I think that the Nelson Cruz strain is classic.
What I mean is he was hitting like a 25 year-old world class superstar slugger. But in a 39 year-old body.
As I've heard it put before: "The body can't continue to do what the mind wants."
Probably happens to every guy. (girls are smarter)

It appears I will be wrong, about being out 6 games, by aug 23.
For the out of towners, the game is on MLB network tonight.

"First down inside the 10. A score here will put us in the Super Bowl. Cooper is far to the left as Njoku settles into the slot. Moore is flanked out wide to the right. Chubb and Ford are split in the backfield as Watson takes the snap ... Here we go."

Don't blame the clown for acting like a clown. Ask yourself why you keep going to the circus.

What sucks is that Dish is having a dispute with FoxSports Regional Networks, including STO ...... so I can't watch Indians baseball, and haven't been able to for a little while now. ![flamingmad flamingmad](/images/graemlins/default_dark/flamingmad.gif)

Ladies and gentlemen, the AL Central is now tied. Tribe has a chance to go 2 up with a sweep. ![laugh laugh](/images/graemlins/default_dark/laugh.gif)

With Kip being a FA, possible replacement of Arrroyo, and maybe trading Kluber, do we have enough money for Puig next season? He seems a great fit with our team!

Tied up ... I think Tribe at least splits this weekend ... that would be considered a huge success

Very simple key for today's game. Plutko has pretty decent stats, except one - Home Runs Allowed. He's averaging giving up a homer every ~ 4 innings. That's outrageously bad. Consider that the average runs scored per homer is 1.6. (on average, there's .6 men on base during a homer) That's over 3 runs per game by homer for Plutko. (and does not count all the other runs allowed) Pitchers don't last long with stats like that. ![](https://i.imgur.com/hnpJ4EX.jpg) Big game for Plutko's career. Can he subdue the current 2019 MLB team home run leader? (Twins) PS. This is all part of Francona's "September Strategy". Getting the team ready for the fall. There is one other statistical key - the Tribe score more runs in the game today. ![](https://i.imgur.com/g2FTYVR.jpg)

Odorizzi today and Berrios tomorrow are going to be a very tough task for the Featherheads. Both pitch really well against us, plus they are going up against the tail-enders of our makeshift rotation, Plutko and Civale. If we get out of Minnesota having won 3 of 4 it will be a major success. A split would be no disgrace, under the circs.
