Typically the case when we lose.

Same here.

And w/what little Texas gave up to get Chapman, we shouldn't have to give up.much

The rotation is fine and doesn't need any upgrades.

Our last two losses have been by 1 run and on the road in extras. Not even worried about it dude.

Nope.

I'm not even mad at Rasiel. That wasn't a bad pitch that won the game for Cleveland.

Fry went down and hit a good pitch.

Two losses by one run on the road is nothing to be worried about.

I’d like to see AA go get some pen help though.

We need a closer and one other arm to where one of Yates or Jimenez isn't even thought of as a high-leverage option.

I also wonder if we try and swing a trade for a SS (Tim Anderson) and move Arcia into the UI/bench bat role if he continues to strike out at a high rate like he has for the last month.

He also has 200 more plate appearances batting lefty vs. righty. OPS difference is still almost 400 points as well.

He is fine switch-hitting.

I’m not saying he isn’t. My point was the 17 lefty versus the 5 righty was misleading. He has certainly improved his lefty approach from early in the year.

Dude don't start.

I just disagree that Arcia needs to be demoted. That's all.

Fair enough.

And all but 5 of his homers have come from the left side.

Well his OPS and whiff rate for the last month and a half suggest maybe he does.

Great that he made the All Star game and well deserved, but I think everyone knows that first month plus from him was an anomaly. If you can get a rental SS for cheap, why not?

If an obvious upgrade, such as Tim Anderson, is available in a year where you're a favorite to win a World Series, where's the downside to making that move?

An absolutely incredible stat from @OptaSTATS: Ronald Acuña Jr. is the first MLB player in the modern era to have a home run or stolen base in 13 straight games!
