Indians blew their 2-run lead, hopefully the Rangers can finish them off.

Unacceptable managed game by Manny Acta..

 

[WHO-DEY-BENGALS_18]

Wow! Phillies & Giants really going at it!

 

[WHO-DEY-BENGALS_18]

Victorino decided to tackle somebody... The umpire was holding him back, holding him back and then he was like "fuck it" just go for it and BOOM down goes somebody.

Fuck Manny Acta. One of the worst managed games I have ever seen.

1. Let's try stealing 3rd with 2 outs with out catcher, sounds smart, right?
2. Hit and run to 3rd base with a horrible contact hitter and a slow runner.
3. Guy on 1st, no outs, Jason Donald, not really know for his hitting up, we have two options. Pinch hit our best hitter and let him get some hacks or bunt the runner over. Orrrrr we could let him hit into a DP.

Not to mention he should have taken Ubaldo out a little earlier.

End rage.

You forgot not pinch hitting Travis Hafner or Chisenhall for Shelley Duncan in the 10th inning with 2 on and 1 out.

Oh yeah, fuck him more.

Doesn't help that this team has a few worthless aging players who management won't let go of because they provide 'veteran leadership'. All I know is the veteran leadership on this team is hitting .200 with a 6.00 ERA..

edit: really the only positive out of the game today is that Ubaldo had really good velocity all night, and apparently the Texas radar gun gives out low readings a lot.. He didn't pitch well, but he's got the fastball velocity back.

If the Indians want to stay in this race they need to get their shit back together and quick.. Probably need to sweep the Tigers in a couple of days, and at the very least win 2 of 3. Don't know if we face Verlander or not, but if we don't, we should have a great chance to win all 3.

 

[RipCity32]

How do you figure you will have a great chance to win all 3? lol. Even without Verlander pitching.

Anyways, good day for Tigers fans

 

[elcheato]

Because no one else in that Tigers rotation is threatening aside from Verlander who is pretty much an auto loss for us.

Pretty sure Masterson and Ubaldo are pitching for the Indians in that series, who have an advantage over all Tiger pitchers aside from Verlander. Fausto I assume pitches after them, which I would probably count on for a loss for the Indians actually..

Anyway, not saying they will win all 3.. saying they have a good chance with the match ups.

 

[RipCity32]

I'd say anyway but Penny gives us a better chance to win lol.

 

[WHO-DEY-BENGALS_18]

Yeah, I like our chances with Verlander, Scherzer, Porcello, Fister and Penny is a toss up, you need to score runs with him pitching. Even IF the Indians were to sweep the Tigers for some reason (doubt that will happen), I still like our chances. Still worried about the White Sox/Twins making a late run.

 

[Phil The Thrill]

Lackey actually out pitched Sabathia.

 

[JoshHoward5]

I thought we would lose this one for sure, I thought there was no way that Lackey could beat CC. But I <3 Ellsbury

 

[WHO-DEY-BENGALS_18]

What a catch by Jackson!

 

[Phil The Thrill]

I thought we would lose this one for sure, I thought there was no way that Lackey could beat CC. But I <3 Ellsbury

Can't believe how well Ellsbury has played this season. He is putting up decent power numbers on top of hitting for average.

Yeah he's been crazy, I thought he would have like 10 HRs tops. He's almost doubled that already.

 

[RipCity32]

Another Tigers win, and save for Jose.
Let's just hope Victor is okay :/

SMH, I don't know what's going on with CC but he's shitting the bed against a Red Sox lineup that he should be dominating.
