    Too bad Springer is out, because he probably catches that ball.

    The Indians and Red Sox are two garbage teams but winning series against Astrod

    Yep.. and the bats aren't helping much either. Except when we score 8 runs when 5 would've done the job.

    My first thought as well.

    Good gut call by the Tribe leaving Murphy in to face the lefty.

    That's what I don't get--Thatcher got you your out against the high hitting lefty...why not bring in Neshek then?

    Murphy is having a career year and has never been awful against LHP.

    I'm sure it is because he wanted to keep Thatcher around for Brantley & Murphy who are left handed.

    Neshek should have been in to start the 8th. Matchup based pitching substitutions aren't nearly as effective in high leverage situations.

    He's a career .258/.305/.350 hitter against lefties. Now, that's not really anything special, but he's been OK against them.

    That's what I'm saying--I feel like it hasn't been effective at all with Thatcher but I can't back that up with analytics
