Injuns desu, Bauer Outage pls
Bauer has his own winning streak going too, 9 in a row
>Implying pitcher wins matter
>>78281442
>>78281394
It's a term of endearment
>>78281442
>Bauer has his own winning streak going too, 9 in a row
Is he close to a record?
That ginger from the honda commercials needs to die in a fire
>>78281394
>not just admitting bautism is real
Time for Frankie!
>>78281486
Not really, just a fun Bauer fact
Lindor for mvp
>>78281220
goddamn Frankie is the best.
>>78281486
No. The longest win streak for a pitcher is 24 starts in a row..
I'll take it
>>78281613
same desu
Already got this shit boys
sac flies are underrated, seen too many runners left on 3rd with less than 2 outs
Hate the Indians so much.
fug
>losedians
Bauer, please do better.
Runs plss
Is Bauer the most punchable baseball player other than John Lackey?
>>78281816
hes a good looking guy desu
>>78281816
not even close.
>>78281864
Why does he still have all his baby teeth?

Bauer pls
>>78281962
He is not really steady today.
don't worry about Bauer. Salazar got clobbered and >we won. Winning is what this team does.
Question for euro anons. Do kids play baseball over there? Do the town parks have baseball fields?
>>78282015
They bowl a game of cricket
>>78282015
No and no.
Netherlands is good at baseball because of our colonial past. Dudes like gregorius and such.
Almost nobody here plays baseball. Most kids play football and field hockey here.
>>78282015
they play "get buggered by the bishop"
>>78282015
Nope, nearly every kid who plays sports wants to be a divegrass player. Closest kids get to playing baseball here is rounders in school, but even that's rare because cricket is the bat and ball game of choice.
>>78282061
Rounders.
There are some "town ball" and "rounders" clubs in big US cities. Nothing more strenuous than a softball beer league, but fun.
FUck yes
>>78282015
The only time I've seen a park with a baseball field in my life was in New York.
WINDIANS
AL MVP and it's not even close
That's a dinger
>>78282107
What about lindor
He cannot be stopped
MVP MVP MVP
Vargas shook
Can't stop won't stop!!!!
Roylels btfo like the simps they are
PROTIP: Jose leaves a half pint of rum in front of Jobu before every game
>>78282111
no anon that's a triple (checked)
>>78282120
Fugg that's right
>Tfw 2 MVP contenders on the same team
I would still give it to Babyface tbqh
>>78282124
>>78282148
>Netherlands
Explain yourself.
>>78282162
3 contenders.
Guess who leads the team in WAR?
Hint: it's a pitcher
>>78282124
You'd think after Bauer's drone incident, Tito would implement a no technology rule.
I caught foul
>>78282189
>Mfw
Stuck at work boys.
How's Bauer look? And what did J-Rams homer look like?
>>78282168
Netherlandsbro was in danger of kysing himself at 2 out, 2 strikes in the bottom of the 9th yesterday. Luckily he pulled through.
It's okay if the Tribe has MVP, CYA and MoY. As long as they have the WSMVP too
>>78282220
>mfw I ask this and instantly he gives up a Homerun
>>78282220
a little shaky to start but very little damage.
Now this is the Bauer I know and hate.
Bauer's autism is weak today. Terry should vaccine him up between innings.
>>78282300
Do you think he didn't get to listen to Aman today?
guys. I hate to interrupt, but I have some bad news.
Harry Dean Stanton died.
Get over to /tv/ and pay respects plz
Bauer pls
No more homers ok?

GAS BAUER BASE WAR NOW!

>yells nigger into glove
Tip top kek
>>78282548
Maybe Bauer has tourrettes and not autism?
Sure is arcade league in here
Does lindor ever not hit?
is it dollar dog night at the stadium?
>>78282618
only when they don't need him to.
he's like Baerga before he got fat and slow.
Crowd chanting MVP
>>78282622
Yes sir, sugardaleâ„¢ dollar dog day
>>78282653
For whom? Jose?
Is there a livestream of this anywhere?
>>78282622
If I remember correctly it's Sweetfield dollar dog night, or something like that.
>>78282622
No visiting royals fans still have to pay full admission for their wives

might as well be halfway around the world m8
tell you what, they win it all this year and the whole world will be in Cleveland for the celebration.
>>78282761
#openboardersforcleveland
Bauer can cuss all he wants now.
If the Indians shut down the Royals from here on would Bauer get the win?
Beautiful day in cleveland: 68 degrees with a light breeze. i bet it's raining in kansas shitty
>>78282743
we joe smith now
>>78282790
Yes
>>78282761
It would be nice to go home and visit my grandpas grave, haven't been there since his funeral 15 years ago.
>>78282681
Oh the ironing
>>78282806
at least your grandpa saw the Tribe win a WS in '48. Same here.
Bautera looks mildly on the spectrum
smith's throwing style makes my arm hurt desu
That curve was nasty
do the Royals have any shot at the WC?
>>78282831
>he can't throw with amazing command from the sidearm
What's it like to be a pleb, anon?
>>78282850
Nope, the Twins have it all but locked up.
>>78282852
Who /sidearm knuckleballer/ Master race here?
>>78282852
Quisenberry was the best command pitcher in history.
>losedians
>the revived corpse of LoCain
REEEEEEEEEE
Keep slurping his dick tribe announcers :)
Thanks for the help
>>78282790
rip Bauer's win
>>78282864
Haha, yeah bro remember when the losedians lost yester... wait
as a Mets fan, i really hope your defense doesn't cost you in the postseason windians. I'm pulling for ya
>.375 since July
is that good?
They're just getting read for another crazy win, r..right guys?
>>78282884
Even if we lose, we still have dubs.
>>78282880
Thx bud
>>78282893
Considering league average is about .270 and .300 is like baseline for good, yeah
Indians need to get some losses now, get them out of their system before October.
>>78282899
who am I to argue with dubs?
Which NL team will be 4-1'd in the Eries to match the Royals revenge performance in 2015?
>>78282930
sneks
>>78282913
Take care of Bruce. He was my favorite Met for the brief stint we had him
>>78282930
gotta be the Doyers.
fur the memes!
>>78282932
Sneks won't even win their wildcard game m8
Second last digit Royals final runs
Last digit Indians final runs
>>78282932
could be. they have the pitching
The look on Yost's face was priceless. The most confident bullpen manager in the league .
>indians lose tonight
>still have as many wins in September as there have been days
>mfw
>>78282968
you got it
>>78282968
Indians win it!!!
>>77777777
>>78282968
>6 more runs with these elite bullpens
I don't see it.
>>78282968
>>78282992
this meme isn't funny anymore. Fuck off
>>78283006
>>78283006
>>78283006
>the virgin melktoast vs the CHAD locain
Bruce should have slayed that
>>78283067
His batteries are dead after last night.
>23 games ago was 10 years ago
Tribe announcers already know the game is over. You can feel the air slowly leaving the park. Someone take a pic of it in the 8th actually, wouldn't be surprised if its half deserted.
more defensive mistakes. lol
>>78283121
They were losing yesterday and fans didn't go anywhere.
Fuck what a turn
>>78283149
Different circumstances. 22 broke the streak, 23 isn't symbolic or relevant in any way.
>>78283137
and also some great defence too
this game is annoying
7th inning stretch guys. Everyone do some pushups
>chiefs end wentz's career
>royals end the streak
Good weekend for me
i'll give cahill's line one batter at most
they're just gonna be stranded shut the fuck up
Royals > Indians
>>78283222
>222
Lets go KC!
>>78283234
Don't you have a season to throw away?
progressive field - best weather, most ergoomic design, great music, best crowd,
fuck the royals
especially that kid, you know the one
>roylels
fuk lads, that was our inning
Can someone explain to me how they made that double play but not the one last night?
Man, y'all caught so many breaks that inning. Should be 5-4 by now
Can't wait to see the record broken
Ramirez Edwin Bruce in the 8th. I'm still comfy.
>>78283335
Go fuck a rake faggot
>GIDP
>>78283335
Scratch that Ramirez Edwin Santana
>>78283322
>see the record broken
>22
What did kek mean by this, Are we going to 23?
>>78283250
>season
What you mean like cumin?
Cause i cumin your mom like every night
Post yfw the royals all die in a plane crash on their way home after the series.
Why are you making this thread so uncomfy all of a sudden?
>>78283352
>>78283335
>>78283344
true, there is hope yet
Dodgers are on - why watch this shitfest lol
>>78283385
Perhaps he's wondering why would you watch the Dodger's?
>tie in the 9th
>walk off in the 10th
Are the Tribesmen harnessing meme magic?
As a Dodgers fan just briefly tuning into this to see our October opponents in 'prime' form
Last 2 digits are the number of innings we will have
The big take away from this game is that Bauer should not be allowed to pitch past the fifth inning, and in most cases, not past the fourth.
>>78283436
11 straight loses vs 22 straight wins.... Gee wizz who could possibly win?
Oh well, sorry to jinx your streak Indians by watching your game. I tuned in just long enough to see the Royals go ahead...again, sorry.
>>78283470
>22 straight wins
>against the arcade league
>still have a shittier record
>>78283482
Heh happened to me too. Happens to a lot of fucking games I watch, desu
lmaoing @ this obsession right now
Indians will walk off. Check em
BOTTOM 9TH LETS GO TRIBE
Ready to become losedians
LAST FUCKING CHANCE
Really annoyed this game isn't on TV over here. At least they showed 22.
It's rally time, give them your energy.

>>78283706
Yep lindo jobbed
well I guess the Giants season could have been worse right giants bros?
Had to end sometime, oh well. Gg
now we can focus on what really matters.
>>78281299
That easy folks
>>78283721
it was. outside of that streak, the 1916 Giants finished 86-66, 4 games out.
I knew whenever this streak ended it would happen on a Drone Boy start.
>>78283745
immortality though.
I was refering to this Giants season has been a dumpster fire but at least a record stayed
>cooling down just in time to heat up for the postseason
>>78283802
Calculated
>Streak ends at 22 games.
>On the East Coast, the game ended at 22:22.
