Nope it's Ben Taylor's turn instead. And he screws up the shutout.

They showed Bieber many times during game and he sports a neatly trimmed beard.

So no one will confuse him with Justin.

As the players came in from the field, Francona slapped Shane on the back and talked to him. Wish I was a lip reader.

Wished we played them every day.

And there is one of the reasons the front office doesn't have to hurry to get relief help. They are seeing what they have in house first. (Not much)

The division is so pathetic they don't have to rush things. Also, they don't want to send out signals they are panicking. Because they aren't.

I do think any deal is for the playoffs and they will add likely 2 relievers.

Oh heck, nobody is worried about the division. I'm worried about Allen and Miller. And getting them some help before they are driven into the ground.

Not to mention the starters. For example, they pushed Bauer to more pitches than normal last outing because they didn't trust the pen.

Miller is 33 and has had some significant injuries these past two years. He's hurt his market value; his timing is unfortunate for himself, but I still doubt the Indians pick him up.

Ben Taylor optioned to Columbus to make room for Da Biebs.

And more addition by subtraction --

Roster move today

RHP Oliver Drake has been claimed on waivers by @LAAngelsPR and is reporting to their Major League club.

At game tonight. Anyone else?

Who is airing the game tonight????????

Well that was a great first inning...

Bieber buzzes through the first 2 innings. 3-0 EE continues his heating up with an RBI double.

Didn't realize that his usual fastball is 94 MPH. And with movement. Not a soft tosser but does get grounders.

Looks to me like a 23 year old Kluber type.

Saw him up to 95 MPH in the 3rd inning on a strikeout pitch.

Only 33 pitches after 3. Lots of grounders keeps the old pitch count down!

I have Bieber Fever!

It was a low fever, only 100 degrees, now 8-2 Tribe but he has gone 5 innings and could get his first ML win!

5th inning his first trouble and does a solid job limiting the damage.

Lindor earlier hit a 3 run bomb (2 doubles and a homer) and it's 8-2 after 5
