I wonder how often Longoria has led off in his career?

I had to check it twice because I was sure it had to be a mistake

Is there anyone hitting better than Matt Joyce right now? Dude is raking.

by **Bayou Tribe** » Sat May 28, 2011 5:02 pm

Hope that mlb network starts to pick up more Indians games. It's going to be nice not having to watch it on the ipad for once. Would be nice to have the home call, but I'll take what I can get.

ETA -- It's regional, and they are giving me Giants at Brewers. I'm going to to burn my house to the god damned ground. :pb:

by **Dnthateonthepronk** » Sat May 28, 2011 5:10 pm

Lets get it going

by **FortheWin** » Sat May 28, 2011 5:13 pm

Anyone know a place to listen to the tribe games if you don't live in the Cleveland area?
I live in Kentucky.

Asdrubal.

Upton got fooled and that ball

Nice Hustle choo!

by **Dnthateonthepronk** » Sat May 28, 2011 5:18 pm

Jesus , they got 2 runs and they were lucky to do that.

by **Commodore Perry** » Sat May 28, 2011 5:18 pm

What the fuck is with the baserunning lately? Its like watching a little league game. Just killed what could have been a huge inning.

by **Cerebral_DownTime** » Sat May 28, 2011 5:24 pm

That was the a cluster fuck of an inning killer.

by **Symbolic47** » Sat May 28, 2011 5:29 pm

Wow the guys need to wake up! Acta needs to remind them were still playing for real here haha.

by **Symbolic47** » Sat May 28, 2011 5:31 pm

Hey at least we scored!

by **Dnthateonthepronk** » Sat May 28, 2011 5:33 pm

Laporta with a bomb.

3-0 Tribe

by **Symbolic47** » Sat May 28, 2011 5:39 pm

Very early here, but CarCar is looking sharp.

by **Dnthateonthepronk** » Sat May 28, 2011 5:56 pm

Mat Laporta may be the most inconsistent player I have ever seen

by **Symbolic47** » Sat May 28, 2011 6:02 pm

Crap I did jinx us

by **Cerebral_DownTime** » Sat May 28, 2011 6:02 pm

More incosistent that Peralta?

by **Dnthateonthepronk** » Sat May 28, 2011 6:04 pm

Cerebral_DownTime wrote:More incosistent that Peralta?

yeah because Laporta actually shows promise on both Off and Def. Although they are pretty close

by **TribeinLA** » Sat May 28, 2011 6:05 pm

Indeed he sure is. One night, he's 4-4 with 2 XBH's and the next night he's 0-4 with 4 K's...all on swinging at down and away pitches. Here's a guy that we're just dying to move to the #5 hole, but he just won't allow it.

Ever play either one of the new PS3 baseball games? LaPorta is STOUT on MLB 2k11.

by **FortheWin** » Sat May 28, 2011 6:18 pm

Want to know a interesting stat?
In BJ upton's last 6 At bats he is 0-6 with 6 Ks.

I think this is his 1st time ever leading off in the majors.

by **Symbolic47** » Sat May 28, 2011 6:22 pm

Sigh....

by **Dnthateonthepronk** » Sat May 28, 2011 6:28 pm

Good to see Ol Shoppach is still throwing bats

by **Symbolic47** » Sat May 28, 2011 6:29 pm

Someone give Shop Vac some stick em. He did that like 3 times when he played for us.

by **Dnthateonthepronk** » Sat May 28, 2011 6:30 pm

I would think more than 3 :lmfao:

by **Symbolic47** » Sat May 28, 2011 6:39 pm

After a rocky start we have really let Shields get into a groove. He made Choo and Droobs look very bad those AB's.

Hes gonna kill somebody one of these days. Dude needs to learn to hold onto the bat. I played ball through college and cant ever remember doing that ONCE in my life lol.

I don't have my MLB.TV sub anymore but still have MLB TV and am having the same issue and I am closer to Cleveland than Milwaukee yet I am still getting the Milwaukee game, the rules for MLB make no sense... I did find an internet stream of a radio station that somehow still has the Indians games streaming even though its not really allowed but won't give that out here unless moderators say its ok.

by **Cerebral_DownTime** » Sat May 28, 2011 6:53 pm

Why is Carlos such a friggin bonehead?

It seems like this team's baseball IQ has dropped the last week or so.

Very nice effort by Carrasco today.

by **Cerebral_DownTime** » Sat May 28, 2011 7:34 pm

WTF was Choo doing? The only way that ball is caught is if the OFer has a rocket up his ass.

by **Commodore Perry** » Sat May 28, 2011 7:35 pm

Only heavy drinking last night can explain the baserunning today.

by **FortheWin** » Sat May 28, 2011 8:13 pm

Get out of this here Chris/Rafeal.

by **FortheWin** » Sat May 28, 2011 8:16 pm

Nice way to end that game.
The tribe aren't the only ones who are bad baserunners.

Nobody to blame but Wedge.

Had to leave during the 7th inning, but it was really nice to come home and see we added to the lead AND held it. Good job by the guys today to stop the losing streak. Carlos was pretty good.(I really love this kids stuff, and he seems to be getting much more confidence).

by **skatingtripods** » Sun May 29, 2011 12:49 pm

I beat up Carrasco a lot and really am not a fan, but props on a gutty performance today. His command was somewhat erratic with his fastball again on the outer half to LHBs, but he battled with no run support (not til he left the game anyway). That game was hanging in the balance a lot and kid was tough on the bump.

Big fan of his effort yesterday. I'd like to see more of it.

by **scrambler** » Sun May 29, 2011 1:19 pm

Carrasco's been fine all year. In his 6 road starts he has given up 3 runs or fewer in every one. The team is 4-2 in those road starts. His ERA is 3.48 on the road. I'm tempted to say he's been our best starting pitcher on the road this year. Haven't looked too closely though. The common thought I see on these boards is how inconsistent he's been, the facts are he has been very consistent all year. Take away his first start, and he has given up 4 runs or less in every single one of them. He consistently gives the team a chance to win games every single one of his starts.

I think Carrasco has shown that he is going to be good. Not great, not Terrible but good. He has a 95 mph fastball but it isnt explosive but he gets good downward movement on his pitches. So maybe if he can consistently start to locate that fastball and learn to pitch maybe he will put it together, but if we go on track records he will prob be an effective 6 inning pitcher that can keep his team in games.

A good #3 which normally would be fine but not since that is what you traded cliff Lee for. Its up to Jason Knapp and his bum shoulder in that trade. Its obvious they went for quantity over quality in that trade
