Casty is below average there I said it

Happy Easter subedition

Nice job Cookie

Go Tribe

...

Injuns desu senpaitachi
10/10

lol

10 game streak for Frankie now

I almost thought about putting showalter lower just because he didn't use Britton in a 1 game playoff series, so maybe I need to tweak it. Meh

If this post ends in 0-4 Victor grounds into the shift
if it ends 5-9 Victor grounds into the shift

Victor is sooooo gooooood

Chief wahoo is easily the best logo in baseball. Please never get rid of it Cleveland.

It is inevitable. Won't stop fans wearing him to the games though.

is that a moustache or the misplaced outline of its mouth?

Bottom of the cheeks I think

rip. Keep the fight up though and never conform to that C. Not that it looks awful, but it is no Chief Wahoo.

How is Collins elite now wtf

AVILA IS ELITE TOO WTF

...

cookie pls

What is that? The sound of furious fapping by NoHS.

Oof

So our team is Kinsler, Romine, McCann, Avila, young pitchers and a bunch of overpaid has-beens.

""""""""""""""""Cookie"""""""""""" Carrasco

Cookie giving a different meaning to his nickname

>everyone complains
>hits dingers and doubles
great season

...

We absolutely crushed Toronto on that David Price trade.

>Anthopoulos

and I originally thought we got rekt on the Gose/Travis trade, but they both suck now and Brad's brain will find a way to make Gose a serviceable relief pitcher kek

>tfw the T___s are going to sweep >us

They actually aren't that terrible this year. Kepler and Sano have turned into good players. Buxton is still a bust though lel

it was beyond dumb of them to make the trade, Price is good for about 3 or 4 innings then collapses in the 5th every single goddamn game

getting 2 starters out of it is highway robbery

Buxton is just straight awful lol

Thank you BASED dombrowski

>tfw no qt3.14 Jimenez in the bp

Close AJ, keep up the good ABs

>this embarrassment of riches regarding young players

Diaz is going to be elite

I'm like the only person that likes Block C but a Wahoo is fine too

to that guy that always shits on iglesias

APOLOGIZE

The C doesn't look bad, but like you said, it is no Chief Wahoo.

it's a move that makes sense though, let him get the min 60ish days in minor leagues and avoid the weird arbitration thus saving money. and, it allows him to still hone his pitches especially his slider which needs some work

>wearing a royals jersey
kill yourself

That Yandy-fense tho

this

>miggy swinging like a madman with 1 out
W H Y

FUCK YOU V-MART

Reminder that striking out Miggy is like winning the world series for injins fans

please trade vmart

>vmart

Tigers are trying to out-Indians the Indians

>trade

JD back when?

Tell me one good reason why 1) V-Mart should even be playing and 2) he should be batting 4th

hard mode: no muh righty-lefty-righty

Lol, we are stuck with him for another year after this one at the low low price of $18 million per

nice dubs, but even they can't make anyone take VMart

Are there bigger jews than sports agents? It is unbelievable.

>gomes

i am positive there is a playoff bound team who could use him as a DH

he's useless at this point though and should be moved in the lineup

Reminder that Verlander striking out any indian is like winning the world series for tiggs fans

...

how many championships have you guys won in the past 60 years again?

You know, at first I would say you are nuts, but we somehow managed to offload that fat fuck fielder and we only had to pay like half of the salary, or whatever.

Except now, we have fucking Avila in charge so yeah that won't happen.

>brad's face

give me a screenshot

i'm watching on tv sorry breh

...

He seems likes a good lad. I will root for him to get it going against the Twins.

What the fuck is Edlose's problem?

if boyd continues to develop the rotation is going to be really young and pretty damn good

>Edwin

Sure are getting our money's worth.

...

Only Zimmermann sucks at this point it seems.

...

Thankfully the tiggs showed them how many championships they won last year

>Verlan9ER

Edwin making his best postseason Napoli impression

oh yeah i forgot about him in the rotation

yeah he sucks for some reason, i'm just convinced at this point anyone decent at pitching who comes here sucks shit immediately. see: zimm, soria, benoit (kinda), nathan

Yeah but he always sucks against Cleveland. He is Cy young tier against everyone else.

Add Washburn to the list.

Although it seemed like Fister got better and Scherzer turned into a god.

>tfw no more fisting jokes

robot umps ASAP

shook of avila?!?!?!?

Boyd is based

should have dropped it for dat dere DP

that works too

semen slurping inning

Damn nice play

>1 pitch inning
>Diaz showing Castellanos how to play defense

>this fucking zone

>gomes
