    Well, Cleveland is being agreeable

    Ramirez out of the lineup and only Naylor has wRC+ or OPS+ of over 99

    Should have found a way to get Robel Garcia in this lineup.

    How about no more overuse injuries till Yordan comes back? Maybe if he had more off days, wouldn’t have strained a muscle while swinging a bat.

    Excellent first inning, we really made him work to get through it.

    Non-competitive ass first inning, Bieber might go 8th with line-up.

    Two of the strikes on Abreu were OFF the plate on both sides, what a joke these guys are

    Any decent pitcher should be able to exploit this umpires zone for a very dominant day.

    The ump also seems swayed by framing. Just do both.

    Who's the muppet behind the plate today? I know we got the Laz Diaz Show earlier this series.

    Obviously the top of your order should be

    Straw
    Goodrum
    Robel
    Abreu
    Maldy

    It's not that complicated.

    I was totally wrong about Josh Bell. He's been horrible since he left DC.
