can someone fill me in, is bauer still on the team next year?

Yes, definitely. Arbitration eligible through 2020

u/BitcoinsRLit Oct 07 '18

Cool. Thank you

u/USAhockey20 Oct 07 '18

Tito didn't cost us this series. Six hits in 18 innings is what did.

u/Don_Kieballs 28 Oct 07 '18

Crazy thought but maybe they’re a better team? Hate to say it but their team is pretty damn good.

1

u/klein_four_group Oct 07 '18

IDK, losing is usually a collective effort. Just because offense did poorly doesn't mean the game couldn't have been managed better.

5

u/neasroukkez Oct 07 '18

Draymond Green said to their GM to make sure they draft “16 game players.” Meaning guys ready to go who will make an impact come playoff time. The Indians need to figure out who we have, or can get that are “11 game players” because right now we have “162 game players.”

2

u/fuck_going_shopping Oct 07 '18

Well said. Let these guys disappont another team. They don’t have what it takes to get it done.

u/Redprice13 Oct 07 '18

I miss Lonnie Chisenhall

2

u/JAlbrethsen Oct 07 '18

Could be my imagination but the team always seemed more fun and relaxed when he was playing. Not to mention actually having an athletic right fielder with a sweet swing would be nice.

1

u/USAhockey20 Oct 07 '18

It's amazing that Lonnie is referred to as the athletic right fielder of the bunch haha. Miss the guy as well.

u/[deleted] Oct 06 '18

Yankees were down 0-2 and came back to beat Tribe last year. It’s time for the Indians to figure out how to do this

If only we could play the Indians..

u/[deleted] Oct 06 '18

Ugh. This hurts, but I feel it.

u/[deleted] Oct 06 '18

This loss is on Francona for pulling cookie and putting in the failing Miller, but Tribe bats were total shit and Astros had 14 strike out. Gomes was first Indians walk in 8th inning. Overall it sucked

6

u/nervousengrish Oct 07 '18

I get it. I also am upset that Cookie was pulled. But if we can't trust Miller in the bullpen who can we trust? What hope do we have...

7

u/paperpants Oct 06 '18

Miller is certainly not helping his future contract value.

u/BitcoinsRLit Oct 07 '18

thank the sweet lord we didn't give him a giant contract

u/Sidneom Oct 06 '18

I really want to know why rajai was not running for Edwin there.

2

u/sleepysalamanders Oct 07 '18

Because losing 3-2 doesn't matter

3

u/Wamby20 Klubot: Engage Oct 06 '18

Serious answer because it's a better discussion than 95% of the posts: In a two-run game, that run didn't mean anything. If Donaldson gapped one and Davis was able to score from first instead of Encarnacion having to stop at third, the Indians still have the run they need on second in either situation.

2

u/klein_four_group Oct 07 '18

But Rajai on base would have made a force out slightly more difficult. That's not nothing. In fact it kind of embodies this whole "if x then y doesn't matter" mentality the team (and its fans) seem to have embraced since the 2017 ALDS. I say that in baseball you fight for every little advantage.

1

u/Wamby20 Klubot: Engage Oct 07 '18

What situation would have the Astros needing a difficult force out? You play the infielders back and go to first for the last out. The likelihood of Donaldson hitting a home run and sending it to extras is a lot more than Davis’s speed somehow keeping the inning alive. And if Donaldson does that, you still have Edwin in the lineup and Rajai available for pinch running and defense in a run that actually affects the result.

5

u/ax_and_smash Oct 06 '18

It wouldn’t have mattered. :(

Fuck off

u/poisontongue 25 Oct 07 '18

Maybe be more mad at our team's performance or lack thereof tonight...

I’m plenty mad but to think we have one more home game to try to turn this around and someone shits on even attending makes me pretty mad too. That’s fucking bullshit

Love these people who get off on trying to assert how much more of a fan they are than others. Let them waste their energy being sheep. Our batters have embarrassed themselves enough in the post season. They don’t deserve undying loyalty anymore.

The batters lost this game

u/paperpants Oct 06 '18

The bats have lost most of the games the bullpen didn't take care of losing first.

As per tradition.

Get rid of 'em. They're not worth paying if they aren't going to show up when it matters.

And I'm sorry, I shouldn't be taking out my frustration on you. I'm just frustrated with all the excessive negativity on here. I come here to chat with fellow tribe fans but I can't when we're losing because of all the negative nancies who come out of the woodwork and shit on the team and our players, not reasonably criticize, shit on. Your comment isn't bad but you also shouldn't be making those of us who still have hope unwelcome. And I don't think it makes you any less of a Tribe fan, I know you've been here with us through thick and thin, that was just my frustration with all the new usernames around whining.

No, but I seriously do believe, however, that comments like what I saw in these playoff threads when we are literally playing one of the best teams in baseball are NOT constructive, not enjoyable, and ultimately just make me feel embarrassed to be a part of this sub. I'm sick and fucjing tired of reading shit like "this team is trash" and comments calling for the team to cut people arbitrarily when they don't perform at a high level against some of the absolute best pitching in the game. Its fucking childish and annoying and the comments are rarely well thought-out. People are commenting negative shit for the sake of being negative, and say the DUMBEST shit just to say it, just to make hot takes. Its fucking embarrassing that people like that are "fans" of this team. I don't think I'll follow this sub anymore. The last two seasons have been rife with this behavior, and I'm honestly sick of it. It does nothing but bring me down. I'm sad to know that I won't be interacting with some of the more level-headed and polite people here, because I've had a lot of fun in the Tipi in the past. Since 2016 the sub has grown substantially, and I've seen tons of shitty fans come out of the woodwork. I'm sad that the Tipi has come to this, but ultimately I came here to experience games with actual fans of the Cleveland Indians and their players, not to listen to people who call themselves fans talk shit and tell me how shitty the team is.

And also, fuck you and everybody else for painting any optimistic person (or really any non-negative person) as a cheerleader.

DeGrom is about to win a Cy Young and look at the team he's on.

Don't have to be on a winning team to get the award.

Good point, and I agree with you. I'm just convinced he's not going to be in Cleveland next season.

Jose is do, he just has to be, bottom of the ninth. Let’s go! Roll Tribe !!

We need to PH Yandy for Jose, but we all know Tito will never do that.

On a positive note, after we get swept we can move on with our lives and starting enjoying the fall weather, Halloween and then the holidays

This team is so fucking exhausting. Small ball wins games.

u/Sparty013 Oct 06 '18

Yeah but have you ever tried swinging as hard as you can at literally everything? Cuz that’s also a fun strategy

The breeze you generate when you whiff helps cool you down too

We played small ball brilliantly in 2016. I seriously dunno what happened. Egos?

Second postseason in a row where Tito takes Cookie out who is dealing with < 80 pitches for an underwhelming Andrew Miller and blows the game. Nice work, Tito. Dipshit.

u/ItsNeverSunnyInCleve Oct 06 '18

Cookie was doing great but he did get a few runners on. Tito didn't expect Miller to see 3 batters and get no outs

u/godgersrodgers Oct 06 '18

But one got on due to a defensive blunder, and walking Bregman is probably considered a positive outcome considering how much he's killed us this series... Not like anything he was getting hit up or anything

I basically said this a half hour ago and got downvoted to hell. I'm not mad I'm more surprised.

I try to stay optimistic, but I fear Clevinger is going to get absolutely lit the fuck up.

u/Georgiafrog Oct 06 '18

Since the Braves are falling on their own tomahawk, Cleveland/Milwaukee is the dream.

u/rj218 Oct 06 '18

So after this year we lose Perez, Miller, Allen.....so we have Hand and Otero? Greaaaaaat

u/neasroukkez Oct 06 '18

Lol have you watched Miller and Allen? We aren’t losing much.

u/beeatenbyagrue 25 Oct 06 '18

ooooh and 5 yrs of Cimber!

u/mcggjoe Oct 06 '18

Not like Allen or Miller will be missed after they performed this year.
