Cleveland doesn't suck this year, which can only mean it's time to take them down a notch in this four-game series.

Game 1: Carrasco (3-2, 2.73 ERA) vs Dickey (5-8, 4.23 ERA)
Game 2: Tomlin (9-1, 3.32 ERA) vs Stroman (6-4, 5.33 ERA)
Game 3: Bauer (6-2, 3.19 ERA) vs Estrada (5-3, 2.81 ERA)
Game 4: Kluber (8-7, 3.50 ERA) vs Happ (10-3, 3.70 ERA)

Best pitching team in the AL that is also hitting great right now. This won't be easy. At least they miss Salazar.

Hopefully we get a split but I'm not too optimistic

Bauer started the season just awful and now he is doing incredibly well.

Missed joke opportunity in the thread title "Clevelanders @ Indians"

How interesting that the Indian's run this streak just as the city of Cleveland finally gets the championship monkey off it's back?

The good news is we miss Salazar. The bad news is the other 4 starters have all been lights out too.

Please tell me that they're going to do something with Stroman other than trot him out for another start? The definition of insanity kicked in a couple of weeks ago.

.

There's certainly something to be said about how a city's teams perform under years of pressure.. The Jays' playoff run last year arguably helped ease the pressure off the Raps' season a bit, and maybe challenged them too.

No Martin. No Tulo. Anyone know what the injuries are?

Dickey starting means no Martin and I'm just assuming today is a rest day for Tulo.

No Jose, Tulo and Martin makes our lineup look a lot less intimidating. Here's to hoping we get good Dickey tonight.

Thanks. Didn't check for Dickey, but Thole played for RM last night too so I assumed he was hurt. At least he got on base 3 times.

Reasonably average.

The one that's been a valuable pitcher for 3+ years for this team.

Everytime I turn to the game I see an Indian barreling up Dickey

I guess it's encouraging that Shapiro and Atkins built this impressive team on a limited budget.

You do realize that Dickey has an ERA of 3.25 since May 1st?
