You mean our second place Indians? They'll be ok.

Led the division a week ago and at the bottom in home attendance.
No one supporting the Injuns - what's up with that?

Too many other good things to do.  Probably only had around 28 really nice days this year.  Have yard work and other activities to do before supporting a team that has crashed and burned the previous two years.

Watched the 9th today.

I have Perez in fantasy and needed a save.

He looked really bad I would have to think a DL stint is coming.

Maybe a severe injury.

Just from looking at it on TV.

[LVGaryD]

I was really hoping they would move Perez over the winter. His numbers are far better than his pitching.

The last few years the Injuns have looked good the first half, then choke.  This year I think they may finish stronger than in the past.  Have some good looking young players and their manager has savy that others lacked in the past.   Tigers just look too tough fir either the Injuns or Sox to take down.  Cabrera is a beast.  Looks like Sox and Injuns will battle it out for second place.  Hard to see a wild card for either.  I don't care about second place. Win or go home.

If Perez and Pestano are down for a length of time, the Indian's don't have a chance of finishing second or third. Perez hasn't been right the whole year. He threw 97-98 MPH last year. This year he's lucky to throw 93 -94. Pestano same. Last year 92-93, this year 90-91. The Indians announcer (Rick Manning) said yesterday that Pestano is like going to spring training. He will need at least 5 outings to get back the velocity!! Well if that's the truth WHY ISN'T HE IN COLUMBUS OR AKRON!!!

Pestano's fastball is sitting @ 88 right now.  As Ralph Kramden would say, "Bang,Zoom "!

Indians manager announced Pestano will get the first crack at saves. Not Joe Smith.

Yeah but one of the Indian's best closers only threw his fastball at 83- 84 MPH. Doug Jones !!! He used his 84 MPH fastball to blow the hitters away. He had three speeds on his curve, slow, slowest, and slower. and when he threw his fastball, he threw it by the hitters. As far as Pestano, I hope I don't get whip-flash watching the opposition hit the hell out of his fastballs. Especially when they are straight!!

Puddy gives the odds of a brawl or a benches empty knock-down at 1-1 against the Reds sometimes this week!! The Reds Chapman threw a pitch over Swishers head and then Swisher almost took him yard, and as Swisher was going to first Chapman kept jawing at Swisher. Then after every pitch Chapman made gyrations. You don't show up players. Hell just cause you can throw a ball 100MPH doesn't mean too much. Look at Justin Verlander!! Indians have a good record on him and he throws 102-103!!! I expect Votto or Phillips to see a pitch over their heads the next three games!!!

Chapman should have been tossed and suspended.

Too bad Carrasco wasn't around yesterday... he would have thrown at Chapman from the dugout

Does Dusty Baker think that everyone is a idiot? "It's not the first time Chapman threw a ball to the backstop"!!! Ok Francona, tell Cody Allen to throw his 98 MPH fastball at Votto or Phillips and then say, "it's not the first time Allen has thrown a ball to the backstop"!!! Nope it's about the 5th or 6th time!!!
