Good sign for Carrasco that he can't put away a career .227 hitter with 159 K in 573 AB.

Not enough strike 1s for Carrasco. Fallen behind 3 of the 4 hitters so far

by **British_Pharaoh** » Sun Apr 24, 2011 3:32 pm

CC made that harder than it needed to be.

by **British_Pharaoh** » Sun Apr 24, 2011 3:36 pm

Grady and Orlando are the only ones who have looked like a Major league hitter in this series

It seemed to be a combo of him missing and the ump's zone, He had 2 or 3 that were borderline that he didnt get that put him in some bad counts, but he still has to put them away and battle back.

by **skatingtripods** » Sun Apr 24, 2011 3:45 pm

That was the hardest hit single I've ever seen.

by **peeker643** » Sun Apr 24, 2011 3:48 pm

Nicely turned. Nick Pavano for a couple here and get a lead.

by **Dnthateonthepronk** » Sun Apr 24, 2011 3:48 pm

Good inning bY Carlos

by **British_Pharaoh** » Sun Apr 24, 2011 4:00 pm

Hahaha you run on Choo you get BURNED!!!!!!!!!!

by **skatingtripods** » Sun Apr 24, 2011 4:01 pm

Casilla has a brutal baseball IQ. Nice throw by Choo.

by **British_Pharaoh** » Sun Apr 24, 2011 4:03 pm

That was clever

by **British_Pharaoh** » Sun Apr 24, 2011 4:05 pm

The worst offense in the majors is undoing all the progress the pitching has made since last season.

by **British_Pharaoh** » Sun Apr 24, 2011 4:11 pm

I think with O-Cab at the plate we should be thinking hit and run

he has good numbers against Pavano and will likely get the ball in play

by **British_Pharaoh** » Sun Apr 24, 2011 4:12 pm

Or not

I am loving the Cabrera signing

what a consummate professional gamer

by **British_Pharaoh** » Sun Apr 24, 2011 4:13 pm

Brantl;ey!!!!!!!!!!!! What a sexy mother f***er

by **dazindiansfanuk** » Sun Apr 24, 2011 4:13 pm

Big blast for Brantley!!!!!!!!

by **dazindiansfanuk** » Sun Apr 24, 2011 4:14 pm

That's getting overturned if they go and look at it.

by **British_Pharaoh** » Sun Apr 24, 2011 4:15 pm

He'll be brought back to second base but still gives us the lead

by **dazindiansfanuk** » Sun Apr 24, 2011 4:27 pm

Hmmmmm.... little CC hurt?!

by **British_Pharaoh** » Sun Apr 24, 2011 4:29 pm

Traitor was out at second

by **British_Pharaoh** » Sun Apr 24, 2011 4:31 pm

Why bring in Gomez when we have a lead??

I can only think that CC tweaked his ankle on the mound when he slipped in his delivery

by **British_Pharaoh** » Sun Apr 24, 2011 4:39 pm

Need to drop Santana down in the lineup

by **British_Pharaoh** » Sun Apr 24, 2011 4:45 pm

walk a scrub like Kubel to get to Morneau?
That's new

by **British_Pharaoh** » Sun Apr 24, 2011 4:50 pm

Gomez was leaving a lot of pitches up, but he manages to throw a couple of scoreless frames. We need at least another couple of runs.

by **British_Pharaoh** » Sun Apr 24, 2011 4:52 pm

Pop ups make me want to kick puppies into ceiling fans

by **British_Pharaoh** » Sun Apr 24, 2011 4:54 pm

Our approach this series at the plate hasn't been great.

by **dazindiansfanuk** » Sun Apr 24, 2011 5:06 pm

Ah crap.... right elbow tightness for Carlos!

by **British_Pharaoh** » Sun Apr 24, 2011 5:12 pm

Rafa better throw strikes for a change

by **British_Pharaoh** » Sun Apr 24, 2011 5:19 pm

Well done dickhead

Perez threw a strike alright.....

by **tribeloverinnewyork** » Sun Apr 24, 2011 5:23 pm

Let's see if Choo and Santana can raise those Mendoza line batting averages so Pronk can pick up a few RBIs!

by **British_Pharaoh** » Sun Apr 24, 2011 5:32 pm

A bit of luck for a change

by **British_Pharaoh** » Sun Apr 24, 2011 5:32 pm

Hit and run please

by **dazindiansfanuk** » Sun Apr 24, 2011 5:33 pm

Deja vu?

A Santana walk and a Hafner bloop single lead to our 3 runs earlier in the game.

by **tribeloverinnewyork** » Sun Apr 24, 2011 5:33 pm

The table is set for our two clutch hitters!

Hoey throws smoke but I think we can get to him.

by **tribeloverinnewyork** » Sun Apr 24, 2011 5:43 pm

I don't get it.....why would you run for Hafner there? He is the trail runner!!!!

by **dazindiansfanuk** » Sun Apr 24, 2011 5:51 pm

tribeloverinnewyork wrote:I don't get it.....why would you run for Hafner there? He is the trail runner!!!!

Because he was the go-ahead run I guess..... hit and a gap and take the lead with Everett running.

by **tribeloverinnewyork** » Sun Apr 24, 2011 5:51 pm

One last chance guys. Will Duncan pinch hit for Hannahan?

by **tribeloverinnewyork** » Sun Apr 24, 2011 5:56 pm

This losing stuff sucks. Maybe some home cooking on Tuesday will do the trick!

by **Cerebral_DownTime** » Sun Apr 24, 2011 6:02 pm

We need to get Choo going.

by **skatingtripods** » Sun Apr 24, 2011 8:10 pm

5 different series in 5 different cities and 3 different time zones. After being on such a high for so long, I think the team's a little tired overall. 5 guys have played in either 19 or all 20 games.

Coming home will help them. 7-2 at home. Take 2 of 3 from KC and go from there.

A day off at home tomorrow will be good for them. A chance to spend a little time with their families (if they're here) and relax at home.

by **Rat_Tail** » Mon Apr 25, 2011 1:55 am

Ups and downs. Hopefully we will learn to win when things don't go our way.

Still having a 1.5 game lead over Detroit and KC makes these losses hurt a lot less.

But can someone explain what is up with Target Field's RF wall?

If you hit it under that section that sticks out it's a homer but if it hits the section that sticks out (which is higher) it's not? I mean who the fuck designed that and why haven't they changed the ruling on balls that hit the higher wall?

by **Prosecutor** » Mon Apr 25, 2011 12:37 pm

Tough loss. One inch farther on Brantley's double and it's a 4-4 game. If Hanahan's liner to center in the 9th is a foot shorter it drops in and he scores on Grady's double. Then there was Orly's error...

Then again, if two Twins hadn't run through stop signs at 3rd base the Tribe would not have been in a position to win in the 9th. The Twins got away with one.

We're starting to see cracks in the bullpen. A blown save by C. Perez against the Royals, then the last two games against the Twins. And now we might have to bring up another starter from Columbus. It's not looking good. Tribe is 3-8 against the A.L. Central so far. They need to have a good series against the Royals. Fortunately Masterson and Tomlin are due to pitch and they have been our two best starters.

You know, ever since he was told he wouldn't have to serve that long stint in the military, he hasn't done squat. Maybe we can ask the South Koreans to reconsider the exemption? Or at least threaten to reconsider it?

It's not all doom and gloom yet. They are only 3-6 vs the AL Central

"It's not all doom and gloom yet. They are only 3-6 vs the AL Central"

Right, thanks for the correction. And six of those nine games were on the road, so yeah, it's not too bad yet. But they need to do better against the division.

The Tribe got lucky to get the Red Sox when they were struggling. The Sox have won five straight and 8 of 10.

Yeah, but they were struggling because we were beating them.
