Carrasco looks sharp. Good to know he only needed one rehab start.

by **Erie Warrior** » Wed May 11, 2011 8:10 pm

Warm up Breslow

by **bookelly** » Wed May 11, 2011 8:12 pm

Please walk Longoria.

by **bookelly** » Wed May 11, 2011 8:13 pm

Strike him out I mean.

by **statmasta** » Wed May 11, 2011 8:13 pm

Great pitch.

by **skatingtripods** » Wed May 11, 2011 8:14 pm

Terrific job to get out of it. Nice work Carlos.

by **statmasta** » Wed May 11, 2011 8:14 pm

Well that was a nice finish to what could have been a disastrous inning.

by **Erie Warrior** » Wed May 11, 2011 8:14 pm

Big out

Good Job to buckle down

I'm thinking this is a throw-away game. The way Carrasco started this game it might be a good thing the computer is acting up tonight. Might flush the game and have Mr. Microchip clean my baby out.

IMO they hurried Carrasco back. Jeanmar was pitching better than Carrasco is doing tonight. Of course "it's early". Maybe he'll figure it out before the game might get away. Or (as the top of the first comes to an end) the defense will save his hiney. Fingers crossed!

When Talbot gets back I'd like to see Carrasco be sent down to keep Alex White in the rotation.

Was that ball fair?

by **skatingtripods** » Wed May 11, 2011 8:34 pm

He's throwing a ton of sliders tonight.

by **Erie Warrior** » Wed May 11, 2011 8:34 pm

Hit by a guy who was 3-50. Of course.

Price has a perfect game going. This post should fix that.

by **statmasta** » Wed May 11, 2011 8:59 pm

Carlos Carrasco is not a good pitcher. That is all.

by **skatingtripods** » Wed May 11, 2011 9:00 pm

Why would you give us an out with that bunt? Everything's getting hit hard off Carrasco and they're having no trouble pulling him.

Make a pitch here and get the DP.

by **RedDawg53** » Wed May 11, 2011 9:07 pm

LaPorta

that showed signs of Ben Broussard all over that. You deserve a cheeseburger for that Matty

by **statmasta** » Wed May 11, 2011 9:07 pm

Cabrera's got to get that ball.

by **RedDawg53** » Wed May 11, 2011 9:09 pm

Gotta make better plays than that with Price on the mound.

by **statmasta** » Wed May 11, 2011 9:09 pm

Is anybody getting up in the 'pen, yet?

by **RedDawg53** » Wed May 11, 2011 9:23 pm

I wonder if Sizemore is even in the park. Could be used to break up the perfect game or no hitter. PERFECT GAME/NO HITTER. gotta jynx Price here.

by **bookelly** » Wed May 11, 2011 9:30 pm

We were due for an ugly night.

by **Am I Here Again?** » Wed May 11, 2011 9:31 pm

Hammy will be back in half an inning. He'll say the Magical Mantra "No Hitter" enough that Price HAS to blow it!

edit: We beat Hammy to it! :woot:

by **davemanddd** » Wed May 11, 2011 9:32 pm

good bye perfect game!!! ;-) ;) :wink:

by **davemanddd** » Wed May 11, 2011 9:33 pm

now let's break up the shut-out too!!! :thumb up:

Make that "perfect game". Whatever, Carlos took care of both stats with that one swing.

by **davemanddd** » Wed May 11, 2011 9:36 pm

boy, that b-lineup is really doing wonders now, huh boys??? just love that austin kearns. yeah buddy, he's got hall-of-famer written all over him. wahoo!!!

yeah sure, no problem. i see no problem in giving credit where credit is due. now if they come back and win this game, i want credit for that, ok??? hee-hee!!!

by **Am I Here Again?** » Wed May 11, 2011 9:38 pm

Rosy's comment about "Duncan couldn't do much about that". Well YEAH he could have swung at it and at least looked like he was trying. Jerk.......(you may apply <that to Rosy or Duncan, your choice).

If we score a single run, I can see this team coming back. Wasn't it 2 years ago the Tribe came back from 7-8 run in the bottom of the 9th against the Rays?

Edit: and yes you will get credit. :thumb up:

by **statmasta** » Wed May 11, 2011 10:01 pm

So...what logic is there to keep Carrasco in the majors?

If they keep him up here and send White down, well.......they wouldn't do that, would they?

by **skatingtripods** » Wed May 11, 2011 10:11 pm

No surprise with tonight's outcome. Price is nasty against everybody. With our LHP lineup in there, we're lucky to scratch out 2 runs.

by **Erie Warrior** » Wed May 11, 2011 10:21 pm

Steaming pile tonight boys.

Turd Durbin time!!!

Except at this point we've scratched out only two hits. *sigh*

Why is it that every time Hammy says the count is "TwoTwo" I picture this:

That is SO wrong!

by **RedDawg53** » Wed May 11, 2011 10:27 pm

fooled was Fuld by that

by **skatingtripods** » Wed May 11, 2011 10:29 pm

I wish Matt LaPorta was intelligent enough to hit the ball to RF more often.

by **skatingtripods** » Wed May 11, 2011 10:30 pm

He makes 97 on the black look so easy. Wow.

by **Am I Here Again?** » Wed May 11, 2011 11:07 pm

Ballgame. *sigh* Had to end sometime... :thud:

He's the 4th outfielder who plays twice a week and has 47 total at bats. He's not supposed to be good; get over it. Just thank your lucky stars we got Zach McAllister by trading him last year. Since we got Kearns back, if the price of that trade is only having to watch him play 7-8 times a month, so be it.

Nothing wrong losing to Price, especially after squeaking out a game they had no business winning last night. We knew this stretch was going to be brutal going into the West Coast swing and though the bats have been quiet, that's to be expected against the murderer's row of pitchers the Indians have gone against. When you're facing Cahill, Anderson, Weaver, Haren, and Price in an 8 game stretch, I'll take 4-4 all year long. I could easily foresee those guys finishing as the top 5 in Cy Young voting in some order. And it only gets slightly easier with James Shields on the hill tonight. Gonna be fun watching the duel between him and ol' Bat Masterson. :guns:
