The Indians have a runner on second down one, with 0 outs in the ninth and bunt with one of their best hitters of late to advance their best base runner. While facing a high strikeout and walk pitcher, to set up their least effective hitter all year for the one chance at a sac fly. It was pretty much, the definition of outdated approaches leading to a losing effort. It was par for the course for a team that bunts more than most National League teams. Luckily, all the other top wild card teams lost as well. The second half of the show we take about some prospects to know for the end of the season.

The Indians traded Trevor Bauer to the Reds and got back five players. They got more than I ever could have dreamed. The Reds I am not sure what they are doing at this point, and the Padres traded assets to get a player who could help them in a Thor trade down the line.

The Indians aren't playing or trading right now. The deadline is 37 hours away as I record, and Monday was a day where two very minor deals occurred. I explain why a Bauer to the Yankees deal makes no sense. I go in-depth on a system that I think is one of the bottom five in baseball along with two questionable trade assets. Then I look at the two long term players who might make sense to the Tribe Domingo Santana and Trey Mancini.
