>this tank team will compete harder against us than the yankees

>verlander had pitched for 10 years already

I wish lindor wasn't always trying to hit home runs

Yeah, >we always get wrecked by the teams we actually should sweep

Why is Matt Underwood even employed? Why dont they just sync tom hamilton for sports time ohio and then fire underwood?

How many times are the benches going to clear this series?

zero

cookie looks solid so far today

>blocks your path

In for the Tribe

ENCARNACION

...

>tiggers only have a SORA version of Verlander now

...

So what happened with Verlander, did he void the trade?

he gone

That Miggy contract looks horrible right now

I don't know why they didn't shut down Miggy already, they've been talking about how his back has been fucked up all year long.

Plus all the Venezuela shit

Strike out
Pick off

>safe
bs call there was literally no visual proof

Bryan Shaw never fails at pissing me off somehow

Brucie

3-2 lead, Lindor clutch as always

Resign Bruce and give Frankie a lifetime contract

...

Lonnie is back!

>Lonnie named his daughter "Loftin"
GETS US

>Lonnie named his daughter "Loftin"
seriously?

I don't get it..

well, he couldn't come right out and name her Kenny.

...

gg tigs

>Miggy

Is this the location for the second game?

wew

If the thread survives until 7, i won't post a new one.

sure, why not

fuck detroit

Is this game 2 thread too?

Now that I can watch let's not have a shit show Tribe!!

Based Virgin Islands bro where've you been??

It's Tribe Time now!

>resurgent Roberto Perez
>batting .205
What did he mean by that?

Wew save'd

Lineup:
Zimmer
Yandy (3B)
Bruce
Encarnacion
Santana
Chiz (LF)
Perez
Urshela (SS)
EGonz (2B)

He means he used to bat worse

Wow what a weird ass lineup

Holy shit lads Mejia is amongst us

Too much work all the time, man. Last week all the tourists left and slow season's starting but instead of relaxing we brace to get hit by a major hurricane. I was supposed to fly out of here next week.

Irma headed your way?

Andre Knott btfo by carrasco

Must be nice though, where are you leaving to, NEO?

love it, I bet he's fucking stoked about the Brownies perfect preseason

Nice under normal conditions when there's not a storm I mean

Looking like it. People are taking this one seriously. Shuttered up some houses today with friends. Construction crews are all securing their work sites. People stocking up on water and batteries and shit.

Yeah it's nice if you like sun and beach. No Ohio for me though this trip. Headed to Maine to see family then maybe Puerto Rico on the way back.

Sounds good, never been to either but I'm stoked about going to PR for that series against the Twins next season

GO GIO GOOOOO

>blocks your path again

Cleveland had the most handsome infield in Baseball. Might have the most handsome team period.

Yeah I was gonna try and get tickets to go. It's only a 30 minute flight over and the stadium is right by the airport

Don't go into commentating Cookie kek

the good news is Irma will be taking a more southerly route, possibly just south of Cuba, before entering the Gulf.

>it's an Injuns score all their runs in one inning episode

Pls no

HOLY SHIT GIO

Stupid play but HOLY

>that throw from the grass
wew

God we missed you Chis

>bases loaded no outs

ruh roh

hello children just thought i would check up on you guys

one day you'll be as good as daddy just keep working hard

BASED BERTO

Thanks for the encouragement! Please tell the Sneks we'll see them in October when you play them next week!

GOT EM

next year Detroit is going to be like 2005 Detroit

Do you think Cleveland will be getting their home reno projects paid for? The next 6 games after tonight are all Detroit and White Sox.

Top kek would they go bankrupt??

Is An Clevinger elite?

Who knows. It was such an unlikely weirdly specific promo that I don't know how many takers there were.

But I wouldn't put it past them. Their commercials make them sound like the kind of business that might not have crunched the numbers beforehand.

Pretty much anyone is elite against that lineup.

SOLO BERTO

BIG BOI

>getting closer to october
>roberto starting to hit again

Miggy is always so talkative and friendly, why isn't he pushing on anybody???


MACHINE LEGS
GOT MACHINE LEGS

Wew Hardy looks a tad turnt

Even Gomes is hitting.

Whoever makes the memes, I'm going to need a blurry one of "very fast zimzam running at incredible hihg speed"

tigs are dead, they need to save runs for the rest of the weekend

>sac fly

it's so rare, let's take a moment to appreciate this

>You now remember double sweep day

Engines about to have their second 9 game winning streak in a month

>tfw we cant have double header sweeps every day

>Letting Edwindian score from second

Officially fully tanking

but let's keep going

GREG ALLEN IS IN THE GAME

MEJIA SOON

>the city of detroit

>one nothing two nothing three nothing Indians
>four nothing five nothing six nothing Indians
>seven nothing eight nothing nine nothing Indians
>ten nothing Indians, pitching change

>10-0
Fuck this team is scorching hot right now

lel

I know the cynical answer is the Tiggers are ded but they really are trying

they did put up a lot more of a fight in the first game

>18.00 ERA

Indians scoring stops now

>buck farmer
>zach reinigger
tigers are toast

Replace matt underwear with Carrasco right fucking now

>reinigger

I just keep holding my breath for when Hammy does one of those mid-word pauses
