Oh yes !  They certainly were playing like a tired young team.  Need to get relaxed and back in the groove again.

Still  at 40 40  .500  half way through the season would be considered "ok" before the season  started.  What blows your mind is they swept MIN and LAD both 1st place teams on the road and get swept by lowly DET......go figure.   

Oh well they're the youngest by far look out next year but try to get it back into gear this year.  AND Tito is notorious for his second half teams.....maybe we're in for some surprises yet to come.

★★★  All-Star Weekend  and  Jose Ramirez some nice articles about his special time coming up.  ★★★

From mlb.com  and Mandy Bell

CLEVELAND -- This is the year José Ramírez knew he could finally get into the T-Mobile Home Run Derby.    ( just click on the link for more )

Ramírez had been invited in the past but said he could never make it work. This year, he was ready to accept the offer and was given the No. 5 seed, as he’s slated to face No. 4 seed Juan Soto in Round 1 on Monday night.

• Play HR Derby Bracket Challenge, compete to win 100 grand!

“It was a personal desire,” Ramírez said through team interpreter Agustin Rivero. “This year, it happened, and especially for my family. They want to cheer for me. Especially my mom. She wanted to see me there. I especially want to do it for my mom.”

Step 1: Get permission
Ramírez was sure to stop by manager Terry Francona’s office prior to making the decision, to double-check that his team was OK with his decision to enter the Home Run Derby  ---->  much more continued in the article  ---->

Oh and Tito and everyone else said. YES.

......and edit add,   Ramírez will become the sixth player to represent Cleveland at the Home Run Derby. Albert Belle was part of the fun from 1993-95, Manny Ramirez joined Belle in ‘95, Jim Thome was there in ‘97 and ‘98, Grady Sizemore broke the 10-year spell without a Cleveland player in 2008 and Carlos Santana participated in ‘19........
