I would also add that Zimmer is the read deal, folks. He can do it all.

I like these walk-off wins where all the guys in the dugout find whatever fluids or powders they can to douse the runner coming home.
It's okay, but a little played-out. I like it when the whole team gives the guy the cold shoulder. As if nothing special just happened. No high-5's, no hugs, no acknowledgement of any kind for about 30 seconds and then they rush the guy. That's funny.
“...Iguodala to Curry, back to Iguodala, up for the layup! Oh! Blocked by James! LeBron James with the rejection!”
My youngest son and I were up the game last night. Glad we stayed until the end...incredible ending! He even managed to get a ball from the Angels bullpen and a pic with Gabby.
Headed back up tonight for another one. Hopefully, they can keep the wins coming up at home. Cookie is on the mound, so I like our odds.
Last night was the first time in MLB history that a team hit 2 grand slam homers in a game including a walk-off.
Fernando Tatis owns the best grand slam record in baseball history. He hit two grand slams in the same inning while also setting the record for most RBI's in an inning too. You'd think they'd just plunk the guy before giving him another pitch to hit with the sacks jacked.
Speaking of double homer innings, I thought it was cool that Carlos Baerga hit two homers in the same inning, but from both sides of the plate, which I think has only happened two other times. Rare feat.

After the Gatorade bath, one of the Indians picked up what looked like a softball-sized chunk of ice and plunked another Indians guy in the back with it.. It appeared to shatter into little pieces but still..

I remember watching this live with Tatis. A cool feat.
"First down inside the 10. A score here will put us in the Super Bowl. Jeudy is far to the left as Njoku settles into the slot. Tillman is flanked out wide to the right. Judkins and Ford are split in the backfield as Flacco takes the snap ... Here we go."
Boy the Angels just implode after a while don't they? I clicked away from the mlb tab in my browser for a couple minutes, come back and a 2-2 tie was an 8-2 lead. Then we end the inning with 2 more runs.
WE DON'T NEED A QB BEFORE WE GET A LINE THAT CAN PROTECT HIM my two cents...
I get that issue sometimes when i travel back to ohio, Just get a proxy or vpn and watch through that, changes your IP so it appears you aren't local

I'll be "taking" this to the Rocky Hill Library. Talking to one of the IT people.
In case you didn't know, in decent public libraries, "librarians" are now like general PC IT people.
Instead of "bookworms" (the old librarian model), they're all PC savvy.
But do they still put their hair up, wear tight skirts, put their reading glasses down on their nose, and push carts full of books around? Oh the memories..

Yeah. Sort of.
The librarians at my local libraries look like they might be the same ones who were there when I was a kid. Short skirt and high heels have been replaced with stretch pants, compression socks, and orthopedic shoes.

I think the Tribe is undefeated since the Kyrie news came out.
Royals have won 8 straight and gained a 1/2 game on the Indians. Its strange here in Cleveland how none of the sports talk is about our 1st place MLB team. The local shows have been doing Lebron-Kyrie 24-7 since last week. Today, after the 2-1 win, the shows are all on remote at Browns' training camp asking questions like "So, Jabrill, how did it feel signing your first NFL contract?". Yikes. 28,000+ showed up for the Indians' game today - not great, but pretty good - but its no thanks to local sports talk. They've been doing Cavs since the season ended a month ago. It must be kind of frustrating for the Indians' front office.
Today the Tribe won 2-1, their 7th straight. Bauer went 8 innings, wiggling out of trouble with runners on 2nd and 3rd, and no outs in the 7th. He turned it on, and got out ... then wiped out the Angels in the 8th. Bauer is now 9-8 on the season, and probably held onto his starting job.
Now we go on the road.

I would say that 28K for a day game when your average is only 23K is pretty great.
I had the game on the radio at work, and Tom Hamilton said they have been drawing better at weekday day games than they have for night games, which is a departure from years past. They averaged 29,000 for the last 6 home games, which is good but still only 73% of capacity for Progressive Field. I think attendance could be 10-15% better with a little more attention from the 2 radio stations that are strictly sports talk here. But its been all hoops here since the NBA season ended. Now that Browns TC has opened, it'll be all Browns. Its a little annoying, if you're a baseball fan.
Bauer is now 9-8 on the season, and probably held onto his starting job.
I think they have to stay with Bauer. Its frustrating sometimes to watch him go to 3-2 on a guy he had down in the count 0-2, but his stuff is really good. IMO, some patience now will pay off with a front-of-the rotation starter in the years to come. Its just the way it is sometimes with young pitchers - the progression is not a straight, upward line on a graph. Today, when he got out of that jam, he showed that he is maturing as a pitcher; he's not just a thrower anymore.
I've noticed the uptick in attendance when I have been up at the games. As you mentioned, the day games have been big draws this year. Parking typically doubles in price for the day games.
Compared to last year, the attendance increase has been quite noticeable.
It's a fun team with talent and some great personalities that the town and/or more casual fan is starting to love.
Going to a Tribe has become en vogue again. I see a lot of twenty-somethings at the games and that's a great thing.
Great win today. Anyone else notice Lindor look back and jaw at Maldonado after he singled to drive in what would be the go-ahead and winning run? Great stuff.
I'll be curious how long they continue with the 6 man rotation. Salazar is on the mound tomorrow.
Indians have compiled a pretty good win-streak and are now up against the last place White Sox. You know what that means? Three game sweep! (For the White Sox )
