Twice the Angels have stolen a base tonight, both time our catchers couldn't transition from glove to hand to throw. This has happened a ton this year, especially with Perez. I have never seen anything like it. I form of the yips.

I didn't hear who is behind the plate tonight but this is the biggest strike zone I have ever seen. And it has been almost all in Tribe favor so not just saying that.

Ugh, Fletcher with a double to plate Ohtani. So much for my ingenious plan of no being scared of the rest of their lineup..

4-3 bad guys.

Well, wheels fell off in 8th and we allowed 4. If Perez had thrown base stealer out we get out with no runs scored.

When you are down 4 runs in bottom of 9, what do you want?

Well Kipnis and Perez leading off the inning, of course!

2 quick outs, including another 3 pitch strikeout by Perez.

We then make some noise. Homer by Martin - I really like that cheap pick up - and a single by Lindor, before ending it.

7-4 bad guys.

1. I noticed they let Cimber pitch to a lefty. Oops.

2. HB - I also really like the cheap under the radar pickup of Marteeeen. He gives us a good defensive center fielder who can run. And can hit enough to not be a liability there either.

I think in a perfect world we get another bopper for corner outfielder and have Melky be a very good 4th outfielder.

As for the infield....hey.... Todd Frazier would be an easy pickup!

Hand had a 5 out save last game so I think they wanted to give him the day off. Miller and Perez had already been used.

I actually feel bad for Cimber. First couple hits were dribblers. Bad break. Oh, and he has a catcher that can't transfer the ball out of glove to throw it too.

I haven't heard an update but we may be seeing Haase sooner than later?

I was sutprised Miller was up. He did a good job. Sorry I didn't bring home a winner.

Love those complete game shutouts.

It was date night so I didn’t get a chance to watch the game till late. But how awesome is it to have Kluber back to Cy Young form?

If we can get Miller’s velocity back we might actually be scary in postseason.

Believe there's still something physically wrong with Miller. But who cares about a player that has no long term future with the Tribe. Tito should be nursing and babying him until the post season and then turning him loose. Don't care if Tito burns him out in the playoffs.

Big Advantage to Cleveland today with Angels forced to give a start to "Deck McGuire". Unfortunatley he's gone already despite retiring one batter in the first inning, along with walking one, hitting two, allowing two singles and a 3 run Homer to Babe Ramirez. 3 on one out the big bat of Roberto Perez having a chance to blow the game open in the 1st inning; as well as the more likely chance to hit into a dp and end the rally

Perez force at the plate. Marteen pop up. 3-0 is nice but it could've been way more cushion for Bieber.

Bieber is approaching half a complete game shoutout, 4 1/3 innings, 4 hits, no walks, 5 K. 70 pitches, which guarantees he won't be out there to the end.
Score remains 3-0. Indians have put two on in the 3 2/3 innings since Taylor Cole came on the scene for the Angels.

At which point the wheels begin to fall off; a single; a triple and it's 3-1, one out in the 5th. Ohtanit's on deck [he has a double in 2 at bats today]
