I don't necessarily agree with that statement. As it stands, with our cleanup hitter out of the lineup, and arguably our best hitter coming back to get one at-bat on the final day of the season. Toss in a great defensive CF that runs like a gazelle getting his hand stepped on, then I'd agree with you. We're devastated with injuries right now. Last year it was the rotation that was on life-support. This year, it is the offense. They'll need to figure out how to score some runs. Maybe not today, but for game 5.

Not to crap on you, but great teams overcome adversity. Losing teams blame injuries and officiating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not blaming injuries, simply pointing them out, and saying that they haven't yet figured out how to get past them. We'll have the presumptive Cy Young Award Winner starting for us on Wednesday....at home. I'll take my chances. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m at a loss. Hopefully Kluber has his A-game Wednesday. Need him big. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AkronsWitness Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 Whats killing them is not rolling with what got them here. They forced guys like Brantley, Kipnis and Chiz back in the lineup after not being active at all for months just because they didnt want to start guys like Greg Allen, Yandy Diaz and Erik Gonzalez. Also, where in the hell has Austin Jackson been. Replace Brantley with Jackson and Kipnis with Greg Allen RIGHT NOW. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hell I'd be find putting Jose back at 3rd, moving Kip to 2nd and putting Jackson at CF. Giovanny was solid at 3b but he can't hit anything.

Tito will roll with what is happening hes is not making a major change like that in a elimination game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pnies20 Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 I feel they lose Wednesday I'm swearing off all pro sports for at least a year. Ok I'm lying. But I'll try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
candyman93 Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 Frankie and Jose in the ALDS have gone a combined 3-31 and are hitting .094/.222/.202 with 12 strikeouts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
candyman93 Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 What bothers me about Tito starting Kip is that it makes me wonder if he places loyalty over production. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
