  • Cleveland 911 Operator: No, ma'am, that was not a UFO.
    Caller: And just how do you know? It was a white streak across the sky!
    Cleveland 911 Operator: The Indians just put in Tomlin.

    • What's going on with Leonys Martin? A few days ago he went to the hospital with "intestinal distress" and last night the Indians twitter feed said to "pray for him" and players wrote his name on their caps...?

        Leonys Martín has been out for the Indians with an undisclosed illness since Wednesday, August 8. This started to look like it might be quite a bit more serious than the usual flu-like symptoms on Friday, when manager Terry Francona gave an ominous update of Martín’s condition:
        In the best of times, our days are numbered, anyway. And it would be a crime against Nature for any generation to take the world crisis so solemnly that it put off enjoying those things for which we were presumably designed in the first place, and which the gravest statesmen and the hoarsest politicians hope to make available to all men in the end: I mean the opportunity to do good work, to fall in love, to enjoy friends, to sit under trees, to read, to hit a ball and bounce the baby.

        • Trevor Bauer has a stress fracture in his leg. No timetable for his return.

          • You know what’s the best? When you find out you just lost Bauer because someone just offered you kyle gibson for him straight up. Aaaarrrrrrggggghhhhh

            • well, we'll see how cocky was too cocky. just last week I traded expiring Kimbrel/Porcello/Bogaerts for Bauer 2B because I'm up by 19 in my AL-only and 33 saves ahead of 3rd place in that category, so Kimbrel wasn't useful, and I figured I could afford one hole in my offense and Bauer was an upgrade. Now, it's a little scary.

                Phew...I think you violated one of Han Solo's best warnings: "Don't get cocky, kid".

                    Nice. I remember my first time at Fenway well. If you have the chance do the tour - walking thru the teeny tunnel from the dugout was very cool.
                    It certainly feels that way. But I'm distrustful of that feeling and am curious about evidence.

                      Awesome, have fun! I felt like I'd traveled back in time 100 years.

                        Had a blast and great seats at both games. Only bad news was the tribe lost both games.

                        • Ya know what’s amazing? The Indians will have four pitchers with 200+ Ks, and all four were acquired in trades as prospects.

                          • Anyone know why it looks like Kluber got bumped for freaking plutko for his scheduled start on Sunday?! I'm so close to the two peat and was counting on Kluber's start to help lock me up. First he got bumped to set things up for the postseason and now they are bumping him again?!

                              The Indians probably don't want the Red Sox to get a good look at Kluber now when it's so close to the post-season and they could end up facing each other in October.

                              • It could be a blessing in disguise for Kluber to miss that start because the Red Sox are capable of destroying a pitcher's ratios. Even Kluber's.
