re: DAT 5/20: Indians (Clevinger) vs. Astros (Fiers), 3:10 CDT

Morning gents. My thoughts about yesterday/today:

1. I shouldn't have to say this, but there's obviously no need to panic. We lost one game against a really good team last night. Sure we've lost 3 of 4 to them this year, but they are the best team in the AL IMO. I guarantee you these 2 teams will meet in the ALCS.

2. It sucks that Keuchel is going to the DL, but we must thank our lucky stars that it isn't serious. He'll likely only miss one start, and it could have been much much worse.

3. With the Indians hitting 3 HRs off of Morton last night, expect those numbers to double against Fiers. We're going to have to score A LOT of runs today if we want to win this game.

4. Right now, Aoki needs to sit the bench for a few games. I really do like Aoki, but he's struggling a bit. He has no power, little speed, and he's not a tremendous hitter. His best thing is getting on base and he hasn't done that lately. Should replace him with Marisnick. At least he has been spreading it across the field when he bats.

5. How the frick does Bauer continue to dominate us? He's so fricking bad against everyone else, with like a 7.00 ERA this year, yet in his career he has about a 2.50-2.60 ERA against us? I don't fricking get it.

Either way, today's a new day and even though we have the Home Run King Fiers on the mound today, I still think we get back to winning today.
