    Morton needs to get his **** together next inning.

    Maybe Hinch was being clairvoyant in his bullpen usage yesterday, gonna be a loooooong day for the pen if Morton keeps this up and Peacock going next.

    So far this series I've heard a xylophone, drums, a cowbell and a ****ing vuvuzela. WTF IS WRONG WITH YOU OAKLAND?

    ETA: That was very Biggio-esque watching a catcher tag to 3rd on a medium fly ball to LCF

    I swear. If we puke up the best record in the AL because we can't beat lowly Oakland that will be a very hard kick in the stones. Apparently Cleveland will not lose again. Hopefully they are blowing their wad now and will cool in the playoffs

    It's okay. We didn't need those runners.

    Astros feel the heat of the Indians. It's showing in their pressing and frustration in this series so far. Not to keep harping on it but Hinch really gave the shitty As life last night with putting all those gas cans out there to help them with the comeback.

    Repeating same mistakes either means we have mental midgets or our manager is too lenient. Or is it just "meh that's baseball"?

    It's ridiculous and inexcusable. They literally make the same stupid mistakes over and over again. I'll go on record and say Hinch may be great for building up a young contender, but I don't think he's the answer to get them to that next level.

    Hinch is a terrible game manager. Everyone knows this. It's not being negative or going against all the sunshine pumpers here. Everyone should know by now that Hinch really really sucks at managing the game.

    Altuve is just not a good baserunner and never has been. He's not going to suddenly change, no matter how much coaching he gets.

    Bregman ****ed up. He knows better, I have no idea what he was thinking.

    Hinch can't do anything about an anemic offense. Altuve and Correa have had an awful day at the plate

    This is all too similar looking to the series at Chicago. Oakland barely has an MLB roster. These games should not be close.

    Why wasn't a pitcher warmed up before Lowery came to the plate when it was obvious Clippard was struggling? Once Clippard walked the bases loaded he needed to be taken out.
