Official Cleveland Indians Thread

Game's not over yet but the Tribe just hit 3 solo HRs in the 9th inning to tie the game at 5. They are now in the 11th and the bullpen has done a fantastic job today (6 2/3 IP, 3H, 0R, 6K, 0BB).

Hopefully we don't see Wickman today.....

Wow, I stopped watching this game cause they were pissing me off, and now they're up 6 in the bottom of the 11th. It's good to see that they can bounce back from two tough games.

Our team is stacked! Just never give the ball to Wickman and we are all good, honestly our bullpen is like night and day from last year!

[dales]

It's very nice to be able to play matchups with the bullpen this year (excluding Wickman because he sucks). Miller, Riske, Betancourt, Howry for righties; Rhodes and Sauerbeck for lefties.

I think the Indians should give Davis a shot at closing whenever C.C. comes back because, as you know, Jason is filling in for Sabathia in the rotation right now. If Davis can get good control, he'd be a golden closer. He throws mid- to high nineties and, as mentioned, has the splitter for an out pitch.

Betancourt was fire today, I hope he can find a breaking ball he's really comfortable with because he does have that aggressive mentality closers need.

[Lintyfresh85]

Betancourt once again had a great game yesterday even though Jake got bombed. Well good news we have 5 on Bonderman in the first so far and still batting looks like a good day to go .500.

Wickster was rocky again, but again got the save to beat the Tigs.

I despise Wicky, but a win is a win, and we got the series win!
