Last night Frankie Lindor hit his thirty-first home run of the season, an incredible feat. His second base partner, jose Ramirez is not far behind. I believe the Indians have the best second base -shortstop combination in all of Baseball.

I am eager to see who is going to make the post season roster other than the obvious choices. Right now they have about seven outfield choices including Jason Kipnis. Are they going to stay with him in the outfield and have Yandy Diaz remain at third? Should Greg Allen get a spot in the outfield? We have six starting pitchers plus Ryan Merritt as a fill in. It is going to be interesting to see what the final roster looks like.

Now it seems hitting twenty or twenty-five home runs is the norm. You have to hit thirty or better to get noticed. I look at the Baltimore Orioles with just about everybody in the starting lineup with twenty or more home runs and they have only a slim chance of making the wild card. Pitching still rules in the Major Leagues.
