candyman93 Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 Just embarrassed the best offense in baseball. As a reminder, first round of the playoffs is a 3 game series. That’s massive for us given how strong our starting pitching is. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Until/Unless Hand gets back to speed the K-Man is our closer. Will keep saying that he is a big key to how this shortened season goes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cookie might be the best #3 pitcher in the AL and maybe in all of Majors depending on the nationals and their rotation. The only thing that is going to hold this team back is the offense Edited July 31, 2020 by buno67 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brooks1957 Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 (edited) BIEBER!!!!!!! But let's not lose sight of ANOTHER very important development....... James Karinchak 1.0 IP 0 R 0 H 6 Pitches 6 Strikes Can you hear me now, Tito? And it's not like this post is a kneejerk reaction to one bad outing on Wednesday night. Since the All Star Break last year, Hand's pitching has been on a downward track. Edited July 31, 2020 by brooks1957 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

candyman93 Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 With how scary strong our starting rotation is. The craziness of this season benefits us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AkronsWitness Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 Karinchak has closer type stuff and he also seems to have the demeanor for it as well. I think its only a matter of time. Problem would be it would leave a big gap with the relievers unless Hand can somehow switch to being a 5th-8th inning type guy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is this 5th inning reliever you speak of? I've never heard of such a thing. I say sir, we're Cleveland Indians, and we don't talk about 5th inning relievers in these parts.

Just like we had never heard of a fifth round pick being used on a long snapper either. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing that is going to hold this team back is the offense Only thing with Clev/Cookie that has been their main issues for the past 2-3 years has been consistency. They are both capable of going a month or two with being dominant but unlike Kluber/Beiber they dont have the consistent control. Outside of that yeah...this team really needs to figure it out 5-9 in the batting lineup. Hopefully Naquin and the return of Desheilds will help jolt the second half of the order. Its funny because Desheilds and Domingo Santana are both guys I have probably added/dropped 25+ times over the years in fantasy. I KNOW each one of them can get hot for stretches and absolutely mash.
