That was a fun win guys. I hope the Indians lose sometime though.

The Indians are just clicking right now with both offense and pitching.

I saw on ESPN last night that their starters have an ERA of 1.91 in this 12 game streak. It was 3.92 the first 65 games. On offense they have also scored 6.33 runs per game and had 21 HRs in the 12 games. They were at 4.63 runs over their 1st 65.

It's pretty uncommon to be on a roll for this long with both offense and pitching. Case in point, when we scored 64 runs while winning 8 of 9 games (also had 10+ hits every game), we gave up 41 runs or about 4.55 runs per.

Salazar is a stud and Kluber is a proven workhorse, but Bauer Tomlin and Carassaco are bound to cool down.

I would sign up for a 3.92 from our starters the rest of the way without hesitation

wackycat, didn't you offer to stop posting as a donation? maybe for ffest or something? how much did you want for that again?

i wouldn't be surprised if youngsie's six scoreless or even more scoreless than usual tonight, due to the pitchers batting whenever there are men on base and two outs.

Good call, sys. More posting about how Hosmer should be playing 2nd. I'll work on it.

I don't care what happens tonight, I'm just so happy we got the split

kim carnes · « **Reply #63936 on:** June 30, 2016, 11:56:38 AM »

With the split in hand, young can just go out there and pitch freely

Powercat Posse · « **Reply #63937 on:** June 30, 2016, 12:00:25 PM »

CF3,

I would take 3.80-3.90 ERA rest of the way too in a heartbeat

Love to see us get 2 pitchers in the 3.30-3.60 range and two more just under 4.00 and then our 5th starter being over 4.00 but under 5.00

yeah, earning that guaranteed split last night was great. i wouldn't mind seeing Dyson take a couple HR swings tonight

Dyson only has one (1) triple this year

That would be really good. League average ERA for starters is 4.49

"a monster" is a great term for a super fast person that isn't good at stealing bases.

The idea that Dyson isn't getting a fair shake is one of the more absurd sys hot takes
