Indians hitters are champing at the bit to get in the box right now.

Upvoted for correctly stating "champing" versus "chomping."

No way Irvin should have pitched to JRAm with 1st base open and two outs. 

NOT A DAMN REASON for Irvin to take his obvious craptastic stuff and pitch to JRam. None.

Dumb frickin' managing.

All weaknesses get exposed through attrition. 1) Pitching -  Os lose Bradish, Means. Wells, Bautista and Danny C.   That is a ton of pitching talent that has not been replaced. Need 2-3 more good pitchers to have a decent post season run.   2) Vets taking a step back - McCann, Mullins, Urias and Hays - 3 RHH former starters plus a former star/lineup catalyst in Mullins.  3) Hyde - great coach and development manager and earned the right to manage the 24 team but who knows if he can guide a team to a WS championship.  4) Elias - can he acquire difference maker talent at the deadline - has not done that to date.

Incoming double play on first pitch or 3 pitch strikeout.

Classic underwhelming Hays AB against a righty. It’s ok, Hyde will PH for him in the bottom of the 9th with 1 out.

I still think that if Mateo had stretched for the throw instead of taking the throw at the bag it would have been an out. 

Those types of plays happen when teams are scuffling. Ball tailed into runner. Things going well ball gets there half a second earlier.

Not sure why Hays had an AB there. Put Kjerstad back in when the LHP is out.

Why not PH HK for Hays?!

20 years ago I thought we would be a contender. Our offense looked stacked, and I thought our pitching would be good enough. Our offense did well enough overall, but our starting pitching was bad outside of Rodrigo Lopez and Eric Bedard didn't have an awful season. The bullpen was bad and we finished under .500. 

We are a long way from those days. We are fielding a playoff team with a small payroll and these slumps sometimes get us overreacting. Be happy it isn't 20 years ago!

I trust that we will take a shot at a starter and a bullpen piece that will help. I think this losing streak will convince Elias to be active at the trade deadline.

So.. Basically shut down once Allen was pulled with the big guns to come for Cleveland 

[O's84]

And we get nothing.

[Tony-OH]

Damn, I thought Mateo would beat that out.

Foot wasnt on the base just now...

Because Hyde still pretends Hays is a good defender.
