Not his greatest outing but nice to see Carrasco back in the rotation and pitched solid.

Glad I brought back a winner!

Anybody notice the Tribe is running on Lucroy every chance they get. Guess they're trying to thank him for refusing the trade.

At least he was honest claiming he would get moved from catcher if coming to Cleveland.

He did us a favor!

Did he ever! We still have some very valuable pieces (i.e. Mejia) thanks to his veto.

AND I did not see his total OFFENSIVE downturn coming either. We would have been stuck with a crap contract with a guy who can't even hit much at this point.

We got that already at catcher and our guys can field!

Soo...Yonder Alonso a very nice #6 hitter. But we need a #5 hitter better than him.

Lucroy has been a defensive butcher in this game and they are stealing on him (again) like he isn't even there.

I had feared Neil Ramirez had been overused and I do think that's led to him giving up 3 runs and the lead to now make it 3-3.

Not a well managed game I am sorry to say.

I gotta agree Lou

As of the 5th Inning 0-5 RISP

If that game last night had been me, Kluber at 102 pitches would have started the 8th. Who knows, perhaps he gets out of the inning even with say..8 pitches. It happens. But at least he can maybe get an out or 2.

The hopeful side of me says that Tito knows they will be dealing for a couple of relievers (and Miller comes back) so he isn't worried about overusing Ramirez. After adding the new relievers and Miller, they toss him into the waste bin where he came from.

Wow, what a great catch by Naquin to end the inning and save Clevinger a run!

Now Greg Allen with a leaping catch at the wall to save another run!

(Clevinger getting smacked around first couple innings. Lucky to have only allowed 1 run so far)

Holy crap. Alonso's homer was a rope that got out of there in a hurry.
