Carmona on the bump for us.

by **Symbolic47** » Mon May 30, 2011 8:12 pm

Well the quiet bats continue in the 1st.

by **Am I Here Again?** » Mon May 30, 2011 8:15 pm

This pitcher sucks statistically and we give him a six-pitch inning? WTH??? Come ON guys, make him work!!!

by **Symbolic47** » Mon May 30, 2011 8:16 pm

I think Reyes has not gotten a victory in something like 30 strait starts....

28.
It doesn't mean he has lost all of those, he just hasn't won.

When did Nix learn how to play 3B?!

by **hebner20** » Mon May 30, 2011 8:24 pm

I am listening to Hammy on the internet feed that TNT hooked us up with. Sounds better than when I listened to 1100 up in ohio. cool. thanks TNT. This will be nice as long as it lasts.

Wow Jayson Nix flashing the leather but did not get Sloth at first.

by **Symbolic47** » Mon May 30, 2011 8:26 pm

Id love to see Santana get a little knock here

by **skatingtripods** » Mon May 30, 2011 8:29 pm

We have to start punishing mistakes. This guy's hanging everything.

by **FortheWin** » Mon May 30, 2011 8:31 pm

So we had 1st and 2nd no outs and we don't score!

by **hebner20** » Mon May 30, 2011 8:34 pm

By the way, I have noticed that the game threads are not conforming to the standard format. Just in case anyone doesn't know the format, I will repeat it again for the umpteenth time.
mm/dd/yy tribe vs. opponent anything else you would like to add is fine just get the dang date correct. 5/30 could be any year and you never know when you might want to search a game thread by date and if there is no year then all heck breaks loose in the Hebner household.

One final thing, get offf my lawn! :pb:

While its frustrating to see Carlos struggling so much, I still feel hes gonna bust out of this in a big way eventually. I feel much better watching him struggle than some of our other big time prospects such as Laporta an Marte. And this is for a few very solid reasons.

- He has the approach of a vet. You can tell he knows what hes doing at the dish. Has a real brain for the game( ala Victor). He struggling, yet he still almost always works the count and doesn't give away many at bats. This is pretty obvious, and backed up by his large amount of walks.

- He makes solid contact more often than not. If you watch he just seems to be missing the ball by the smallest amounts. He fouls a few balls off a game strait back(which is a big sign the batter just missed) This tells me hes just not picking up the ball well, which is something that happens to all hitters. Hes got all the tools, and the right attitude. Hes gonna come around eventually.

Symbolic, don't sweat it. This has been going on since i have joined the boards and no one cares but me. But really, how hard is it to add the $#&@ng /11?

(adjusts tin foil hat tighter)

by **Symbolic47** » Mon May 30, 2011 8:43 pm

Well Droobs is off to an amazing game.

2 Ab's- 2 GIDP :spanky:

by **Symbolic47** » Mon May 30, 2011 8:46 pm

As horrible as Hannahan has been this year hitting,Jayson Nix has been much worse.

by **Symbolic47** » Mon May 30, 2011 8:50 pm

Im just going to shut up now :gah:

This team is playing horribly right now.

by **hebner20** » Mon May 30, 2011 8:51 pm

jayson nix with the dinger! now the Jays third basemen are 1 for 45 in the past two weeks! hammy ragging on santana right now for calling the change up.

by **Symbolic47** » Mon May 30, 2011 8:53 pm

Is there a bigger headcase in all off baseball than Carmona? (besides Milton Bradley)

Funny because Manning wanted the slider. Fausto just didn't locate it. Had Bautista been up, that pitch is hit 600 feet.

Offense still giving the pitchers zero margin for error.

by **Symbolic47** » Mon May 30, 2011 8:56 pm

Slick play by Droobs to get the force out at 2nd.

2-0 Jays after 3

by **Symbolic47** » Mon May 30, 2011 9:00 pm

Geezus Sloth just hit a BOMB

by **dazindiansfanuk** » Mon May 30, 2011 9:02 pm

That was a towering blast by Dunc

by **FortheWin** » Mon May 30, 2011 9:09 pm

Can we send Carmona to AAA?

by **Symbolic47** » Mon May 30, 2011 9:10 pm

Ah good ol Carmona......Doing his best to give that run right back.

by **dazindiansfanuk** » Mon May 30, 2011 9:12 pm

Rajai Freakin' Davis?!

by **Symbolic47** » Mon May 30, 2011 9:13 pm

Im just gonna say it

Carmona sucks.

by **Dnthateonthepronk** » Mon May 30, 2011 9:14 pm

just woke up after eating a ton..... ::doh::

by **Symbolic47** » Mon May 30, 2011 9:14 pm

First official slump of the season. The whole team is playing like crap.

by **FortheWin** » Mon May 30, 2011 9:16 pm

What is andy marte doing these days? I'm sure he could pitch better than Fausto

by **dazindiansfanuk** » Mon May 30, 2011 9:18 pm

You're fuckin' kidding me OC!!!

Unbelieveable.

Hang your head in shame.

by **FortheWin** » Mon May 30, 2011 9:18 pm

COME ON DEFENSE!! WE ARE BETTER THAN THIS!!!! (x)

by **skatingtripods** » Mon May 30, 2011 9:19 pm

I can't defend Orlando Cabrera anymore. I've done it up to this point, but I simply can't do it anymore.

by **dazindiansfanuk** » Mon May 30, 2011 9:21 pm

It's officially Cord Phelps time.

The kid is hitting .319 with 7HR and a .936OPS down in AAA.

by **Symbolic47** » Mon May 30, 2011 9:22 pm

BOOOOOOO

Im done for the evening folks. Not wasting the nice weather to watch the guys sleep walk through yet another one.

Also OCAB if you cant play defense your useless to us.

by **dazindiansfanuk** » Mon May 30, 2011 9:23 pm

This is just downright embarrassing from Fausto

by **dazindiansfanuk** » Mon May 30, 2011 9:26 pm

Fausto pretty much a lock to drop his 3rd straight.... 10.06ERA over that span.

by **skatingtripods** » Mon May 30, 2011 9:28 pm

Given this last stretch, we're going to find out what kind of manager Manny Acta really is.

They need a shake-up. A message must be sent.

by **dazindiansfanuk** » Mon May 30, 2011 9:30 pm

If nothing else, can we at least knock Reyes out before he finishes 5 so that he doesn't break his winless streak against us?!

by **dazindiansfanuk** » Mon May 30, 2011 9:31 pm

Oh come on Brantley.... on a 2-0 pitch?!

Just a joke.

by **FortheWin** » Mon May 30, 2011 9:31 pm

We are not that good.

by **skatingtripods** » Mon May 30, 2011 9:33 pm

Down by 8 fucking runs. Idiotic is a nice way of putting it.

by **FortheWin** » Mon May 30, 2011 9:33 pm

At least Fausto is out of the game!

by **hebner20** » Mon May 30, 2011 9:35 pm

Geez, I go out to walk Jimmy Sad Eyes and when I come back we are down 9-1. Looks like Reyes might get off the Schneid.

by **skatingtripods** » Mon May 30, 2011 9:39 pm

I don't understand how TOR can score runs so prolifically. Their lineup nightly is comprised of cast-offs and shit like Jayson Nix, Rajai Davis, Corey Patterson, Juan Rivera, John McDonald, Edwin Encarnacion. All these guys are fucking scrubs. Every one of them. Nobody wanted these assholes.

Poor Durbin's going to be left out there to dry until he throws 50-55 pitches.

by **FortheWin** » Mon May 30, 2011 9:41 pm

Since the national televised game vs. the red sox we are 1-5 assuming we lose tonight. :hide:

Just like we did with Cliff Lee right before he became so dominant we couldn't afford him anymore?

I think Carmona is out of options..I believe his last one was used in 2009 when he was sent back to rookie league for a while. We have to keep sending him out there and hope he can get it done.

I like Cord Phelps as much as the next guy, but I can't remember too many of our position prospects that have not had to return to the minors after some time in the majors. Manny Ramirez comes to mind, but with all due respect to Phelps, he is no Manny Ramirez.

by **shamwow imitator** » Tue May 31, 2011 2:03 am

Am I wrong in thinking it's better to get beat 11-1 than 1-0? (damn I hate losing 1-0)
The close ones bother me too much...this one doesn't
C'mon Tribe
Go get 'em Tuesday
