Momentum has shifted to the Tribe. Momentum against one of the best setup men in the AL, one of the best closers and Josh Beckett?

Momentum has shifted to the Tribe. My husband just said the same thing. I don't have a good feeling about this game...

He (and others) puts it on his helmet so he'll always have a fresh supply at the plate.
Not that it is doing him any good lately, for crissake.

Yes, before and after pitches they touch their helmets.

I’m surprised the league allows that. It looks terrible.
