They weren't going to be able to pay him after this year. Not sure what Cincinnati gave up, but probably nothing of equal trade value. Kluber must be close to coming back I'd guess.

Maybe the Indians dump Bauer today after his tantrum. Loved how Francona handled it.

Same thing every year with him.....average starts....a handful of good ones and an ERA between 4 and 5.

Bats go silent and the lead likely down to one. I've been critical of the Twins over this stretch, but my God the Indians haven't played anyone other than the Twins this month.....playing 10 against the Royals and a four game homestand against the mighty Tigers. Likely to go 13-1 in those 14.....throw in the Reds, Blue Jays....and I'm not as upset at the Twins.....

Agreed. Odorizzi too. Pineda has been their best pitcher on the whole staff the last month.

Two in a row. Nice to see a starter get through seven and then a relief pitcher not wiggle around for ten minutes before he throws a pitch. More than one lefty in the pen??? Wha.....

Buxton makes such a difference out there. Cave just isn't close.

I said a while back that the lead could be lost by August 1st. Hopefully going to Chicago and Miami helps our cause.

Thank God....I can't handle his tempo on the mound....hopefully someone takes him.

KEEP THE KID IN THE BIG LEAGUES

Game tonight proved they aren't going to outslug the Yankees. There are a ton of hitters on both teams, but zero chance in a series against the Yankees with the pitching depth what it is. Its July 24th.....one week to see if they are serious about a chance at a WS.

What a game.....wow. Not the catch of the year though Bremer.....

Who comes up from Rochester tomorrow?????

Castro has got to read the scouting report on Hicks.....loves first pitch fastballs.....

Ohh my Sano......ohh my...... What a bomb.....

Rocco.....goodness.....you can't put Parker in against the Yankees. We can bitch and moan all we want about missed strike three, but Parker can't be in the game to begin that inning.

Ron Gardenhire.....

Hopefully "Fenway Gibby" shows up tomorrow.

Can we please play with a second baseman???? Please???? Big win.

I agree. Tighten up that curve and he's a big leaguer.

Stand by above comment..... They have got to make a move.....goodness they have got to make a move.

*Rant* What an absolute dumpster fire. What an absolute joke. Terrible management, terrible work upstairs by the front office. Twins fans are dying for a winner....begging for hope. God, it's been years.....and we finally have hope and this is what happens. One of the biggest let downs in sports history. All could have been prevented if they made the moves early and kept their foot on the pedal of Cleveland, and held Rocco accountable for many....many question mark moves. Now any move of a prospect could be worthless because this team won't make the postseason. #loserville.

Hey Trevor....what's your best pitch? Trevor May: Fastball THEN THROW THE BLEEPING FASTBALL..... I understand you need offspeed, but when the chips are stacked you need your best pitch. If you can touch 98 but have terrible breaking pitches why continue to overthrow terrible breaking pitches?

Fantastic article by Schloss on Greg Johnson. Posted on the herald website.

You said it perfectly......walk Davis, pitching coach to the mound to let him get his breath, and then finish the game.
