Lets Talk Indians

Rotation is not without its problems either. Do not look a contender at all without major changes to the roster.

Basically gone with an unchanged pitching roster, you really need to change it up, no way known this rotation can get around Yankees or Red Sox,

Bullpen hey

AL Central is junk though so I'm sure yall will work it out.

 

[MadTigerFan]

What's up with Miller?

What's up with Miller?

Age and injuries catching up to him i think. Has been overworked over the last few seasons.

Apart from Tomlin our starting rotation has still been one of the better one's in the league i believe, the bullpen is killing our starters hard work though.

Yonder was a waste of money and Edwin has been awful , too many mediocre hitters this year with exception of Lindor, JRam , Brantley (who would've thought after all the injuries) and even Yan Gomes. Naquin was travelling alright too. We just got Melky so too early to make a call on him but the rest of the team have been useless.

Just goes to show that Callaway was our most valuable piece over the last years.

 

[Chops18]

love it. Why the * Francona keeps giving him innings I'll never know. He's always been hack , at least guys like McCallister, Otero etc... have shown something in the past that suggests they can get better.

Miller, Allen and Shaw all have been.

 

[MadTigerFan]

Call up Mejia already, got a fantasy team who needs him lol.

Yonder is putting up Yonder type numbers, he was a cheap option, get what you pay for. EE is 35, no one wanted to pay him because of this but in saying that he's very very streaky, he probably has another 10 homer month on the horizon.

If you have nothing positive to say about the Indians take it to the main board.

Not sure we have too much positive either, other than an 8.5 game lead in the Division. Cody Allen really sucked dick today, blowing a 4-0 lead in the 9th. Not really sure why you would bring him out with the game like that.

the bringer of rain. what a great get for the indians.

Finally some action

 

[Persevering Saint]

Interesting the Indians went down to Tampa at home. Even with the one loss, Glasnow pitched pretty impressively for the Rays, and it was neck-and-neck for six innings.

Despite the Indians' highly toughted bullpen, I'm not convinced by many of their pitchers beyond Kluber.

[Oscarman]

We don't care.

Others might not but by commenting you obviously do.

When you put it in the Indians thread we sort of have to say something.

What do you want us to say about it, dont think the vib of this thread the last 3 months is anything else but we already know this and are making up the numbers, so besides trying to annoy us what other purpose is there to gain in posting this.

Why dont you post it in the Astros thread to discuss with all your astros fans?

Oh thats right.

Everyone looks at the record and thinks that we'll be easy beats come postseason but we won't be. We play better against top teams and just finished up getting the better of the best team in the league on the season. Our rotation is among the best if not the best in baseball and now with Donaldson our lineup is much deeper.

 

[Oscarman]

Only been going half paced for a while knowing the Division was a certainty. Only issue is pitching.

I hope we can get back up to speed again come the end of the week.

Its going to be a interesting post season, its one of these ones in all seriousness I can see us getting real momentum and going all the way, but also going out in straight sets, because our division has been so weak this year it is hard to get any reading on how good or bad the team is.

With respect, you guys were formidable throughout the season last year, and then folded like a pack of cards to the WC team, didn't you?

Lots to prove this year about your post-season resilience.
