God damn it Choo.

And Matt Joyce is quickly becoming the bane of Indians existence.

by **Lokais** » Thu May 12, 2011 1:26 pm

If I have to hear the phrase "Choo didn't get a good read" one more fucking time, I think I might honestly lose it.

by **Am I Here Again?** » Thu May 12, 2011 1:28 pm

Just got the game on and I see the bases getting loaded with no one out??? :gah:

Think I'll go bake something...or drink. Heck, if the bases are loaded why can't I be too?

by **peeker643** » Thu May 12, 2011 1:37 pm

Masterson just looks like he's rushing everything and not staying behind the ball. He's all over the place.

4-0 deficit against a guy who's pitching well is not the optimal beginning here at all.

Time for the bats to bail out the arms.

Is the leg kick/ arm slot staying consistent? That seemed to be an issue last year.

Too fast. He's flying open.

Way to turn 2. The ESPN Gamecast isn't terrible.

by **Erie Warrior** » Thu May 12, 2011 1:54 pm

The pitch chart was showing him miss up and away, so that makes sense. OR he was just trying to stay away from Joyce in general.

Try the one from indians.com. It's way better.

Line drive at O-Cab with runner going.

Masterson fooling few and lefties are still hurting him.

LaPorta and Hannahan saw four pitches total for their two outs. It's like the Tribe is in a hurry to get to a BBQ after this game.

Thank god the Tigers traded him out of the division.

by **peeker643** » Thu May 12, 2011 1:58 pm

And Brantley singles and then is promptly and easily picked off first. About an 11-pitch inning for Shields.

Where was Sandy on that play? Must be slow with the "BACKK!!!!"

by **Commodore Perry** » Thu May 12, 2011 2:00 pm

Well we were due for an ugly patch sooner or later. Hopefully it won't last long. And at least its coming against the Rays.

Good looking out.

by **British_Pharaoh** » Thu May 12, 2011 2:07 pm

Tampa Bay have really taken thier opportunities. Masterson has only allowed 1 XBH so this start doesn't worry me

Shileds has great footwork. Issue was Brantley didn't respect the move or the quick feet and took too big a lead.

by **peeker643** » Thu May 12, 2011 2:09 pm

Choo continues to look like a drunken sot on both sides of the ball.

by **peeker643** » Thu May 12, 2011 2:11 pm

Boy, Shields is mixing in a devastating changeup to go with that 93 or 94mph fastball. Nice to see Santana lay off the change and hit the fastball hard to CF.

5 straight changes to Hafner.

by **Mr. X** » Thu May 12, 2011 2:37 pm

Longoria bunting? :thud:

by **British_Pharaoh** » Thu May 12, 2011 2:52 pm

A-Cab puts us on the board

by **British_Pharaoh** » Thu May 12, 2011 2:56 pm

Damn I thought that might just sneak over Zobrist's head for a home run

by **British_Pharaoh** » Thu May 12, 2011 3:01 pm

O-Cab 2 great swings with runners on base. Another RBI for Mr Fundamental

by **Erie Warrior** » Thu May 12, 2011 3:01 pm

Alright Cabby-O!!!!

by **British_Pharaoh** » Thu May 12, 2011 3:02 pm

Hey Sloth. You wanna try hitting in something other than an 0-2 count??

Alway getting himself in holes

by **British_Pharaoh** » Thu May 12, 2011 3:05 pm

How many times are we gonna get picked off before we wake up and stay alert on the base paths??

Great move from Shields though.

by **Mr. X** » Thu May 12, 2011 3:07 pm

Wow terrible call. Not even close to tagging him.

by **British_Pharaoh** » Thu May 12, 2011 3:08 pm

Nice to see the manager has given up on this game and left Durbin in.

by **Erie Warrior** » Thu May 12, 2011 3:11 pm

HAHA Longo gets hit again. Which Indian is the first to eat a fastball?

by **British_Pharaoh** » Thu May 12, 2011 3:13 pm

Can Durbin not be in the game please?

by **Erie Warrior** » Thu May 12, 2011 3:13 pm

Is Turd Durbin allergic to the strike zone?

by **British_Pharaoh** » Thu May 12, 2011 3:16 pm

OK now let's do some more damage!!

by **British_Pharaoh** » Thu May 12, 2011 3:20 pm

Duncan is such a fuck up

Longoria must had been horrible at dodgeball in grade school.

If they're going to hit an Indian I expect the benches to clear. Remember we still have Sloth. He's a beast.

He'll bust out a hook slide and ruin the entire TB team.

by **Erie Warrior** » Thu May 12, 2011 3:47 pm

Love the fight.

Not so much the K

by **British_Pharaoh** » Thu May 12, 2011 3:51 pm

Rays getting some Angels luck

by **Erie Warrior** » Thu May 12, 2011 3:53 pm

Hit Longo again.

Well done Acta. Truly thrown this game away

by **peeker643** » Thu May 12, 2011 3:56 pm

That'll about do it.

by **RedDawg53** » Thu May 12, 2011 3:56 pm

Looks like the fans are beginning to leave.

Yeah, should had hit Eva again...

by **British_Pharaoh** » Thu May 12, 2011 3:57 pm

Pitch to Longoria with 1st base open.

That's new

by **Erie Warrior** » Thu May 12, 2011 3:58 pm

Told ya they should have hit him.

by **Kingpin74** » Thu May 12, 2011 3:59 pm

Glad we only see this squad three more times after today.

by **Erie Warrior** » Thu May 12, 2011 4:00 pm

Not even a get-me-over fastball for a strike? Rubbish.

Seriously.. fucker needs to stop telling Choo and Santana to strike out. And teach his players to not get picked off.

by **Erie Warrior** » Thu May 12, 2011 4:01 pm

Rally hats.

by **Erie Warrior** » Thu May 12, 2011 4:03 pm

If anyone can blow this, it's Farnsworth.

by **British_Pharaoh** » Thu May 12, 2011 4:04 pm

Smith recovers well but Manny is Sgt Bilko in a league of General Macarthurs
