Gonzalez has come up twice with bases loaded and struck out both times to end the threat.

Genius move batting him 2nd tonight, Tito.

I can't think of one button he's pushed this year that's went right. Last year everything he tried worked.

I don't think of the #2 batter as someone who will bat with bases loaded, though, do you?

Thanks guys for posting the strut links!

Well, he settled down after I posted that, but we couldn't score any runs for him.

Zimmer is hitting lefties better than Gonzalez and he gets platooned for Robertson who was 0-24 coming into tonight.

Why not leave top two guys alone and play Zimmer and bat him 3rd for one night. Better plan that Robertson and Gonzalez batting 2nd.

Not in the 1st inning.

Well, the Indians have all of 2 hits tonight. I don't see how you can blame Tito for that?

When did "walk-up songs" begin? Do they really add anything to the game, except more length?

2 outs, down by five, and now a PH??

Off night or night off?

Off night ... and a AAA lineup...

Lindor and Santana still slumping too so that doesn't help.

Ramirez was given night off, he was worn out. Well deserved. Brantley still out. Need to get him back in there.

Francona said today "I should've played him" when asked about Bradley Zimmer sitting against LHP Aldaberto Mejia on Friday.

Much better lineup today. I will guarantee we score.

Man. Lindor, Santana, and Gones all look terrible at the plate right now. I can't remember the last time Kipnis has hit a ball hard either.

Jose coming up with 2 guys on. He got us on the board earlier with a solo shot.
