Unusual long leash by Tito, Zach stays in to yield an RBI hit to Howie Kendrick. Back to a 4-run deficit. Still none out.
Zach has secured his lack of future with Cleveland by his consistent lack of success this year.
Has some talent and could find a home as a mediocre veteran a la Guthrie, or may become a career AAAA guy more like David Huff. But it won't be here.

Success? A dp produces the 8th Angel run.

Crockett ends the 7th. Tito sends up the white flag in the 8th, Austin Adams enters the fray with his 14.54 ERA.

Price is not right! 12-3 now on two more homers.

Tigers playing KC now. I guess we should root for Detroit, since KC is ahead of them in the division, and we are closer to the Tigers?

And the great Bryan Price finishes it off with two ninth inning homers. HIs ERA 20.25. It looks he will be an expendable member of the 40 man roster this winter.

For that matter, Price is really kind of a joke and I would prefer to jettison him right now even if we don't replace him. HIP 3.38. More homers than innings pitched.

C'mon guys! SCORE!!!

I thought we were supposed to beat teams like the Twins.
They can't afford to continue like this. Another small army left on base.

Averaging 3 runs a game for the last nine games.

Lost to a pitcher with an ERA over 9.

Rain out tonight - Wednesday.

Tribe up 7-1 in the 4th.

I wish they could now pull Kluber out and put him back out in the second game.

The distinguished Tribe corner outfielders have not participated in the offensive attack, which is not surprising since Brantley is not out there this game. Shuck appears to be as useless as the rest of the stable, hitless for the Tribe so far [only 8 AB]. Holt now 5 for his last 29, one of those hits a double, add in two walks, to produce a spiffy OPS of .433.

8-1 into the 9th. Since the first, Kluber's pitched 7 shutout innings, 3 singles, no walks.

Aviles out in the field for the first time since his semi-concussion. Chris Giminez at 1st base, for his appearance in a game since he was re-acquired, Sellers took over at 3rd last inning. Walters get a try at 2nd base. Let's hope no hits it to the right side of the infield.
