Bio
I am a Chicagoan working at a Big 4 Accounting firm. I have loved sports, especially fantasy sports and statistics, since I was a little kid. I'm a huge fan of the Cubs, and a big-time fantasy baseball and football player.

Latest News From Carmen
 | Jorge Polanco went 1-for-4 on Friday, hitting a three-run scoring double in the sixth inning. He was thrown out at third trying to leg out a triple. He also walked once and struck out twice in the 7-6 defeat. |
 | Yandy Diaz went 1-for-2 on Friday against the Red Sox, stroking a single and walking once. He scored once in the 7-5 defeat. |
 | Josh Donaldson launched a solo homer off of Chris Sale on Friday against the Red Sox, finishing the day with two hits and the one run and RBI. |
 | Edwin Encarnacion went 0-for-4 with four strikeouts in Friday's game against the Red Sox. The Tribe were defeated 7-5. |
 | Jose Ramirez went 1-for-4 on Friday against the Red Sox, hitting a sacrifice fly and driving in two runs. The Tribe lost 7-5. |
 | Shane Bieber was used as the second reliever in Friday's game against the Red Sox after Trevor Bauer started the game and Dan Otero cleaned up his mess. Bieber allowed six runs on eight hits and two walks, which was surprising given the Red Sox "skeleton" lineup after clinching the AL East. This rough appearance dropped his record to 10-5. |
 | Trevor Bauer returned from his fibula injury on Friday against the Red Sox, pitching 1 1/3 innings. He wasn't particularly effective, allowing two hits and a walk, but he did not allow any runs to score. He struck out one in the appearance. |
 | Josh Tomlin made a spot start for the Indians on Thursday, giving up four runs on eight hits over four innings. He struck out two in the outing and did not earn a decision after the White Sox won the game in the ninth. |
 | Brad Hand retired the White Sox on three strikeouts in the eighth inning on Thursday. The Tribe were defeated 5-4 after Adam Cimber gave up a run in the ninth in a tie ballgame. |
| Jose Ramirez had an unbelievable stat line (for the wrong reasons) on Thursday, as he went 0-for-6 with a strikeout. He left four men on base in the 5-4 defeat to the White Sox. |
