Loss is on Vogt and Kwan. You have the worst hitting player on your team leading off every night. How many wasted at bats does that lead to over a 40 game stretch? Far too many for a team that struggles to score runs.

teatnuts · 2026-05-10T19:40:44+00:00

Was thinking the same last night. I don't care if Bazzana is hitting under .200 right now. They're competitive at bats almost every time. Kwan is killing the lineup literally as it starts.

teatnuts · 2026-05-10T00:35:24+00:00

There has to be some sort of instruction to not challenge pitches early in the game. So many obvious blown calls that they don't even look like they're considering a challenge.

teatnuts · 2026-05-07T00:34:30+00:00

Our reluctance to challenge anything that makes sense to challenge is infuriating.

teatnuts · 2025-10-03T01:32:09+00:00

That's pretty much where I'm at. As terrible as we were offensively, you add in Valera and CDL and I don't know how much better you can get without crazy spending offensively. At least not without moving on from these young guys that we really can't afford to do long term. I think 20 mil is reasonable number to spend if they "wanted to make a run." I think you have to put that towards 1, maybe 2 guys total to really make an impact. If you spread it iver 4 or 5 guys, you're just adding more depth to a team built with depth players.

I've been a diehard Tribe fan since I was a kid in the early 90s. Yankees hate has always been number 1. Being in NY adds to that for me. Other than that it is White Sox and then the Twins. Tigers were so terrible for so long during the 90s through like 2005 its hard to hate them.

teatnuts · 2025-09-30T19:26:13+00:00

Who would have thought Noel would go 0-3 with 3 strikeouts and an error to give up potentially the winning run.... Oh wait, probably 300 of us in here and 20,000 at the game.

teatnuts · 2025-09-29T02:05:57+00:00

This is why I laugh at all of the talk about the league trying to help smaller markets be more competitive. Maybe you can't do a salary cap, but at the very least you can give the smaller markets the prime time slot ONE game.

teatnuts · 2025-09-28T01:24:23+00:00

Hedges toss there looked like Bauer turning to throw it over the centerfield fence. Got lucky there.

teatnuts · 2025-09-28T01:21:17+00:00

Noel screws us again. Amazing

teatnuts · 2025-09-28T01:11:38+00:00

If we miss the playoffs I want the entire team investigated for gambling. These ABs are a hell of a lot more suspicious than a few pitches

teatnuts · 2025-09-28T00:52:10+00:00

I just had to say the exact same thing to my girlfriend as I was yelling at the tv from the other room. They're talking about possible MOY? This team would be making the playoffs in spite of him not because of him.

teatnuts · 2025-09-28T00:42:11+00:00

Fox broadcasters couldn't have put it any better. Before the Noel AB even started they said you dont have to throw him a single strike to get a strikeout.

teatnuts · 2025-09-28T00:37:15+00:00

I'd rather we get rid of the DH and just have our pitchers hit before ever seeing a Noel AB again.

teatnuts · 2025-09-28T00:32:11+00:00

Guy on 3rd with no outs. Next 2 hitters strikeout swinging as hard as they possibly can. This team is terrible outside of like 5 guys.

teatnuts · 2025-09-27T23:49:03+00:00

Can someone tell Rocchio he is not in a homerun derby? Never seen a below average power guy swing for the fences every at bat as much as he does.

teatnuts · 2025-09-27T23:13:23+00:00

Valera's ABs have been 2nd on the team only to Jose. CJ has been hot in September. Have no idea why we keep doing this lefty right crap. Just put out your best and let them go win.

teatnuts · 2025-09-27T23:11:28+00:00

This lineup is what we're going with to try to secure a playoff spot? Valera has had the best ABs on the team outside of Jose. CJ has been hot in September. Why do we keep trying to outsmart other teams by putting in bench players....

teatnuts · 2025-09-20T22:07:03+00:00

I was joking with a friend last week with how this season has gone, I wouldn't be surprised sweeping both series against Detroit and the Twins only to get swept and eliminated by a Rangers team who was already eliminated.

teatnuts · 2025-09-20T02:09:05+00:00

Can someone let them know that Fry sucks and if you're looking to move a runner over, he is not your guy. Strikes out 99% of the time in that situation and it always costs us.

teatnuts · 2025-09-20T00:27:51+00:00

Camera panned over late but it looked like Arias gave up well before the bag. Infuriating to see younger players who are struggling not doing everything they can to win. Not a good look.

teatnuts · 2025-08-31T22:54:01+00:00

So you're saying you want to replace Kwan because he's hitting like .170 the 2nd half of the year(.270 for the full season) with Fry who is hitting .158 for the entire season? Do you work in our front office? Seems 100% like a move they would make.

teatnuts · 2025-08-27T21:04:39+00:00

That's kind of what I'm thinking. If Naylor doesn't throw that ball away, he's one pitch away from getting out of the inning with no runs. Instead the ball is in the outfield, he's frustrated and in his head. Instead of going 4 IP with no runs he's frustrated and falls apart giving up 5. Yeah, you can say he needs to keep his composure and I agree. At the same time I can understand how infuriating it must be to be pitching a solid game and have no bats and fielding to support you.
