Was hoping to see Santana with the cycle - only needed a single in the 9th but struck out. Man, we hit the cover off the ball tonight. Had scored runs in nine straight innings going back to last night - first time since 1980.
I've followed Espino a bit. For a teenager to have stuff like that is ridiculous. He also has a giant frame so there is room for more. Cleveland got a potential great pitcher. The only thing is that high school arms are likely to get hurt at some point between the minors and majors, how Espino avoids/handles that injury will be huge.
Carlos Carrasco is temporarily stepping away from baseball to address a blood condition that has caused him to feel lethargic in recent weeks. The Indians don’t know when he’ll return, but they say they expect him back at some point this season. https://twitter.com/ZackMeisel/status/1136341218277974016
At DT, context and meaning are a scarecrow kicking at moving goalposts.

The Indians bet on their pitching depth and did nothing this off-season. Even that bet was a little bit outlandish. Their pitching depth has taken major hits and now they wasted a year of their window. The ownership should be embarrassed with what they did with this team.
Well, it is officially time for the Tribe to become sellers.

What do they have to sell? They can't/shouldn't trade Lindor, Ramirez's value is as low as it's ever going to be, and Bauer hasn't been himself either.
I bet they end up trading Bauer but they aren't going to get as much as they want for him.
Why would we sell? We are maybe 9.5 back if we win tonight with about 100 to play. We will get hot, we will get healthy. Minny will hit a cold run at some point. We shouldnt even think about selling til late July!!!

Bauer still has plenty of value as a player, the issue is his approach on year-to-year contracts. Brad Hand is 3rd in saves in MLB and provides a left hand in the bullpen any team would want. I agree on Ramirez's value and Lindor isn't going anywhere. I wonder what the team thinks of Zimmer with guys like Mercado, Luplow, and Bauers in the mix? Not sure they would get much but he is super young.
I don't think the Indians will be big sellers, but I think they should consider bringing up & continue to play younger guys to see what is worth keeping and focusing on. Kipnis will be gone. Kluber will most likely be gone. Bauer could be gone. Ramirez could be dealt. Yet there is still some quality youngsters that don't constitute a full rebuild like we've done in the past-- mostly due to the young pitching of Clev, Bieber, Plesac and hopefully anchored by Carrasco for the next couple of years. The pitching, despite injuries, is pretty much set for the future IMO. The younger offensive guys, however, still need to develop.
I really want to see this Bobby Bradley guy down in AAA Columbus.

I am definitely looking forward to seeing Bradley. I think that he'll really help.
I would love to know what happened to Jose. Man, he just fell off the edge last year, and hasn't recovered yet.
I just have to wonder if we have any starting pitching left in AAA. Jefrey Rodriguez is now also on the IL with a shoulder, and is out 2-3 weeks. That's 4 starters down. I wonder who we bring up next. Clevinger is scheduled to make a Minor League start, but I don't know how many starts they want to see ... or how many innings they want to see him go.
If I'm the Indians, I am wrapping Bauers and Bieber in bubble wrap before they leave the ball park every night.

Danny Salazar Making Good Progress 5 days agoCleveland Indians pitcher Danny Salazar (shoulder) started throwing live batting practice for the first time on Tuesday, and manager Terry Francona said the right-hander has been making solid progress since then. The 29-year-old missed all of 2018 due to injury but should help the Indians out for the second half of this season. It's unclear if he'll work in a starting or relief role, but Salazar could have deep mixed and AL-only value in a starting role after he went 11-6 with a 3.87 ERA, 1.34 WHIP and 10.6 K/9 in 25 starts in 2016. Salazar owns an impressive 10.5 strikeouts per nine innings in his five years in the big leagues.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller
It would be great if he could come back and be an effective mid level starter, at least.

Un-freaking-believable ... Trevor Bauer just got drilled by a line drive back up the middle on his lower left leg, very much like the shot that broke his leg last year. He's walking it off, apparently okay, but this is getting ridiculous.
