Twins loss Tuesday hurt more than Tigers loss. Have to take both today and at least one over the weekend. Then we have 7 vs Astros and Twins to make something happen.....

I agree. Season is over. Too many teams to overcome and we don't have the bats to sustain a streak. Kipnis is the most responsible but the offense just doesn't have enough depth. Who's the DH? Walters? Aguillar? Giambi?

Some people have given Kluber the nickname KLUBOT.
I prefer KUBLER KHAN.

Only 2 teams ahead of us in the division. We are 3.5 behind the Tigers, and can move to 3 behind the Royals if they can keep them from scoring 2 runs in their last AB of the suspended game.
17 games to go...

Loss column JR, loss column is all that matters. We are three back! Lots of baseball left and the way our pitching is holding up combined with a very weak remaining schedule we can certainly go on a serious run to close it out!

will need a bit of offense from somewhere. I've given up on Kipnis suddenly getting hot. How about Giambi? Not likely. Maybe Aguillar could help a bit if he played. Maybe the new trade acquisitions: Shuck and Giminez? I don't think so.

Michael Brantley and Carlos Carrasco show true trade evals can take five years-plus and are jewels of Indians' tremendous player-dev system.

Carrasco eval is not complete. Let's see him pitch one solid season, not one month of good starts, before reaching our conclusion.

If we can try Urshela at 3B, could Chisenhall and Mcallister bring us anything in a trade package?

Say, perhaps, a Right handed bat?

of course it's a risk to rely on Urshela before he's played one day in the majors. He's hardly the "sure thing" that Lindor is. Which I guess means that Kipnis could be a trade piece, although he comes with the burden [or maybe its a blessing] of a long-term deal and a weak current year performance; at least we know how we'd replace him.
