Bradley with 2 HR’s, JRam also with one, Hernandez too. 4-4 top 5 in this 7 inning game I think. First game of DH got rained out, not sure if the 2nd game is then changed back to 9?

Gotta love today's MLB... Four home runs and we're tied at four. I see Detroit is up 9-4 now, I'm assuming they hit five home runs between a bunch of KOs.

Tribe needs to win game two of this DH.
Hopefully, Jose continues to play after fouling one off his face in game 1.

Indians find another new way to lose. I don't know what our record is on Sundays, but it has to be awful.

Indians no hit in Game 1 of DH by Tampa Bay who was pitching a bullpen game.
Not good.

They're not considered a no-hitter by MLB.

Can't tell you how many no-no's I have seen broken up in the 8th and 9th inning over the years, but it's a lot. Getting to the 9th means a pitcher is going through a lineup at least 3 times, when major league hitters usually start figuring a pitcher out. It wouldn't be fair, IMO, to the guys who went 9 innings if they awarded a no hitter or a perfecto to a guy who only threw 7 innings.

Oh, I know. Crap, it seems every one that was broken up last year was one out away! I tend to agree with fairness aspect, although I'm not sure why anyone would object to an asterisk to give a nod of the cap anyway.

Cut out the 7 inning double-headers and go back to playing 9 innings. Problem solved.
Otherwise, you'll continue to have these situations pop-up.
Baseball can't get out of it's own way sometimes.

There's a built in bias at work. If a pitcher loses a no-hitter or perfect game in the 4th or 5th, it's not even notable, unless he goes on to complete the game and give up no others. He may throw 7, 1-hit innings and be relieved, but nobody will think about it as a near no-hitter. It isn't until the late innings that it will be seen as one.

I agree - MLB keeps tripping over itself by trying to cater to casual fans who don't really like their game. IMO, if you are going to an Indians game worried about how long it will take, then maybe its not the game for you. The 7 inning double headers, the ridiculously contrived "ghost runner" at 2nd base to start extra innings, as well as the rule about forcing relief pitchers to face 3 hitters really detract from the game, imo.

I agree with you on the rules.
I think MLB is trying to cater to the at-home viewer rather than those going to the ball park. Anyone that's been to Progressive Field lately (last few years) knows that people in their 20s and 30s make up for a large percentage of the crowd. The right field section where the "Corner" bar and standing room only section is always packed. It's as much a social event as anything.
Overall, families are busier than ever nowadays and a lot of people are not willing to commit the 3+ hrs to watch the full game at home, especially during the warm summer months. MLB is trying to win back this consumer, imo.

It's not like they're all sitting around saying "man, if they can just get the game time down to 2:15 -- I'm in!" Meanwhile, millions of fans are alienated from the game they loved with nearly every move that is made. It's a slap in the face... The same kind as when the cable co. offers great deals to new customers and tells the lifers to pound salt. I've just about given up on the game, my interest was waning anyway, now it's reached near punchline status.

I've just about given up on the game, my interest was waning anyway, now it's reached near punchline status. Rob Manfred has done a overcorrection that doesn't seem to be working out. In reality, MLB needs to learn market it's star players. It's amazing how bad they are at marketing their league. What Shoei Otani is doing hasn't been done since Babe Ruth and the Angels have been on Sunday Night Baseball once and that was on April 4th. If the MLB wants casual fans to tune in, nationally televise and market the star players. Don't make a bunch of goofy rules. Casual fans care about stars, not teams.

Scary thing is that we have lost our top 3 pitchers, and have floundered about, and are only 7.5 games out of 1st. Our entire division has struggled

First I want to say nice win for the Tribe 2-1, B Bradley with the walk off HR, his 10th on the year in 100 at bats.
Second, why would you take McKenzie out of the game, 85 pitches, rolling along with his best outing of the year. 1 hit, 9k’s. Would have let him start the 8th at least.

Today was the 8th rain out of the season for the Indians. 10 day forecast says rain and t'storms for 9 of the next 10 days. Doubleheaders are going to be stacking up after the All Star break. So much for having a few pops on the patio while listening to the game.

I don't know about NW Ohio, but around here it seems like we've been in "the gray box" since October. I've heard of seasonal affective disorder, but never heard of it being all year round. I blame the lake, because I have friends and family in Columbus and Cinci and they have way more sunny days than we do here in Cleveland.

Crazy thing is, here we've had too many 90+ humid days........it takes getting used to. And, just when you think you're used to it, we get today: 71, and rainy, and you're cold.
I don't believe we've had an abnormal amount of rain this year. You get those 90+ days, high humidity, where storms just pop up. I missed out on about 6 softball games due to the weather. I guess it's called life, right?

Yeah, that's how it goes. I've always thought that you talk about weather when you don't have anything else to say, but this endless cloud cover is getting on my last nerve. Anyhoo, to bring it back to baseball, they could have easily played this game today if they had just moved the start time from 1PM to 2PM. It hasn't rained since 1PM.
