No doubt. Thought for sure that change up would get him but he knew it was coming and crushed it.
Extremely underrated.
If Gary can get back in and be even 75% of himself, the machine is really going to start humming.
This is going to be a tough series, but I’m feeling a little 16-of-20 type surge coming out of the break.
Between that and bringing Kluber out for the 8th...
Ask and you shall receive.
;)
Jynxie cat jynxie cat where are you?
Yeah, and it's why I really hope Cash is working the phones for any good reliever that might become available. Lock our pen down, and keep any other top AL team from improving theirs.
Hes my favorite player....he better be. Def extemd a CC-like deal.
Yep. 30 games over .500 too.
Let's take two of the next three, keep it there, and shoot for 35 over out of the break.

The Indians pen is awful. It's Cody Allen and a lot of trash with Miller shelved. Some of these relievers are fucking terrible.

Zach Britton would fit the bill and have the Yanks move on from Chasen Tyler, I mean Shreve.

Yeah he'd be an upgrade over Shreve but I'm not sure he's the Britton of old.
I'd be more interested to see if Hand is available and what would it take to get him. He won't come cheap if he's available at all but we have the pieces. He'll be a replacement for Robbie next year as well as keeping him away form other teams this year. I'd definitely be inquiring if he's on the block because if he is, and Houston gets him, that's trouble. Indians or Boston too but don't think the Sox have enough to get him.

He's not and doesn't need to be. He's not closing. He'd be the lefty guy in the 6th or 7th.

I realize he wouldn't be closing but I'm talking more about getting a huge out in a big spot come playoff time. Not sure I'd have the confidence in him I would've had in years past.
I'd rather try and go for better but wouldn't be pissed if he took Shreve's spot if we couldn't do better.

Absolutely, I felt the same way. To battle like that against Kluber is huge, especially with Sevy not being at his best. That’s a great win to set the tone to start a tough series, while Boston keeps the pressure on us.
Biggest thing for me from this week is Bird is starting to get hot. I’ve certainly been skeptical, but can’t forget that when he came back last season he took some time to get on track. He had a couple really good ABs tonight, following up a good series at the plate in Baltimore
Finally had a game where those borderline pitches were turning counts in our favor, especially late in the game. The walk to DiDi was huge
