If you appoint someone the fans love even more than yourself it could be a serious danger to the future of your job.

Watching the tribe will give you an ulcer. Nice pitching start by Cal though

I'm watching the "Field of Dreams" game on FOX broadcast (channel 8 in Cleveland). So neat to see the small ballpark surrounded by cornfields. Loved that movie; its in my top 5 of baseball movies (Major League, Bull Durham, Field of Dreams, For Love of the Game, The Natural).

Very cool. I liked the introduction with the players walking out of the corn field.

It was no field of dreams for the Indians today ..... a 17-0 loss.

What an ending to a great game...

Would've been fun to be there.

McKenzie came within 4 outs of a perfect game today. I was actually impressed that he struck the guy out to end the 8th after giving up a clean single to end the perfecto bid. I've seen lots of pitchers get unhinged once they lose their shot at "immortality".

Despite '21 being a fairly dismal year for the Indians, I think there are some reasons to be optimistic going forward. Quantrill and McKenzie appear ready to round out the pitching staff behind Bieber, Civale, and Plesac. It also looks like we *might* have an answer in CF with Myles Straw and at SS with Amed Rosario. Outfield defense has improved a lot since we went with Straw in CF, Mercado in LF, and Zimmer in RF. Lots of speed out there.

Most importantly, I'm thinking the team is going spend its way back up towards $80M or so, and maybe more if they find that minority partner they are rumored to be close to getting.

Feeling good about the ‘22 Guardians line-up and staff:

1B: Bobby Bradley/Yu Chang
2B: Andres Gimenez
SS: Amed Rosario
3B: Jose Ramirez - I will be super pissed if we trade him
RF: Harold Ramirez
CF: Miles Straw
LF: FA or Bradley Zimmer - if we gotta spend $$$ this where
DH: Franmil Reyes

SP: Shane Bieber
SP: Aaron Civale
SP: Zach Plesac
SP: Cal Quantrill
SP: Triston McKenzie

RP: Karanchack/Clase

Angels vs Indians at Williamsport, PA, on ESPN. Pretty cool event, almost first pitch time.

So I'm listening to the Indians game on the radio, and they're playing from the Little League complex in Williamsport Pa. The Indians just brought in James Karinchak to pitch the 8th, and you hear some little kid yell at Karinchak "Give 'em the heater, Ricky!". The announcer, Jim Rosenhaus, lost it. LMAO! I'm stunned that a 12 year old would have any idea about Major League.

He has really come into his own. Our starting pitching next year should be outstanding again.

I believe I've seen enough of James Karinchak. Tonight he came in to pitch the 8th with a 3-1 lead, and proceeded to walk a guy, give up a single. and then a 3-run bomb. Nice job, Karinchak, nice job! That's why we brought you in. 4-3 Red Sox. GRRR!

I had the same thoughts when I watched the #9 batter smoke one out off him in that situation.

I think they should move Karinchak to the back of the bullpen where he could get some extended innings to work on command. Rotate Shaw, Wittgren, and Parker in the 7th-8th inning set up role. Can't believe how many late inning, 2-strike homers this bullpen gives up. I sometimes wonder if our signs are being stolen ...

Even better. He can get some work in high leverage situations down there.

Amed Rosario went 5-5 last night in the Tribes 7-2 win over the Royals. Inside the park HR, another HR and 3 singles. He had 42 hits in the month of August batting almost .380. Not a bad month for him. He’s leading the league in 4+ hit games this year.

What a night for him!

Incredible. Tearing the cover off the ball! Wahoo!

The Yankees and REd Sox, are going to be on Abc next.

I had no idea How Much I Hate Baseball!!!
I just cussed the TV out, what the heck is baseball doing on, On College Football Saturday.

Oh My Gosh I Hate Baseball Sooo Much!

You messed it up 20 YEARS AGO!

And you're complaining about ABC showing ONE baseball game? Get a grip, bud, use your remote and change the EFFING channel. Just stay the hell off baseball threads, because we all know you hate it. After all, you come on them and tell us 3-4 times a year.

I just wanted to Like your post twice Dave, Thank You!

Thanks.
