Every ball so far has been squared up. Kip's just happened to be right at Bonifacio

NASTY LIL COWBOY ROUND EM UP

Ded thread

Getting tired of these FUCKING GIDPS

>11 game hitting streak for EE

IT'S HAPPENING

new strategy: every single time a leadoff gets on base, sac bunt

Sweet, wanted this file for some time

Is the Soler meme Dead?

dubs confirm soler a shit

Easy on the line drives, Cowboy.

Please no implosions Tomlin-sempai

>We
could really use top-form Guyer to kill the lefty meme

THAT'S IT

THE GIDP MEME IS DEAD

THE TRIBE NEVER HITS INTO ANOTHER GIDP EVER AGAIN

THANK YOU BASED VAN BURKLEO FOR TEACHING THESE BUMS HOW TO NOT CHOP THE BALL DOWN

Hopefully this isn't the episode where the Indians waste all of their early offense opportunities and let an opposing pitcher (Lefty) settle in and blank them

Redpill me on GIDP

...

I swear to God don't do it...

The true redpill: the Indians don't GIDP that much.

FULL SKELETON

FULL SKELETON

REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

True but they're going to do it in every single inning and lose the game on a GIDP, cap this post.

Brantley will have a 4 hit game though.

I love those happy strikeouts. I know he looked silly, he knows he looked silly, may as well not it too seriously.

Tomlin looking very crisp tonight at least. Please give this man run support.

YANIMAL

Injuns desu

Is Josh Tomlin, dare I say, back?

When will they learn ?

never

Seems that way. From here on if the Tribe loses this game it's not his fault.

This is now an old-school Tribe thread

Nice

In before GIDP

Fire Van Burkleo right now

>ynr the Indians could be up by 6 rn

based Milk Chocolate

I've honestly lost track of how many double plays the Indians have hit into.

Probably set a record, will be on Quick Pitch tomorrow

Tomlin has been a beast. Indians lose this game and it is 100% the offense's fault.

...

dat niggas safe

He's safe.

Fucking Underwood, shut up you homer

Give the man some run support!

squeeze bunting is best bunting

What a stupid fucking game. Legitimately pissed off right now, these fucking assholes finally show they CAN hit a lefty only to literally kill themselves every fucking time.

Meanwhile, even though they're bad now, Hammy won't get off the Royals' dicks.

Incoming complete game shut out

...

...

>Royal's might potentially win a game

GG Royals

Team meeting tonight

Never should've let Davis go.

Fine the whole team and send all the money to Tomlin's account. Ridiculous.

...

>that slip

>Cleveland

Game tying grand slam ?

Welp

vargas stepped it up this year

Good game boys

Always at least one ALC team that gives us even more trouble than the others.
