Volquez will be good. But has only averaged under 6 innings an outing this year.
Pitched well last start vs. Cubs.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOM 2-1

by **dazindiansfanuk** » Sun May 22, 2011 2:21 pm

Drooooooooooooobs!

by **British_Pharaoh** » Sun May 22, 2011 2:22 pm

Choo is hot hot hot

by **redneckofsc** » Sun May 22, 2011 2:23 pm

Cabrera tied for 9th in RBI in all of MLB, tied for 11th in HR

by **British_Pharaoh** » Sun May 22, 2011 2:29 pm

Hahaha that was absolutely dreadful from the Reds

by **Mr. X** » Sun May 22, 2011 2:32 pm

Nice fundamental baseball there from the Red legs.

Come out throwing strikes please, Carlos.

by **Adverb Harry** » Sun May 22, 2011 2:32 pm

Wow. That was the kind of bungled play I'd have expected from the Indians the past few years. Nice to see it the other way around.

by **Cerebral_DownTime** » Sun May 22, 2011 2:33 pm

Ahahahaahaha! Did you see how stupid Brandon Phillips was? I'm so glad that asshole is gone.

What an idiot.

by **redneckofsc** » Sun May 22, 2011 2:34 pm

This team makes the 95 Indians look like the 2009 Indians.

by **statmasta** » Sun May 22, 2011 2:37 pm

Did Lou Marson just swing at the first pitch against Edinson Volquez? Please tell me that didn't happen.

by **Cerebral_DownTime** » Sun May 22, 2011 2:41 pm

WTF is it with young Tribe pitchers and finger ligaments?

by **British_Pharaoh** » Sun May 22, 2011 2:47 pm

Haha Tribe are just playing with Volquez now.

Fun fuun fun

by **British_Pharaoh** » Sun May 22, 2011 2:52 pm

Woooo!!! We're hitting again!!!

by **statmasta** » Sun May 22, 2011 3:14 pm

Lou Marson swung at 2 pitches out of the zone. Yuck. Should have been yet another walk.

by **statmasta** » Sun May 22, 2011 3:17 pm

Another run! Yipee!

by **statmasta** » Sun May 22, 2011 3:17 pm

Another run! Yipee!!

by **Cerebral_DownTime** » Sun May 22, 2011 3:18 pm

ACab is crushing for my fantasy team, just picked up Brantley too.

by **statmasta** » Sun May 22, 2011 3:18 pm

Let's all point and laugh at Edinson Volquez!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Man he's awful.

One of my least favorite players in the game........ and it's abecause of his face.

Losing patience with Carlos

He's got to at least run that out. Embarrassing that he can't even be bothered to try hard just because he's frustrated.

by **British_Pharaoh** » Sun May 22, 2011 3:48 pm

Those are best 3 pitches I have seen CC throw this season (regarding Drew Stubbs at bat to end the inning)

by **tired** » Sun May 22, 2011 4:05 pm

Brandon Phillips. Another reason why I hated Wedgie. He wasn't a grinder. Anybody remember who the tribe got for him ?

by **British_Pharaoh** » Sun May 22, 2011 4:09 pm

4-4 with 2 dingers

nice day at the office

by **dazindiansfanuk** » Sun May 22, 2011 4:09 pm

Drooobs!

by **OrganFreeman** » Sun May 22, 2011 4:09 pm

ACab rocks my World!

by **statmasta** » Sun May 22, 2011 4:09 pm

Asdrubal Cabrera is a fucking beast.

Best shortstop in the AL by far.

Jeff Stevens - who became Mark DeRosa - who became Chris Perez

(a couple of other players were involved in there too).

Thank you sir !!!

by **dazindiansfanuk** » Sun May 22, 2011 4:20 pm

Surprised Manny sent Carlos back out there at 98 pitches.

by **statmasta** » Sun May 22, 2011 4:25 pm

Asdrubal has 2 errors.....in one game?! Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat?

A rather circuitous route to getting a terrific closer. Guess the "third time" was the charm.

by **statmasta** » Sun May 22, 2011 4:29 pm

Durbin's getting a lot better. 1.00 ERA in May now.

by **Am I Here Again?** » Sun May 22, 2011 4:31 pm

I was just thinking that Durbin is pitching more like he did with his recent stint with Philly and less like he did when he first played for us. Not pretty baseball back then from what I can remember.

by **statmasta** » Sun May 22, 2011 4:34 pm

Kearns!

by **British_Pharaoh** » Sun May 22, 2011 4:35 pm

Hannahed!!!!!!!!!!!

Where have you been Jack?? I've been dying to say that for ages

by **statmasta** » Sun May 22, 2011 4:35 pm

Nice to see Hannahan do something again.

by **British_Pharaoh** » Sun May 22, 2011 4:43 pm

5 hits 5ribbies 5 star player

by **dazindiansfanuk** » Sun May 22, 2011 4:45 pm

A good time for a debut for Josh Judy methinks!

by **Am I Here Again?** » Sun May 22, 2011 4:48 pm

Must say I'm enjoying seeing the Tribe play today. We don't have MLB-TV because I would rather hear Hammy call the game. But I noticed in the top of the fourth that it was free...and Mr. likes to say "if it's free it's for me". So I've been laying in the sunroom watching some really sweet swings. I'm just hoping these guys are saving some runs for the next three games. I'd rather liked walking around way-west Boston with my Tribe gear on this season.

Droobs has really made great strides at the plate this year. From what I remember reading it was O-Cab that gave him a few pointers. If that's the case getting O-Cab was totally worth it just for the improvement in A-Cab's batting. Now if the boy could just get the butter off of his glove today....

by **statmasta** » Sun May 22, 2011 5:12 pm

I love Carrera's speed.

by **skatingtripods** » Sun May 22, 2011 5:49 pm

Time for us to make a statement to the national media that we are legit with Boston coming in town. They're a much better team than the last time they were here.

by **Erie Warrior** » Sun May 22, 2011 6:09 pm

Got home in time to hear Acab's second homer. F'n-A, what a game from him. Good day, caught dinner and another win for the Tribe!

This seems to be Manny's only fault as a manager. He continuously sends out his young pitchers for an extra inning when it's obvious to the rest of us they need to be taken out. Carrasco had already given up four runs, two in the last inning, and his pitches were getting hammered when the Reds were making contact.

With the big lead we had, that's the perfect situation to send him back out there.

These young guys have to learn how to work deep into games even if they've given up some runs. Manny Acta knows what he's doing. He's teaching these guys how to overcome giving up some runs in order to work deep into games and save the bullpen. Moves like that are for long term improvement, not for results on that particular day.

Personally, I love it.
