>>75282136
I almost thought about putting showalter lower just because he didn't use Britton in a 1 game playoff series, so maybe I need to tweak it. Meh
If this post ends in 0-4 Victor grounds into the shift
if it ends 5-9 Victor grounds into the shift
Victor is sooooo gooooood
Chief wahoo is easily the best logo in baseball. Please never get rid of it Cleveland.
>>75282316
It is inevitable. Won't stop fans wearing him to the games though.
>>75282316
is that a moustache or the misplaced outline of its mouth?
>>75282375
Bottom of the cheeks I think
>>75282350
rip. Keep the fight up though and never conform to that C. Not that it looks awful, but it is no Chief Wahoo.
How is Collins elite now wtf
AVILA IS ELITE TOO WTF
cookie pls
What is that? The sound of furious fapping by NoHS.
Oof
So our team is Kinsler, Romine, McCann, Avila, young pitchers and a bunch of overpaid has-beens.

We absolutely crushed Toronto on that David Price trade.
>>75282653

>>75282680
and I originally thought we got rekt on the Gose/Travis trade, but they both suck now and Brad's brain will find a way to make Gose a serviceable relief pitcher kek
>tfw the T___s are going to sweep >us
>>75282751
They actually aren't that terrible this year. Kepler and Sano have turned into good players. Buxton is still a bust though lel
>>75282653
it was beyond dumb of them to make the trade, Price is good for about 3 or 4 innings then collapses in the 5th every single goddamn game
getting 2 starters out of it is highway robbery
>>75282806
Buxton is just straight awful lol

I'm like the only person that likes Block C but a Wahoo is fine too
to that guy that always shits on iglesias
APOLOGIZE
>>75282934
The C doesn't look bad, but like you said, it is no Chief Wahoo.
>>75282912
it's a move that makes sense though, let him get the min 60ish days in minor leagues and avoid the weird arbitration thus saving money. and, it allows him to still hone his pitches especially his slider which needs some work

Tell me one good reason why 1) V-Mart should even be playing and 2) he should be batting 4th
hard mode: no muh righty-lefty-righty
>>75283155
Lol, we are stuck with him for another year after this one at the low low price of $18 million per
>>75283155
nice dubs, but even they can't make anyone take VMart
>>75283208
Are there bigger jews than sports agents? It is unbelievable.
>gomes
>>75283239
i am positive there is a playoff bound team who could use him as a DH
he's useless at this point though and should be moved in the lineup
>>75283136
Reminder that Verlander striking out any indian is like winning the world series for tiggs fans
>>75283271
how many championships have you guys won in the past 60 years again?
>>75283269
You know, at first I would say you are nuts, but we somehow managed to offload that fat fuck fielder and we only had to pay like half of the salary, or whatever.
Except now, we have fucking Avila in charge so yeah that won't happen.

He seems likes a good lad. I will root for him to get it going against the Twins.
What the fuck is Edlose's problem?
if boyd continues to develop the rotation is going to be really young and pretty damn good
>Edwin
Sure are getting our money's worth.
>>75283454
Only Zimmermann sucks at this point it seems.

Thankfully the tiggs showed them how many championships they won last year

>Verlan9ER
Edwin making his best postseason Napoli impression
>>75283519
oh yeah i forgot about him in the rotation
yeah he sucks for some reason, i'm just convinced at this point anyone decent at pitching who comes here sucks shit immediately. see: zimm, soria, benoit (kinda), nathan
>>75283563
Yeah but he always sucks against Cleveland. He is Cy young tier against everyone else.
>>75283572
Add Washburn to the list.
Although it seemed like Fister got better and Scherzer turned into a god.

Basically inevitable against our garbage bullpen.

the only number 3 he's gonna get is out number 3
gidp incoming dubs confirm

If you play 1B on road to the show you see the weirdest bunts, I once saw David Ortiz try to drag bunt with 2 outs.

spics are taught to dive and lie, it is from their soccer lessons growing up
Although, Jeter was the king cunt at the plate.
>>75284968
>implying he doesn't
>>75284981
so far this year i have a closer pitcher who's been reduced to bullpen duty and a LF who got called up then asked to pinch hit for 2 years before asking to get traded to the rockies
overall it's been a fun ride, it's always a good time

hahaha holy fuck, just needs to add some chew and he'll have two bumps
can you guys just hit our closers from now on every time they start pitching
>gomes
inning over
Brad should honestly just let Wilson pitch the rest of the game.
>tfw it won't happen
>it'll never happen
This team might be .700+ without the black hole of Gomes in the lineup.
>>75285385
he's gotta pitch the next three days dude
Happy Easter
There it is Cleveland fans, the reason we all were sick of Jackson in detroit.
The dude never lays out for balls. He is a pussy.
Is there any reason not to PH your catcher for your backup catcher? Keep in mind we're talking about Gomes and Perez
i actually have no idea what brad is going to do with the bullpen since i'd imagine he does not ever want to use sanchez again, and that leaves like no room for people to rest between days
>>75285437
cute
that was quick
>>75285437
Do you have the express written consent of the Cleveland Indians to be posting this image?
Oh it's a bad shaw episode, I was deceived
>pitching to Cabrera with a base open
>>75285462
No, he just doesn't want a ball to get behind him.
I remember one of the losers who replaced him, I wanna say Carrera, dove for a ball in the 9th inning. Got behind him, went for a 2-run scoring double, Tigers lost the lead and wound up losing the game.
>>75285513
i guess that's one of the reasons why he hits where he does
although i would probably take the increaased chance of a DP over a vmart single
>>75285521
Wow, this one time a dive didn't work so it'll excuse the countless times Jackson could have actually prevented base hits :^)
I need the Kornheiser Miggy pic
Lol miggod
LETS GET THAT DAT DERE GOLDEN HAT JUP
NO excuses, Indians had their chances.
Glad Cookie had a good game, only made one (two, I guess) mistakes.
>first series loss to Tigers since 2015
Weird
>>75285545
lmao because every single time he didn't dive for a ball, he absolutely would've caught it if he did.
>>75285562
>he thinks this game is over
lmaoing at you
Jesus Shaq
>>75283262
>>75285562
>two zmac posts in one thread
that kinda game
Ahhhhhhhhhh
If the Twins are actually good this year does this mean the Indians will play well, or does it mean they'll get even more bootyblasted?
>>75285587
You'll never catch them if you don't try, which he never does. I'm not saying dive at every ball, but if you think that ball this inning wasn't one of them, you're retarded.
How does his semen taste?
>>75285622
with those digits, I don't know
should have just fucking swung for the fences like you usually do
>Miggy injured
NO?
>>75285634
Whatever, dude. Jackson was an extremely good, extremely smart CF during his time in Detroit and calling him a pussy or implying we were all sick of him just 'cause he didn't dive is really shitty.
>>75285622
>yfw they sweep the indians on every single series
>>75285612
Brace for the real thing
>>75285634
i am going to assume someone who's been in the years longer than you've been alive probably knows when to dive and when not to
>>75285668
>668
Avoiding Satan trips, good season series against Twins confirmed
Reminder that the tigers are spending $52 million between Anibal Sanchez, VMart and Zimmermann.
Good ZMac pls
>>75285718
sanchez is worth every penny
also, thank you mccallishit
>>75285692
So why does he never do it when others do? I'll wait.
>>75285724
Nope.
GG Tigers
>Lindians
>>75285718
Anibal was a hell of a deal at the time, who knew he'd fall off a cliff so quickly.
V-Mart, I think we all kinda knew the last year of that deal wouldn't be great.
Zimmerman...I dunno.
>McAllister
who the fuck is he pitching to?
>>75285692
>the classic lol you didn't play in the majors so you can never criticize someone
hey uh indians, you guys want rondon? sanchez? they're REALLY good
SCORE SOME RUNS AND WIN THIS GAME YOU FUCKING BUMS
>>75285612
deserves another one
>>75284787
>>75285846
He is a great player, but god damn is he ugly as fuck.
>>75285863
? Not really but alright
>>75285863
He's beautiful on the inside and that's what really matters
is it possible to throw a curve or changeup with a release like justin wilson's, are you pretty much just throwing sinker/fb/cutter
>>75285907
yup
>>75285900
I mean Cabrera is ugly as shit too. Doesn't matter, you don't have to defend it.
>>75285939
Maybe I just don't spend a lot of time thinking about whether a lad is hot or not
>It's the bottom of the ninth in hell, you need to make up a one run deficit, and every batter you have is Gomes.
>>75285985
Gomes vs. Rondon
who wins
SCORE SOME FUCKING RUNS
>>75286002
I would pay to watch that.
Just setting up for the walkoff grand salami
JWilson should be the closer.
The Wilsons are the only good arms we have in the pen.
>>75286047

until jimenez gets called up, we'd have to replace him with sanchez
and no one wants that
i will never fucking understand how avila gets on base so often
>>75286078
You just fucking know that at a minimum he is making this a 4-3 game.
>Chris McCosky @cmccosky 38s
>Alex Avila has reached base in eight of his last nine plate appearances.
>>75286202
He always takes good ABs. Always. My love for him isn't just a meme.
>romine
hahahahaha what in the FUCK
>>75286202
pitchers are afraid of him
Man, Ausmus sucks.
Like, he's just really bad at just about every facet of his job.
Reminder that Justin Wilson should finish this game
>>75286277
Those cerebral dubs
mfw the native americans win on a grand slam
>>75286277
Wow really made me think.
>>75286277
Says the guy that claims Austin Jackson was an "extremely good" outfielder.
>>75286402
hahahaha damn so mad
makes me happy to see kids like that get happy about sports
>>75286415
wew lad got me.
>Chiz on deck
>>75286402
Bruh you gonna try and tell me that overmanaging mess of an inning was good?
>>75286536
Tell me who his replacement is so I can laugh at you.
gg and fun series Cleveland.
See ya in a few weeks
>>75286078
eh i was like half right, that has to count for something right?
ggs indians fun series
>>75286570
My left shoe would be a better manager than Ausmus.
>>75286617
hahahaha cx
>Haven't lost a series yet.
Huh.
Nice.
>>75286570
I don't have a replacement. I don't need to have a replacement in mind to say that Ausmus overmanaged the fuck out of that inning and that his bullpen management sucks a dick.
>>75286657
Tell me how you would manage it.
>>75286657
Of course you don't
>>75286682
Have the dudes stand on the fucking bags and hit normal like.
>>75286710
Amazing stuff. How about the bullpen Nostradamus?
GG Tigers
let's get this shit GOING Injuns, underachievers
>>75286753
That's a beastly mustache.
>>75286752
>Amazing stuff.
No it's not. That's the fucking point. He started doing shit like bunts and steals for no reason when he could've just let them hit. That's what "overmanaging" is.
>>75286804
>still hasn't answered the bullpen question
lol
gg tigers
We have to fix this 2015 injuns shit
have to love armchair managers
>these faggots bitching when their team is 8-4
>>75286911
>closer has 6 ERA
gee i wonder why they'd be nervous
>>75286831
The bullpen right now is what it is, there just aren't many good arms. In the past, he did shit like sticking with Nathan as the closer when he had Soria (who was still good at the time) and not getting Anibal stretched out in time for the postseason and it very tangibly screwed them over.
>>75286911
I'm very pleasantly surprised with how they're doing. I apparently pissed off Ausmus' brother or something here, though.
