AJC Indians Will Be Flexen Disemboweled With the Mariner Trident game thread

Who's ready to step up and eat some crow after doubting Kelenic's ability in the majors?! I know there's a few in here!!

Some didn't seem to have confidence in him to hit him leadoff

Exactly! I won't name any names, but its time to fess up.

You gotta be kidding me! Flexen pulled at 85 after pitching very, very well and Scott brings in the closer in the 6th. I guarantee he'll call in Montero if it comes down to a save situation in the 9th. Such disrespect to the game.

Graveman isn't the designated closer. He's the true definition of what we call a "Fireman.' It was the right call. Toughest part of their lineup was right there.

Match your best arms to what you believe are the critcal points of the game, the high leverage situations. Why save the best weapon you might have available for what could end up being a meaningless 9th inning. How often is the closer, what's considered the best arm in the BP left sitting there because the game is already lost. SS might be an idiot but he understands current baseball tactics

Graveman sitting quietly with a 1.3 WAR which equals the exact value of Kyle Seager.

Jarred Kelenic already at 0.2!!! There you go ROOK!

This is going to be a GREAT season!!! Now, if I can, may we all please get a moment of silence for Mets fans........








.......SUCKA'S!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey, guys. Alert in Everett. Kirby walked a batter. I repeat. Kirby. Walked. A. Batter...

Only blemish on a near perfect outing in 0 hits and 8 Ks in 5 innings.

I was really pleased when they re-signed Graveman in the offseason, but I don't know that anyone could have predicted what a force he would become. If there's a better relief pitcher in baseball, I'd like to know who it is.

Chapman. 15 IPs 4 Hits 5 walks and 31Ks. 0.00 ERA and a negative FIP

Thats why I like Dylan in the lead off role. Puts some pressure on the base paths.

Problem is if you take away his four HRs he has only been on the base paths 23% of the time. JK seems to be doing fine there.

You really want one of your best hitters hitting at top of the lineup
