Not the first time the derby has done that to a hitter If I remember correctly, Jose Ramirez has never been in the home run derby so I don’t think that is a reason for his downfall Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bruceb Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 (edited) Can anyone think of a good reason why we have to suffer through Jake Bauers' ineptitude and not ship him down and bring up Bradley? Is this an ego thing, i.e., they don't want to admit they made a mistake trading Diaz for him? Is Bauers out of options? Or is this one of those "oh, we can hold him for another year if we don't bring him up too soon" things? Are management's heads completely up their arses?

Bradley is being held back for contract reasons. Which is pointless cause if the player is as good as he is, or what you hope for, he won’t see that extra year cause the Indians will just trade him before that. So you might as well bring him up now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then it's probably as much not wanting to admit that the Bauers trade was a mistake since he would be the odd man out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know one game does not eliminate a season of woe - but prior to last night's game Bauers got called into the principal's office so Tito could give him a pep talk. Jake took it to heart and responded. He hit for the cycle Friday night. So we will see what Saturday brings. My guess is he won't be in the lineup.

NateDawg Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 I wonder if Jason Kipnis has gotten any of those 'pep talks' over the past three years ^^^. Complete deadweight. Indians are still treading water despite all the injuries. Twins are on fire though. Will be hard to catch them even if this team gets right and healthy.

candyman93 Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 Oscar Mercado is keeping us afloat. It’s just him, Frankie, and Santana. It’d be nice if Jose showed up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
