Indians about to start a brutal 10 game stretch. 3 against Boston, 4 at Yankees, and 3 at the Mets. Red Sox are done. Stick a fork in them. Yankees and Mets? Different story.

posty 2,296 Posted August 12, 2019 I will be glad when the Braves are done playing Miami... Yes they are 12-4 against them, but it seems like most of the games even if they get out to a nice lead, the Marlins battle back to either tie it or take the lead...

Big Blue 06 195 Posted August 15, 2019 Huge 4 game series for Cleveland. As much as I’ve been enjoying this Yankees season, it’ll be nice to see them play a quality team after 10 games against the worst garbage in baseball. Indians need to keep winning because the Twins are winning and don’t seem inclined to go away. I’m enjoying that division race and it’ll probably go down to the wire.

vuduchile 1,940 Posted August 16, 2019 Cubs leading 5-1 going to the bottom of the 9th. They gave up 6, including a walk off grand slam to focking Harper. Darvish actually did well, and turned over a winnable game to the bullpen who once again managed to blow it. This sh!t needs to stop now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Last night, they were missing Baez and Contreras and they still managed to score enough to win that game. Kimbrel is still on the IL, and Pedro Strop is just not a closer. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pitch counts trump common sense. https://www.baseball-almanac.com/pitching/picomg4.shtml Blyleven does the Twins commentary sometimes and this is one of his biggest complaints. Not sure if it has to do with all the baseball metrics or specialization or the fact that a lot of these guys are throwing harder for longer periods of time. Dunno. Whatever the case, pitchers who go 9 are a dying breed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
