I think that’s the right play. My only concern is Kluber. I think Twins would have to get most of them to go over. I tend to stay away from totals, especially unders early on because hitting tends to come around before pitching early on. Either way GL tonight and this season

Always respected Tips thoughts in the past. Far from an expert here. More like a disgruntled fan. I do like the idea of having team threads on here. I’m typically in and out throughout the baseball season. Hopefully everybody will contribute is the plan. I think Indians are a interesting team this year as IMO they are much overrated and think there’s good money to be made. With the pitching staff and lack of bats I think unders will be a big hit overall. I thought we needed another piece or 2 last year and instead of adding they actually subtracted. Losing Brantley to me was the biggest loss we had. Replacing Edwin and Yonder for Carlos is a joke imo. Hopefully the Bauer’s kid can produce in the outfield. Perez is a downgrade over Gomes as a bat. I’ve never been a huge Jose fan and even with Frankie believe when I tell you there is a black cloud over this team, Dolan didn’t do himself any favors with his latest comments. I listen to local Cle sports talk radio probably 6-10 hours a day and people are pissed off. Then losing Cody Allen and Miller.. Brian Shaw the year before that. I do worry about Hand closing. I think he’s a perfect set up going honestly. Gl everyone

Outfield as whole IMO , Bauer’s unknown, Naquin hasn’t lived up to rookie year. Greg Allen I don’t think is a everyday outfielder. Carlos Gonzalez kind of a wild card. Zimmer was supposed to be the next Grady Sizemore(well I guess he kind of is for the wrong reasons). With Brantley we still were short but at least had a solid everyday piece to work around. Basically I’m not sure ANY of our outfielders are even everyday starters and the infield we are throwin out there with Frankie and Kip (who I can’t stand) is a joke.

I hit twinks but went w the playing under strategy again. Did not expect twinks to rock Carrasco like they did. Tribe better be careful, it early but I don’t think they gonna have the free ride to win the central they accustomed to. Think the twins have made some good moves and will build off the strong season they had 2 years ago. Picking up cruz gonna be huge cause they really needed some more pop. Think Pineda could be big for the rotation but what happened today? He was pitching well, did he get hurt or they just being cautious?

For what it’s worth I’m up in a cleveland right now and there’s about a half foot of snow in the ground that came down over night. Local radio just had head of stadium grounds crew. Says the game will go as scheduled. They worked all night to get snow off field and now finishing w all the ice. It is sunny but cold. Fans are already out partying

40 pitches tho? You can’t have him starting if that the case.
TRoe15
Pretty much a regular
I would guess that the count gets higher throughout the course of the year. That was his first start since July 5, 2017. According to the Star Tribune, it was prearranged that he would be taken out after a certain amount of pitches (or innings, doesn't really specify).

You maybe on to something. The bulllen can’t blow it and the hitters will struggle first time seeing pitcher. I actually ended up playing the over yesterday but was no thought into it. Was just pumped up for the opener and wanted to watch. Better to be lucky sometimes lol. Definitely will be watching 1st 5 under going forward

Glad someone cashed! Lol.
Thought I was made in the shade when it was 1-0 in 7th, then Sox got those 3 runs and while I started to sweat it a little was still thinking even if tribe came back might sneak under w a 4-3 game. All I needed was sox relievers to throw strikes!! Apparently that was too much to hope for, lol.,
I just looked back at Sunday’s game, I was thinking the FF under cashed there but twins got all those runs in bottom of 5th.. has tribe pen really fallen off or are those ugly numbers just a case of it still being incredibly early?

So over the last couple weeks I’ve basically been playing Tribe TT under , TT F5 under and fade the ML. Was 3-0 last night. I can’t even tell you the last day in which it didn’t make a profit. 5 outta last 6 days have been 3-0 sweeps. I’ve noticed the juice is starting to get higher and higher on the TT but gonna keep riding until proven otherwise. All 3 again today

My quarter season take is I’m not surprised but actually worse than I initially thought. I have a future for Minny winning the Central but thought it would play out in Sept, not be over in May...Things are going to get worse before they get better. I listen to local sports talk damn near 24/7. All the talk is is let’s blow this up and get rid of these guys while we can. IMO Bieber and Clevinger have the best stuff on staff. Carrasco and Kluber are severely overrated, Bauer has good stuff but he can’t stay out of his own head. Talks on moving him are very real right now. They are going to have to make a move on Frankie sooner or later. Tito sounds defeated in every interview. Never seen a more overrated hitter over last 3 years than Jose. I’m pleasantly surprised by the Luplow kid. Still up on air on Bauer’s. When you’re relying on guys like that though makes for a long season. Going to be a lot of prospects getting called up in next month or 2. Like I said at start of season. Fade fade fade while you can

1-2 last night. Lost both totals by half a run. Actually taking the totals off tonight and only playing Boston. Watching yesterday, was he first time in a long time I seen Tito manage a game like he did back in 2016. Lots of running, sac bunts etc. Was the only reason I lost those bets, I think he needs to do that more with this team. Zach Plesak is making his debut for the Tribe tonight. I’d be lying if I said I’m familiar with him. Don’t think he throws too hard but does have good stuff from what I’ve read. Decent size guy. Tough place to make your first start but this is an obvious move to see what we have if and when we move Bauer. Sticking to Boston ML tonight , also have Boston Parlayed with a couple other favs.
