Most consecutive plate appearances with a strikeout (by position players), franchise history 2016 Mike Napoli - 8 2022 Franmil Reyes - 8 2001 Jim Thome - 7 2020 Sandy Leon - 7 2022 Yu Chang - 7 Gabriel Arias is currently sitting on 6

Arias rode the bench tonight, so he’ll have to wait another day to chase history.

Yeah the White Sox are winning this division. This is a team of destiny type of season they’re having.

Jason Kipnis is a good analyst but he talks way too much for radio

Gabriel Arias holds the franchise record among position players for the most 0-fors with a strikeout in every plate appearance. Legend.

Most games striking out in every plate appearance (min 3 PA), team history Addie Joss, 9 (pitcher) Gabriel Arias, 6 Otto Hess, 5 (p) Earl Moore, 5 (p) Bob Feller, 5 (p) Pedro Ramos, 5 (p) Cory Snyder, 5 Russell Branyan, 5 Austin Hedge, 5 Franmil Reyes, 5

Weird headline the morning after we scored 5 runs off their pen

Players with at least 5 PA to strike out every time in franchise history 2026 - Gabriel Arias 2021 - Daniel Johnson 1977 - Rick Manning 1948 - Larry Doby 1904 - Bill Bernhard

Komminsk had 8 HR in Cleveland. Two were walkoffs, on Aug. 22 and Aug. 29, 1989

Been working on this project for awhile and finally finished it up. Every instance of back-to-back home runs in team history clevelandbaseballhistory.com/back-to-back...

The first time Cleveland hit 3 HR in a row (June 25, 1939) they almost made it four according to Gordon Cobbledick in the PD. They eventually did hit 4 in a row in 1963, but the 1961 Braves beat them to it. It's been done 11 times now.

Every player Jose Ramirez has participated in back-to-back HR with: Juan Uribe Mike Napoli Tyler Naquin Austin Jackson Michael Brantley x2 Edwin Encarnacion Jordan Luplow Jason Kipnis Franmil Reyes Oscar Gonzalez Josh Naylor x5 Josh Bell Lane Thomas Angel Martinez Kyle Manzardo x3

Guards have held Yordan Alvarez to 1-7 this series so far, allowing Yandy Diaz to jump him for the batting title lead.

This was how bad Altuve got beat chasing a double on Kwan's throw.

That’s 4 for Bazzana!

We’ve entered random number generator lineup mode with all these injuries.

Travis Bazzana has 3 HR since moving into the leadoff spot. Here's the franchise rookie leaderboard for HR from the leadoff spot: 2022 Steven Kwan, 5 2002 Chris Magruder, 4 1992 Kenny Lofton, 4 1984 Joe Carter, 4 1971 Buddy Bell, 4

Tough matchup against Spencer Arrighetti tonight. Astros are 9-2 in Arrighetti's starts, 27-39 for all their other starters.

I played with the Mariners a lot on MVP 2005 and thought Jeremy Reed was gonna be great. He was eventually involved in the three-way trade that brought Joe Smith and Luis Valbuena to Cleveland.

No. 31 looks weird on Kahlil Watson. Thats always a pitchers number, at least in Cleveland. Josh Naylor (only in 2020), Mark Little (2004) and Dave Winfield (1995) are the only other position players to wear it since 1990. Last position player to wear it multiple seasons was Wayne Cage in 78-79

Ahhh Manzardo has back tightness. Switched to DH. So wonder if Ingle is held out of the lineup in case a move is needed? This team can't take anymore injuries.

i do think it is important to keep hammering home that this is clayton kershaw’s legacy. he started this. and MLB refusing to punish him for it is the direct cause of what we’re seeing now. they all think they are invincible.

I'm still laughing at this Daniel Espino curveball yesterday. You can clearly see David Hamilton knows the scouting report is 💯⛽️ and the slow hook just freezes him. When you throw a hundo and a 90 slidepiece, this is just a devastating strike stealer.

Last night's game provided a bunch of good notes, but I think this is my favorite clevelandbaseballhistory.com/grand-slam-p...

Daniel Schneeman is the 46th player to hit multiple grand slams in a season for Cleveland. Most of them are who you would expect but here are a few other randoms: 2018 Yonder Alonso 2004 Ben Broussard 2002 Milton Bradley 2002 Karim Garcia 2000 David Segui 1961 Bubba Phillips 1957 Chico Carrasquel

Gavin Williams tied the franchise record for leadoff HR allowed last night. Here are the best notes I could find on the team's leadoff HR records clevelandbaseballhistory.com/leadoff-home...

Erik Sabrowski has a 1.43 ERA through 66 career games. The only other pitcher in the last 100 years with a lower ERA at that point in his career was Jonathan Papelbon. The previous Cleveland record was 1.85 by Don Mossi clevelandbaseballhistory.com/14470-2/

This Cavs draft class was arguably the most important draft for any team in NBA history. Gund had already bought the team, saving them from the proposed Cavs/Pacers merger, but the sustainability of the franchise still looked bleak. Enter Brad Daugherty, Ron Harper and Mark Price…

Brewers reliever Aaron Ashby is the first pitcher to 10 wins in the majors this year.

I miss seeing simple baseball leaderboards in the newspaper and the websites that publish them are needlessly crowded and usually loaded with ads. So I made something simple ryanmccrystal.github.io/baseball-sta...

Trying to stay optimistic, so one positive from Ramirez's injury is the defense likely gets upgrade at 3B. Over the last three years, Schneeman ranks 12th out of 95 qualified 3B in Statcast's Outs Above Average metric. That's a cumulative stat, so ranking that high as backup is really impressive

Welp. So much for tracking this development

In the All-Star Game era (1933), only 10 players at age 33 or older have reached 30 SB before the break. Jose Ramirez is at 24 (currently tied for team record with 2016 Rajai Davis)

That's Cade Smith's 19th consecutive save. There have only been 12 streaks of 20+ in team history. Mesa (x2), Wickman (x2), Hand (x2), Clase (x2), Jackson, Jones, Allen and Perez. Mesa still holds the record at 38 straight.

Just saw this news. John Sanders was an excellent broadcaster. I was disappointed when the team let him go. www.wkyc.com/article/spor...
