Santana again? I love the guy but he's scuffling. Give the cat a break Acta.

by **skatingtripods** » Wed Apr 13, 2011 6:10 pm

If Manny can't see it, then I don't know what to say. Dude's trying to smash his way out of it and that's not how it works. I'm telling you, I'm 100% certain he was limping on those ground balls he hit yesterday. I wonder if that knee is hurt. He's swinging 100% arms right now and his legs should be the driving force behind his cuts.

I don't know if this is Acta's way of tough love, or showing the kid that it's a grind, but for christ sake, give the kid a couple days off.

Maybe with the day off tomorrow Manny decided to play Carlos anyway.

I think it was that last game against the Red Sox that he slid feet-first into 2nd base on a steal and he was walking with a slight limp off the field. Dunno if that was the start of anything, but it had me worried.

by **Jumbo** » Wed Apr 13, 2011 8:15 pm

Nice start for Carrasco getting that first K.

by **statmasta** » Wed Apr 13, 2011 8:16 pm

I don't remember Carrasco ever having movement on his fastball. It was always a straight fastball.

He has a good bit of tailing movement on it tonight, though. I like it.

by **statmasta** » Wed Apr 13, 2011 8:16 pm

LaPorta is very, very good at digging balls in the dirt.

I'm pretty sure Manny Acta knows his players better than you do.

Sharp start for Carlos.

by **bookelly** » Wed Apr 13, 2011 8:31 pm

Nice catch

by **British_Pharaoh** » Wed Apr 13, 2011 8:43 pm

Nasty habit of walking the bottom of the order for cc

by **Jumbo** » Wed Apr 13, 2011 8:46 pm

Another solid inning for Carrasco.

by **British_Pharaoh** » Wed Apr 13, 2011 8:46 pm

Quick game so far

by **statmasta** » Wed Apr 13, 2011 8:46 pm

The adjustment Carrasco has made has been up and down so far, but I think in the long run it's a great change. He still looks much better than I've ever seen him.

by **Jumbo** » Wed Apr 13, 2011 8:48 pm

Ok, I predict that this is the inning where Choo and Santana get it going!

by **Jumbo** » Wed Apr 13, 2011 8:50 pm

CHOOOOOO with the steal. Time to knock him in!

:clap:

by **dazindiansfanuk** » Wed Apr 13, 2011 8:56 pm

Damn... poor execution there!

by **Jumbo** » Wed Apr 13, 2011 8:57 pm

Squandered.

by **British_Pharaoh** » Wed Apr 13, 2011 9:00 pm

What?

by **Jumbo** » Wed Apr 13, 2011 9:00 pm

Now that's a fail.

by **dazindiansfanuk** » Wed Apr 13, 2011 9:00 pm

That's just not pretty

by **rebelwithoutaclue** » Wed Apr 13, 2011 9:00 pm

My god. I thought we stopped doing shit like that.

by **JacksonDysonJackson** » Wed Apr 13, 2011 9:02 pm

Can't let this inning blow up now

by **JacksonDysonJackson** » Wed Apr 13, 2011 9:03 pm

Jesus...spoke too soon. I'll go back to the Browns forum.

by **Jumbo** » Wed Apr 13, 2011 9:03 pm

First serious Inning of Crap since the second game of the season.

by **dazindiansfanuk** » Wed Apr 13, 2011 9:03 pm

How quickly a should've been 2-0 lead can turn into a 3-1 defecit.

by **rebelwithoutaclue** » Wed Apr 13, 2011 9:03 pm

Too late. Carrasco has already imploded. Walk followed by a pitch that I could have taken out of the park.

by **Jumbo** » Wed Apr 13, 2011 9:14 pm

Wow! That was...unexpected.

by **British_Pharaoh** » Wed Apr 13, 2011 9:14 pm

Brantley looks dangerous every time

puts great swing soon the ball every appearance and has a great eye

by **JacksonDysonJackson** » Wed Apr 13, 2011 9:15 pm

That was....really close

by **bookelly** » Wed Apr 13, 2011 9:15 pm

Nice job Mike!

by **British_Pharaoh** » Wed Apr 13, 2011 9:15 pm

Way to help the opposition A-Cab

by **Erie Warrior** » Wed Apr 13, 2011 9:16 pm

Just got in. Way to go Brantley.

by **skatingtripods** » Wed Apr 13, 2011 9:24 pm

I heard Acta say on the pregame that Santana's jumping out after the ball and trying to hit his way out of it with one swing.

Pretty sure that's about what I said.

by **JacksonDysonJackson** » Wed Apr 13, 2011 9:25 pm

Nice inning by Carrasco...couldn't afford giving up any runs there

by **British_Pharaoh** » Wed Apr 13, 2011 9:31 pm

Get him in!!!

by **statmasta** » Wed Apr 13, 2011 9:33 pm

Where exactly did Shin-Soo Choo think he was going?

by **Jumbo** » Wed Apr 13, 2011 9:33 pm

It's like all the fundamental mistakes we missed the past 10 games are coming back tonight.

by **skatingtripods** » Wed Apr 13, 2011 9:33 pm

by **dazindiansfanuk** » Wed Apr 13, 2011 9:33 pm

Damn, the Tribe trying to find ways to lose this one.

by **bookelly** » Wed Apr 13, 2011 9:33 pm

It doesn't bother me that they're losing, but it bothers me that they're playing like idiots.

by **JacksonDysonJackson** » Wed Apr 13, 2011 9:34 pm

Would love to know what was going through Choo's head on that one

by **dazindiansfanuk** » Wed Apr 13, 2011 9:34 pm

statmasta wrote:Where exactly did Shin-Soo Choo think he was going?

I can only assume he was going on contact and, with the infield in, he was trying to get a big a lead as possible.

Poor play.

by **Erie Warrior** » Wed Apr 13, 2011 9:35 pm

One run game, ManRam on third base. WTF?

by **dazindiansfanuk** » Wed Apr 13, 2011 9:39 pm

With the exception of the meatball to Hunter, Carrasco's thrown the ball pretty well. He's got a little wild to a couple of hitters, but it's hard to argue with 6 innings of 3 run ball.

by **rebelwithoutaclue** » Wed Apr 13, 2011 9:41 pm

OK, they're shaving points(runs). This is ridiculous. Did Wedge find his way into Angels stadium somehow?
