Cleveland Sports Forum

Yeah, I'm looking around the league for consolation. And I definitely found it.

The Orioles are about to sweep the Red Sox. IN Boston!

If you think "re-trenching" is hard to take in Cleveland, imagine re-trenching in Boston!! And that's exactly what they are doing.

By the way, this is such a typical Civale outing. Good not great. #4 or #5 type guy - valuable but on a contender we have another top 3 guy and he is #4.

Looks like we may have given them the kiss of life!

Rally! Rosario with 4th RBI in 2 days.

Then a 3 run 7th: A Rosario single; J Naylor double; Y Chang single puts Indians ahead
And Luplow delivers a two run homer His first hit of since last September, spring training included.
3 run lead with 3 innings to hold on

It was polite to leave the lefty in to face Chang and Luplow. Beats Bauers trying to knock in a couple runners in scoring position and Gamel trying to coax a walk.

This is the sequence from the bottom up

Nice to see Amed Rosario start the thing off.

Civale stayed in for 7. a couple lefties due in the 8th; will be use Perez vs inevitable pinch hitters? or Shaw the ultimate [when he's on] set up man?

Might not matter; Reyes 2 run homer for a 5 run lead.

Perez Quantrill McKenzie and Clase have all not pitched yet. I guess they're holding McK to backup Allen. Could see 2 of the other 3 today

Quantrill. Good job in the bullpen last year; have a starting job in his grasp but blew it.

quick effective inning; 2 ks and a pop up back to the mound Even the feared Baddoo was retired.

this is getting ridiculous: Austin Hedges with a homer.

Clase in throwing 101 mph cutters and 92 mph sliders. Sets them down in order although a bit inefficiently, needing 16 pitches.


Indians come home not winless.

Wow, 7 runs from the 7th inning on.

Tell you what, we need to see lots, lots more of Yu Chang.

Apologies to Civale who ended up with quite a nice outing.
