>>69577578
SP: Trevor Bauer, RHP (7-3, 3.30 ERA, 8.11 K/9, 3.12 BB/9)

Go Tribe
>>69577578
Yanimal sitting tonight but still thank you based Jobu for this blessing.
>>69577660
Huh didn't even see that. Gives Jobu time to work his magic, I like it.
Off to a good start!
Meanwhile, KC is on top of Detroit 4-1 and threatening in the second. White Sox play the Angels at 9.
Come on Nap
The Indians made actually made a sacrifice to Jobu for Gomes. Now watch the hits roll in.
>>69577678
Gimenez catches Bauer to help settle down his autism.
Just got back in time Carlos lel
>bases loaded
>still no hit
it's a score but okay
Wooo scored first
Based Napoleon
>>69577708
I like how Gomes looked like he was having a good time, he knows they're not really making fun of him. Even when they sucked last year they have that great team chemistry and it seems to be only better this year.
>>69577729
yeah for some reason it didn't cross my mind
We'll take it!
>>69577747
Yeah I've never seen a team have so much in the middle of the season

Also, Texas loss today, meaning a win today would put the Tribe at exactly .600 and increase their lead in the AL top spot
So who goes to the bullpen in the postseason?
@Indians bringing the memes
>>69577802
Would it be crazy to put Kluber in the bullpen?
>>69577802
Tomlin
>>69577844
Uh, yeah.
KIP!!! But nothing came of it so I forgive you.
Time for dingers
good SDI friend
>>69577844
only if it doesn't work.
I would put Tomlin in and vow never to use Shaw.
>Working the count
Yes, thank you.
Are there any Twins fans left on /sp/?
not a good inning
Anyone have a stream?
I'm struggling.
R.I.P. Big Nate Thurmond
>>69577916
>only if it doesn't work.
This is what I'm thinking though. Imagine game one, Salazar starting, he goes 5-6 frames gives up 0-2 runs, no fatigue, and then here's Klubot going the rest of the way.
>>69577996
It's been done plenty of time with some great pitchers. Lefty Grove did it. It works if you pull your starter before the game is out of hand.
Bauer-kun's got this!
My fear is Tito goes "by the book" like Grover did and Shaw blows a game or two.
Fuck the book. Go with what works. Managers are so afraid of getting fired but like Whitey said, if he loses they're gonna fire his ass anyway. Whitey learned from Casey Stengel, who was never afraid to take a chance.
Jesus, I can still hear Grover defending his use of Mesa.
>>69577996
Are you expecting us to be in the Wild Card game? Cause otherwise this idea is retarded. Sorry.
>>69577916
>>69578070
Shaw is our 2nd most dependable reliever. You really need to forget about the 1-2 weeks early in the season he was shit and look at what he's done since then.
I hate first pitch swingers
>>69578156
Well, it did work wonders last year with Lead-Off Edition Kip.
no walks!
It begins
BAUER
COME ONE BAUER \o/
Thank you based Jobu, you can do it Bauer
Got the K, now let's get the DP
terrible SDI
Fugg
Alright, just hold it to the 1 pls
>all these balls
Seems like command is an endemic issue with the rotation since July started
He did it, the mad man!
>Napolion
>Babyface
>Hits-em-all
Great opportunity to get at least the run back
>held it to just the 1 run
Huge improvement from past seasons for Bauer tbqh. Usually he'd meltdown when he got in trouble.
>>69578336
Agreed.
Shit senpaitachi
It's alright because Bauer is going to keep the game at 1-1
Why do Injuns always have trouble with the Twins?
>>69578415
They're a decent offensive team that hits it hard. What I don't get though is why we struggle so much against their starters.
The Tribe will pull this one out. I have faith.
Nice tag!
Walk Nunez?
Whew lad
Nice!
wew
He got out of it again the absolute madman

Thank you based Slamtana!
Slaptana!

OKAY YOU BUMS GET ANOTHER IN

Franky struggling in the clutch lately, left 4 on base so far
That looked like a high strike desu
>>69578556
>>69578569
Who's this saucy 2d tart?
Great running catch Babyface

Nice Bauer
>>69578614
Yuiko Enomoto, or just Eno for short
freakin Lonnie swinging at the first pitch and screwing it up
Juan step too slow
>>69578745
>Bauer went to a Disturbed concert over the All Star break
Not surprising at all.
so how long does a chicken sacrifice last?
is it good for like two weeks of winning or what?
could've really used that run Lonnie
Trevor pls
Whew
insurance pls
nice Naquin. now drive him in pls
Baequin
shoot
Pls no injury
KIP
I
P

>T___s
Frankie got another chance lel
did Nap kill someone
napoli killed in the name of alah
>>69579045
I think so :(
he's brain damaged for life, but he can walk!
Game on!
>A young boy was just hit by a line drive at the Twins game and the entire game has stopped.
He's awake though and getting carted off.
Fan partied too hard at Napoli's.
Welp
is s/he kill?
>>69579074
a kid who lives up the street from me got brain damaged by a fly ball at a minor league game.
I guess in fairness, the kid was kind of a dipshit to start with, and I don't really notice any difference, though.
>>69579116
No.
>Bauer still out
Is Tito asleep?
IIIIIIT'S SHAQ TIME
YAMEROOOOOOOOO
>>69579158
>110+ pitches and then walked Mauer
Yep.

Looks like it's Mansihp

Hey...uh....remember how our bullpen really isn't reliable in close games?
Yeah fuck you too Mansip

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
>gameday frozen
Aw shit
Goddammit
>>69579256
To be fair Santana should've made that play
Jesus could we just please get some reliable relievers?
>>69579226
I like how the only thing people are talking about is getting bigger bats before the trade deadline.
How about getting some decent fucking bullpen guys? Our starting pitching is great, but the bullpen is a constant letdown.
>when you wish it was a Shaq episode
>>69579305
I wouldn't say CONSTANT, but lately yeah there's been some screwing of the pooch
Just walk Vargas pls
1 more out pls
>>69579350
Went better than expected
Why don't they trust the inside pitch? Down and in the zone?

now just score, okay
Response run(s) pls
OTERO IS ELITE
KILL MANSIHP
>>69579438
What about Santana's error?
>>69579305
Where are you getting your info at? All trade rumors I've seen for the Tribe is idiots creaming themselves over Chimpman/Miller, with a bit about Lucroy and some literal who reliever for no reason or Jay Bruce and his African country GDP contract
>>69579460
DESERVES A SPANKING but just one since he got a run and 2 rbi on 3 hits
I'll take it
>>69579472

lmao nope
The basket catch wasn't needed either. Rude tbqh.
The least Santana can do is score after fucking us
Just got home, been a good one? Where's Raja?
>>69579706
Why is he not hitting any dingers in this park?
We extra innings hopefully
On the bright side, Detroit lost
>>69579738
But KC won anyway, win/lose series for us
>>69579749
KC is fourth/third (not sure which now), it's better for them to win than for Detroit to win, that way distance is maintained or increased from second place.

>Shaw still in
Another game that should've been a sure win.
>>69579762
Yeah but it's good Shaw.
>>69579762
He got through last inning on 8 pitches so it's understandable.
1 more out pls before a possible rain delay

there's the Shaw we know
WALK VARGAS
Almost had a heart attack. Whew.
>>69579801
Whew nevermind
Don't abandon us Jobu
Lindor needs to make up for ass sucking today
last two digits of this post is the number of innings this game goes.
4-4 vs. 3-4 in extras
Lindor really needs to lay off the first pitch
again first pitch swinging someone pull him aside and scold him
>>69579837
>37
THANK YOU BASED NAP
Lindor hitting .273 on the first pitch, but .375 on 1-0 and .350 on 0-1
no DP pls
>>69579886
He's got to let the first one go. Take note of JRAM, Franky
Rajai pls
Welp
Well....caving in the ss' sternum is just as good as a run in my book.
inb4 19 innings
What happened?
it's a /struggle against the worst team in the league/ episode
I've got work to do, but hopefully they don't fuck this up. See y'all tomorrow probably
>>69579939
always before a day game.
>>69579940
Double play, ball hit high off the Twins shortstop's chest
maybe it'll end in a tie if it rains too much!
>>69579977
If it goes late enough cause of innings or rain they'll just continue it tomorrow.
>>69580017
they have a 2PM start tomorrow.
>Almonte
Is it possible for him to reverse-walkoff for the Twins? He is so fucking awfyl
>>69580041
True.
And now the tarp is coming out...
damn it's gonna be a long night
welp, tarp is coming on.
Imma go jack off and go to bed.

yes 2 pitches, make him work

Can we just take an auto out in his batting spot and leave the gaping hole at his position? We'll get better production than we will having him in
That infield looks like shit
Joe pls
>>69581336
Joetolo pls
I would kill to be at a game like that with no one there. It looks so comfy and such a good shot at getting a ball
>>69581343
Bart's son pls
well that didn't take long
Fuck. Can we tightrope again?
>extra infielder
wow Gomes guess they have to get the demons out of your glove now too
Shit, Sorry boys.
I fucking hate Minnesota. They don't even have fans to enjoy it, why the fuck did they deserve to win
Waited through the delay and Colon cucked us.
At least the Tigers lost...

desu I completely forgot the Twins existed before I saw this thread.

Yep, it would've been a tough play with that slow roller but any of the infielders would've made a better throw.
>>69581416
>>69581434
Oh wait, you said for the DP. Goddamn did Colon fuck that up.
>>69581420
I did too and I'm from MN
