Cleveland Indians (17-17) versus Milwaukee Brewers (20-15)

Game 36: Tuesday, May 8 at 6:40PM CST

Corey Kluber (RHP, 5-1 with a 2.41 ERA) versus Wade Miley (LHP, 1-0 with a 1.50 ERA)

Game 37: Wednesday, May 9 at 12:10PM CST

Carlos Carrasco (RHP, 4-1 with a 3.95 ERA) versus Junior Guerra (RHP, 2-2 with a 2.33 ERA)

I'm going tonight, I'll be shocked if Kluber doesn't make it 7 innings with 10+ Ks

I've never seen Kluber pitch so I'm going too.

Sogard down to AAA, Nick Franklin up. Not exactly inspiring.

Orf should have been given a shot over Franklin.

I'd give Orf a shot because why the hell not, but I don't think he's going to amount to much in the majors, either.

I guess I was wrong once about Scooter, but Orf seems to even have less projectability.

Orf has hit AAA pretty well. He has no pop and is basically a 2nd base only guy. But why the hell not. Franklin has been given multiple chances at the MLB level and never gotten any production out of them. If youre going to wad up something to throw at the wall to see if it sticks why not do it with the guy who hasnt had 4 or 5 shots at it already. idk

Franklin is garbage.

So Franklin gets called up at immediately gets the start at 2nd over Villar? That's the 4th straight game Villar has been on the bench with no reports of any injury. Something is definitely going on there.

Also adding that Brewer Wold dude on Twitter is a complete sham. I dont know how so many people follow that dude. His "Sources" basically was Toby from BF who posted Knebel's pic back with the team from the Brewers Insta.

Total slap in Villars face there. He's hitting .303/.346/.368 as a left-handed hitter

It has to be something off the field related that they're handling internally. That's the only way this makes any sense.

He is barely better than Franklin over his career hitting RHP.

If we're going to make big judgments from small samples, that's a garbage slugging percentage.

I can not believe Mauricio Dubon is out for the season with a torn ACL. All of our Milwaukee teams are cursed!!!

I mean, I dont hate Nick Franklin. He was a good all around hitter in the minors and hes still relatively young, he just turned 27 a couple months ago. Who knows at this point, hes had his chances but maybe this is the time. I'll be optimistic. I did hear he has been playing some catcher this year which at this point in his career shows he wants it, and is willing to be a team player. Always nice to see that.

The Villar situation however is very interesting, gotta be something there.

Brewer World? U sure thats a parody acct? Dude gets pretty defensive.

Villar showed up on yahoo fantasy as "day to day" a few days ago so I just figured he's banged up somehow...

Didn't even know we had Nick Franklin again. Dubon out sucks but the future is the main thing with him, so oh well.

Well, bye-bye Miley. Jeez.
