 3LOB
Now that's more like it
>ynr that Lindor has been doing his best Napoli impression the past few games
2 HBP, 100P, Kennedy is done after Nap
NAAAAAAAAAAAAAPPPPPPPPPPP
DINGERS!!
KC GOIN FOR A DIRT NAPPPPP
NAP
A
P
Pizza party tomorrow too btw
Daaaad, can we keep him?? PLEASE
>Every time I get a chance to watch the game it's a blowout
>Every time I'm working or busy it's a close game
Every time
We HR Derby
We discount Pizza
...
Babyface getting bases
Lonnie Hits-em-All GETTING BASES
>impasse 2400
Captcha, are you implying something??
I bet these umps wanna get out of the heat, but Tribe won't let them yet.
BAEQUIN AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH WHO CAN STOP HIM
NAQUIN!!!
ROYLELS BTFO
Jesus fucking christ.
BAEQUIN!
I didn't think I would need that bottle of whiskey so soon.
INB4 PEREZ HR
AHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAA
>These are the defending """""Champions"""""
Is this what it feels like to have good hitting?
Apologize
APOLOGIZE RIGHT NOW
>chris young
That poor ump is literally sweating his nuts off
freakin Lindor
>getting the out so Cookie can clean up the game before the heat index spikes
What a team player
The Tribe has good hitting though, a lot of balanced guys. Just because Gomes can't hit doesn't mean Lindor, Nap-Kip, Slam, Naquin can't
>tfw you're so BTFOd you actually lose count of how many outs there are
He felt bad for the umps. Good kid, Frankie.
>tigers losing
>heading for the exits
