Last night DOES point out that part of our excellent record is due to the other worldly pitching of Hand.

Likely he won't be able to maintain that crazy level - who could?

Nice to see the bottom of the order come through again in this great pitching duel.

Particularly nice to see Plawecki be the one to drive in Greg Allen with a double. 2 hits so far for Allen.

A thought just hit me, I wonder if .... with Allen looking good, Naquin, Mercado does the team start more focusing on making getting a young pitcher back for a Bauer as the primary piece back instead of a hitter?

Make it 3 hits for Allen as he drives in a run in the top of the 9th.

Bieber set to try to finish this one.

Strikes out the last hitter as he finishes an amazing 1 hit, complete game shutout.

Who else got some Bieber Fever?!

TFIR, I’m not set on us having to get a corner OF’er, but I do want a good bat somewhere.

But it’s got to be one of the really good prospects. Urias, Brohm, etc. if not keep Bauer and keep making a run at a World Series next couple seasons. What’s wrong with that?

Not a thing.

makes sense but I would be surprised if they don't trade Bauer over the winter.

I would be surprised if Bauer is not traded.

LONG game. Goody got it.

Gonna go to 14.

Ramirez HR.

4-3 Top of 14

Bauers gets Kipnis home.....

5-3 Tribe

Naquin still out with "hamstring tightness" for that game. He and Chisenhall share the same trainer.

well, Chiz has played Zero games for the Pirates, whose deal with Lonnie may be worse than ours with Sslazar, who at least is apparently getting close.

Look - Plesac seems to be the real deal.

Which makes it all the more logical and imperative to move Bauer for multiple pieces.

another win, Clev looking fine, Ramirez homers again, Twins lose, 1 out.
