If the Tribe went 161-1 certain people would be calling for Francona's firing.

The one would surely be his fault.

All-star #s first half of last year. Since then, not so much. Can he right the ship (again)? Lifetime .285 hitter.

Cost = minimum w/Reds footing the biggest part of his salary. Little risk and potential upside, especially short-term (2019). Yes?

My one concern is whether or not he is a pain in the . He has been moved around a bit.

 

[cabezadecaballo]

Starting everyone on 3 days rest when you had ryan merritt with greatest era Is pure stupidity.

Meanwhile, back in Reality Land, Merritt did the reverse Kurt Warner. He is stocking grocery shelves now......


Seriously, though, he's out of MLB, brian. Give it a rest.

 

[brian1227]

He in the minors.starting cody anderson proved how dumb the organization is.

LOL. Ryan Merritt is in the Tampa organization now. Not good enough to be on their 40 man roster. He p[itched 4 or 5 games total for Cleveland in 2016 and 2017, I believe.

You, in fact, define "pure stupidity".

 

[brian1227]

31.2 innings 1.71 era and francona benched him in world series. Cost cleveland a world series.

Understandable. LA did take him back for a short while during this moving around period. Maybe, they just needed an temp outfielder at the time, too.

"Do the Indians have anybody promising in the minors?" would be another consideration. I dunno.

 

[arizonawildcat]

Do you realize that the Tribe would not have even made it to the World Series without Francona's managing skills?

 

[brian1227]

He done alot right this was his big mistake.

 

[brian1227]

Trevor sucks this team sucks.

 

[mcm.1019]

I'm with Brian. Trevor sucks. I think we should call Tampa and trade Bauer for Merrit!

details, details......


You mean to say you doubt that brian was better able to evaluate the prospects of the Indians pitching staff in that series than silly old Francona ?

 

[brian1227]

In baseball pitching eveyone on 3 days rest is stupidity.

 

[EagleGuy]

Real men used to do it (pitch every four days), tossing complete game one hitters. Koufax, Seaver, Carlton, ..........

Modern day wusses!

 

[cabezadecaballo]

In baseball pitching eveyone on 3 days rest is stupidity.

Throwing a soft-tossing lefty with now 3 game of video that is crapping his pants may not be wise, either, oh great 1227

 

[brian1227]

Another loss playoffs are over.

 

[mcm.1019]

JRam sucks. That walk off homer he hit was too high!

 

[Raymo]

HUGE win and how they won...BAM!

 

[cabezadecaballo]

Just what Carrasco needed.

How about the double-dinger day for that Luplow - in a 5 inning rain-out ?

 

[wolves82]

In baseball pitching eveyone on 3 days rest is stupidity.

Your idea for starting a guy who is on Tampa's roster is more stupid.

 

[brian1227]

At the time francona was stupid he sucked for years. Another embarrassing loss.

 

[arizonawildcat]

I forget, whose turn was it to call Brian that that thing that women use to clean out their whatis (Yappi's censorship eliminated my original word)?

 

[brian1227]

Another Loss This is embarrassing.

 

[EagleGuy]

You're right. That was ugly. Bauers with a forgetful day. And, help from his friends.
