If the Indians could get some consistent offense going they would be unstoppable.
Nice Klübë
Dead as fuck offense yet again. QUALITY AT BATS
>>77619325
I feel like Bruce Ción Ramírez will be pretty effective. When Lonnie comes back if he's not damaged the middle of the order will be yuge
Slamtana's not getting that contract
>the fading eyesight of Yan Gomes
>>77619395
he'll finish his career in Detroit for way too much money
He was the key to all this. His baserunning shenanigans rattled pitchers and made all the other bats look better.
>>77619455
I forgot to post the picture of who I was talking about. It's too late now so you all have to guess.
who will get the meme hit off Klubot, and what inning?
my money's on Brad Miller with a double in the 6th
>>77619436
>internally sabotages the tiggers while getting pizza money
>has his number retired at the Jake and signs one-day contract, officially retired as an Injun like Thome
Based Oso
>Kluber 1.1 innings in without a K and 2 BB
DFA
>>77619455
José Conseco?
>>77619488
Young Oso hits me right in the feels
>>77619493
>ends K streak at the Trop of all places
Had to happen though
>>77619455
Kenny Lofton
>>77619511
we all know that feel
>>77619472
sooner than expected
>>77619536
Or Rajai?
>>77619511
>Young Oso was 30 years ago
Remember: you're here forever.
You now remember when Carlos Santana debuted as an Indian 40 years ago
>>77619578
>It's been 50 years since Axeman's first AB
One down, nine to go
>>77619588
>tfw when Carlos Santana won the World Series with the Tribe in 1948
good feel
>>77619589
Kluber
Yeah, looks better when it's more than one K.
WORK THE FUCKING COUNT REEEEEEEE
>>77619578
My dad remembers when he was at Vero in the Doyers org in 1957
>>77619623
>the Casey Blake trade was 60 years ago
>>77619598
He was instrumental. Turned that unassisted quadruple play, I think the only one in history?
Eddie Robinson is 96. Let's get him another WS victory.
>combined no hitter
oh boy
>>77619646
Correct that it was 'Los but it was during the 1920 World Series.
>>77619682
yep, we picked him up in the Joe Jackson trade.
>>77619682
Oh that's right, Los had the three inside the park grand slams in 48
>>77619682
>won a world series 27 years before integration
Is there nothing he can't do?
>>77619711
the ban didn't apply to Latin players if they were light enough. Remember, he was a lot lighter back then.
>>77619711
>Is there nothing he can't do?
Not get a walk.
>>77619711
After throwing a perfecto and hitting the 12 dongs against team Nazi Germany in the Moon Baseball Classic...
>mfw rays throw a perfect game today, under 80 pitches
>Gio didn't make another webgem play
The fuck?
>>77619838
DFA now
Mejía
Bradley
Ramírez
Lindor
Urshela
That future infield
>>77619949
>mfw gio learns to hit
>>77620005
He will, but not with Van Burkleo around apparently
BRUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCE
BRUUUUUCE
Post you rare Bruuuuuuuces
LOOOOOOS
BIG MONEY BEARMAN
>>77620075
Add $500k to the contract
Trade Gomes now
>mfw we got the run(s)
>>77620166
Please don't let it be the only runs in the game

>>77619949
Don't forget the OF
Zimmer
Naquin
Benson
Or the rotation:
Kluber
Clevinger
Salazar
Merritt
Aiken/McKenzie
>>77620281
>Aiken
Color me suspicious
Cookie's under contract through next year, and has two team options for $9M after that
>>77620315
I don't see them keeping him until he is 34. I think if he shows any decline in the next couple years, he is gone. Bauer is too inconsistent to keep around. Aiken and McKenzie are slated to be called into action between late 2018-mid 2019. That creates a logjam, especially if one of them starts to break out, they'll wee on the side of youth.
>>77620357
*err
Not sure why it changed to "wee"
>>77620281
What about Chen?
KKKKKluber
halfway there
>>77620427
He doesn't even play anymore. Some sort of international player relations guy for the Tribe now.
Rosy is killing me right now
>>77620454
KKKKKKKluber
7 and counting
>>77620505
Explain
>>77619189
What are the asterisks?
>>77620534
So boring. But it's okay now. Hammy is back.
>>77620555
oh gotcha. I like Rosey but when you follow based Ham...
runsupport.exe has stopped working.
>that disgusting astroturf
Another game with all runs in one inning please stop doing this
>>77620281
>no Greg Allen
According to Hammy:
>Kipnis could have played today but Francona didn't want to put him on AstroTurf
>Chisenhall is DH in his rehab
>Miller may be ready but they're giving him more time just in case
>>77620608
>the city of (you)

>Hammy BTFO Tropicana Field
Kek
>>77620718
What did he say?
>>77620729
"This venue...they played a Final Four here. As a matter of fact, it was when the Ohio State Buckeyes were in it. Remember Jon Diebler? Well the NCAA had it here once and they said 'never again'. Tropicana field is the worst sports venue in the world right now."
KKKKKKKKluber
>>77620763
Yeah but o.co
>Steve Cishet
>>77620914
I understand, but I guess I didn't know Tropicana was that bad.
>>77620893
>With that last strikeout, Kluber has struck out at least eight batters in 14 straight games. He is the 3rd pitcher in MLB history to do so.
Come the fuck on Kluber
Welp
"If they would take all the music, and sound effects they try to pump through this building...there would be hundreds of churches across America would have more energy than this place. Sometimes its like playing in a mausoleum."
BASED HAMMY
Also, GODDAMN I ONLY HIT RIGHT HANDERS SOUZA FAGGOT
That disgusting helmet
The Rays are the Oreos of this season. Just rely on the long ball and mediocre pitching to win games.
>Kluber intentionally giving up the HR, telling his offense to step the fuck up and win a game
He's playing 6 dimensional Chinese checkers
Klublot is running low on fuel
Please re-fuel it by adding more runs of support
>>77620962
Weren't the other 2 the Big Unit?
>>77621074
Maybe?????
Please Zimmazam

>>77621542
Tito's bro-circle
Santana did try that nice little move to be fair
BRUUUUUUUCE
BRUUUUUUUUCCCEEEE
Nice catch Jay
>>77621560
Time to take the trash out desu
>>77621630
No arguments here. Shit, why do you think he kept bringing Michael Martinez back??
>>77621650
MM doesn't "come back", he never really leaves
Are there any Rays fans in here??
>>77621692
>much utility players
>>77621697
>here
No
BWUUUUUUUCE save this team pls
>>77621697
Tampa Bay Steve tried shitposting earlier in the year but he gave up
I'd love to see that from a different angle actually, I think Santana might have been safe
>>77621716
He's literally playing in Indians minor league right now.
If Indians are in the postseason he WILL be on the roster
>>77621764
I get MiLB notifications and he's actually been driving in some runs
>>77621757
No, caught his thigh, but it was close
>>77621764
I know, they'll bring him up just in time for the 25 man playoff deadline just so he can be there. I was surprised that Tito didn't force a sea for Brock Holt at the TD.
If you listen to the radio broadcast, you can hear the stat girl feeding info to Hammy.

Helmet count: 26
That Morris commercial is always really weird to see. Klubot smiles
>>77621983
Everything about it is awkward and hilarious.

Hammy again:
"Tampa Bay...has the biggest catchers in the Major Leagues. They're not tall, just stout. They're built like offensive linemen."
>>77621969
Not enough
>>77622081
Lol does Hammy hate TB?
>>77622107
No, he says stuff like this all the time. He does hate the "Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim" thing though. He went on a 15 minute tirade about how Anaheim is 3 hours away and it's just a marketing thing and from now on he's just calling them the Anaheim Angels "because that's where we are".
Gomes needs to just fuck off
Good Shaw pls
