Are we going to have another game thread with no brad posting?
>>68944301
even if we did, it wouldn't really matter. You fags would still be 1-8 with us.
Go burn down an abandoned building to get the frustration out.
>>68944774
Cleveland fans have been the least fun to post with of any series this year so I probably won't post them.

This is a 10/10 OP
>>68944837
I like the Based Brad posting. Very creative and highly entertaining.
>>68945075
I agree today's OP was phenomenal
Thanks. I just feel like I am one of the few people who actually likes Brad. Our local radio station and twitter is always filled with people calling for his head every time we lose.
Of course, there are a few other tigers fans on /sp/ that are on board with based brad
>>68945182
>>68945075
I got the Tribe cap wrong though.
>>68945313
Still great work. I am proud of you.
Tomlin's looking good, good variety of shit right out of the gate. Still, if Detroit has a chance to shut us down, it's today

>>68945182
Local radio and twitter know-it-alls are always the worst. The question I always ask when someone says the manager should be canned only a few months into a season is - do you really think you can find someone better?
>>68945504
Cavs good luck charm tbqh
>>68945686
>do you really think you can find someone better?
So true. Everyone was rubbing their cocks over Gardenhire all off season, but I think he is overrated.
Other than Maddon, Francona, Bochy and Showalter I am not sure who I would immediately take and this is including people who are not even available.
Fact of the matter is our BP is still trash and has been for basically my whole life and we have overpaid, washed up stars that are not performing. JD being injured kinda sucks nuts too.
How this is the manager's fault is beyond me. Does he make mistakes? Of course, but so does every fucking manager.
>>68945920
and adding to my final point, it is lovely hearing the arm chair managers rail Ausmus for mistakes after they get to see the result of that decision.
>>68945920
>Gardenhire
That would've been the worst for your Tigers lol. He always underachieved with the Twins and was one of those old-school managers that always fell back on "keep grinding" - then didn't have much else input.
>>68946222
I know I am glad they did not hire him. Granted, a lot of these people bitching about Ausmus are all old farts that probably like the old school guy that hasn't adapted to the times.
Our problem is we never develop players worth a damn and we have a ton of money tied into players that aren't really multidimensional.
Unless we go into full rebuild we are going to be hovering around 75 wins for years and nothing to show for it.
>It's going to be one of those games
>mfw Lindor is BoiBron in diguise

>didn't score first
it's over bros
>>68946565
>>68946408
Hammy said he was dehydrated
>>68946317
You might have something started with Fulmer though and it's painful to think about (used to it with past Indians seasons) but selling off vets at the deadline might be for the best to speed up a rebuild.
Not counting you guys out this season yet, of course.
>>68946406
Lindor predicted the black Cavs unis that helped win the championship back in December.
>Aviles
Really, Tomlin?
>>68946408
It's general soreness.
>>68946632
He's doing amazing otherwise, chill your nuts
It's a Tribe comes from behind and wins episode!
Michael Martinez!
>Verlander
Is this the same guy who used to own the Tribe?
>>68946728
Fulmer is based and Norris has a ton of potential. I just look at guys like Oh and Brach or even the 7-8-9 the Royals had a few years back and get so jealous. I just want a few good relievers that are reliable. I mean Mark fucking Lowe is about as unreliable as they come.
I would be open to trading (kek if that is even possible with these contracts) everyone except Casellanos, JD, Iglesias, Mccann, Fulmer, Norris, Rondon.
Pelfrey and Lowe still being on this team is like a slap to the face. I would still love to hear the reasoning for even signing Mike fucking Pelfrey in the first place. He has never been good in his career. Sad thing is Sanchez has actually been worse than him.
>>68947057
>One of 2 active pitchers that have lost 20 games to a single team

So, no.
>>68947136
Yeah I was about to say Cleveland has always been the team he never seemed to fare the greatest against and I am a Tigers fan.

Welp gg and series Indians. Your team is scary good and has a nice young core. Take the division from the KC shitters
Sarbaugh should have sent Nap home desu senpai
>>68947107
Oh right, forgot about Norris too.
Free agency is a difficult way to build a starting rotation. It's almost always better to develop it or trade for it.
There was some Tribe fans that wanted us to deal from our staff for a bat, which is laughable in retrospect.
>>68947419
I wouldn't be so quick to bail with Tomlin likely to give up another solo dinger and Shaw coming in later.

>>68948133
I wasn't listening but he's so corny lel
>>68948172
Hammy doesn't want to do all 9 anymore. He uses the break to eat and take a piss.
>>68948172
Rosie's pretty much an average play by play guy, but compared with Hammy it's such a drop off
At least he doesn't suck Salvador Perez's dick all the time though

Sorry guys but I'm fucking done. Call me fair weather if you want I don't give a flying fuck. This team shows no desire, no urge to win and just comes to collect a god damn paycheck.
Other than brad and a few of the players, fuck this whole team.

>0-9
>>68948465
I don't blame you, Tigers bro. Keep your head up.
>Justin Verlander's only given up four home runs in a game once in his career — to the Indians, of course — in Sept. 2007
>>68948522
Sorry but fuck this team.
He almost gave up a 5th
>>68948601
Verlander is out
>>68948072
>#Tigers have hit 97 HRs this year, above the league avg of 89.
>They've also allowed 87 after those 4 this inning —63 of those by the SPs
>>68948657
Seems like it would be more than 87 honestly
the best move the Tribe can make before the deadline is no move at all.
This team is good enough to win the division and we can take our chances after that.
>>68948847
Depends on what they know about Brantley. If he can come back healthy at some point I'm fine with no move.
>>68948847
Maybe a bullpen arm, but that's the only need I see, especially with Almonte and Smooth(?) coming back eventually
Minnesota has allowed 105 HR so far.
Cincy has given up 124. They are on a record pace, as far as I know. I'm sure some Philly team in the '30s gave up a shitload, so I don't know that the record is.
>Kyle Ryan promising to stay hot vs the hottest team in baseball

>JD Martinez on the DL
>Anibal Sanchez, Mike Pelfrey, Mark Lowe, Jordan Zimmermann
>Kate Upton will break up with Justin Verlander
Take me back to 5 years ago bros
>teams actually thinking they can challenge jobu's disciples
>>68948847
I'd still like to get a bullpen arm and explore a non-major bat that won't require us to give up our top 2 prospects.
>>68948847
pls no jay bruce
>>68949011
>>68949111
Agree.
>>68948940
The Tigers gave up 241 HR in 1996. That's gotta be the record.
Cincy is on pace to break that record.
>The #Indians haven't started 9-0 during a season vs a single team since 1996 (vs Red Sox)
>First time Indians have hit 4 HR in an inning since 7/16/04. Who hit 'em that day? Ben Broussard, Victor Martinez, Travis Hafner, Jody Gerut
Could've caught that one...
>>68949325
>Jody Gerut
>>68949415
Blast from the past, haha.

Underrated
>>68952453
The only thing that gets me is the constant detoilet and trash talk about the city. It's just trite and annoying after a while.
By all means though trash talk our team because they are fucking awful and deserve it.
>>68952453
Yeah, and that's the thing. Losing is a huge part of of Cleveland sports culture, and it's kind of weird seeing that turned on end and people reconsidering the whole thing lately. The Cavs winning almost caused a crisis of faith, like in a good way. I really hope we don't forget that kind of zen-like expectation to lose.
>>68952544
never cared for city trashing either. everyone seems to do it to anyone else's city and it's grown tiresome
>>68952544
Oh yeah, the "Detoilet" stuff I could do without. Didn't like the "Leaveland" nickname either. The two cities are way too similar to resort to that.
>>68952636
Completely agree with all of this, especially the last sentence. Appreciate how things stand right now but don't forget where you were.
>>68952544
The city is rough but Comarica had Progressive field beat by a long shot. Untill they put in all the new vendors and updated it I always preferred watching a game in Detroit.

>>68954203
I always root for Detroit as long as you aren't in the way of Cleveland. We both have a bad rap, but if either of us do better, we both prosper.
By the time I give up on the Browns each season, I secretly hope the Lions win it all. Just to prove that if they can do it, then the Browns can do it, too.
Looking forward to tomorrow. There's only room enough for one culturally insensitive team in this league.
