Anyone else secretly looking forward to watching the awkward lanky Masterson swing the bat?!

We wasted an opportunity in the first inning but Masterson himself looked sharp.

by **dazindiansfanuk** » Sat Jun 25, 2011 5:28 pm

Another new lineup

LF Brantley
2B Phelps
SS Cabrera
C Santana
CF Sizemore
3B O. Cabrera
1B Hannahan
RF Kearns
P Masterson

Buck's flight from Columbus was delayed, so he's not actually at the park yet.

This assclown on Fox is totally unbearable.

Like it's a giant surprise that Sandoval went 1st to 3rd on a 2 out single hit moderately hard to RF. Never happened before. I can't believe fat ass Sandoval is tearing down walls.

Is there a lack of oxygen in the booth today or are these bumbletards alwasys this bad? Its like have 2 stroke victims call a game.

Nice Kearns! Taking one for the team.

by **skatingtripods** » Sat Jun 25, 2011 6:31 pm

Phelps better bunt.

by **skatingtripods** » Sat Jun 25, 2011 6:31 pm

That also works.

by **Dnthateonthepronk** » Sat Jun 25, 2011 6:32 pm

good AB by Phelps

by **skatingtripods** » Sat Jun 25, 2011 6:33 pm

You MUST hit something hard with a 2-0 count there. Awful, awful effort.

by **Dnthateonthepronk** » Sat Jun 25, 2011 6:33 pm

by **Dnthateonthepronk** » Sat Jun 25, 2011 6:35 pm

I wonder if Carlos knows he will get another breaking ball here

by **Dnthateonthepronk** » Sat Jun 25, 2011 6:35 pm

wow he laid off

by **leadpipe** » Sat Jun 25, 2011 6:37 pm

For the love of God, look at that line-up.

Merry Christmas Matt Cain.

The Tribe could hit their pitcher 6th in every one of these games and nobody would know the difference.

Poor execution right there.

With Brantley's speed I'd always have the contact play on personally..... I guess Manny thinks differently.

by **British_Pharaoh** » Sat Jun 25, 2011 6:37 pm

Time to cut ties with Grady

below the Mendoza line and still without a steal.

He's a defensive replacement. I wouldn't even have him pinch hit.

He would have been comfortably out

by **statmasta** » Sat Jun 25, 2011 6:38 pm

If you throw Carlos Santana a changeup in the strike zone, he'll swing through it 90% of the time.

If you throw Grady Sizemore and Austin Kearns anything anywhere in the general proximity of home plate, they'll make an out 99% of the time.

Maybe

But, when you're struggling to score you've got to take that chance and put the pressure on the defense.

Huff had to stretch for it and was a bit off balance, so who knows.

by **dazindiansfanuk** » Sat Jun 25, 2011 6:46 pm

Maybe decision time coming up for Manny... Masterson probably has 1 more inning left in him but, in the unlikely event that one of Cabrera, Hannahan and/or Kearns reach base do you make a move in the 7th?

I'd have to say yes.

In all likelihood though, it's probably going to be a moot point.

by **statmasta** » Sat Jun 25, 2011 6:52 pm

Wow, that was so lucky.

oh my

by **dazindiansfanuk** » Sat Jun 25, 2011 6:53 pm

Hahahahahahahaha

What a huge break that is!

by **skatingtripods** » Sat Jun 25, 2011 6:53 pm

Sadly, Grady gets an OF assist for that.

by **statmasta** » Sat Jun 25, 2011 6:55 pm

Why did Hannahan come off the bag?!

It was completely unnecessary.

This team is so fucking stupid.

by **statmasta** » Sat Jun 25, 2011 6:56 pm

"Oh man! I have to move 6 inches to my left to catch this throw and get the out. I better take my foot off so I can allow Tejada to reach base. Why would I actually want to do my job and get an out?"

That was probably dumber than anything LaPorta's done this year.

You realise Hannahan isn't a 1Bman, right?

How many times this year do you think he's been practicing the stretch on the 1B bag?

You're a little sour lately stats!

by **skatingtripods** » Sat Jun 25, 2011 6:59 pm

That play needs to be made by Phelps.

by **Bigfist** » Sat Jun 25, 2011 7:00 pm

Just like last night...two errors by one infielder in an inning.

I don't care. He's a major league player.

I wasn't a first baseman either, but I knew in little league the few times I played first if there's a throw 6 inches to my left, reach for it, don't come off the bag.

It's an idiotic play. I don't care that he's not a first baseman naturally. He's a major league player. 10 year olds are smarter than that.

And yes, I am sour. I can handle losing, I can't handle losing solely because of pure stupidity.

I don't care what the box score says. That first error is on Hannahan, imo.

Good job he's 6'2" or I'd hate to think what you'd be saying about him! :hide:

Anyone else surprised we didn't see a double switch here when Sipp came in?

Pitchers spot due up to start the bot 7th.

by **statmasta** » Sat Jun 25, 2011 7:07 pm

PURE STUPIDITY

losing because of pure stupidity

unacceptable

by **dazindiansfanuk** » Sat Jun 25, 2011 7:07 pm

Oh for fucks sake Tony!

by **Am I Here Again?** » Sat Jun 25, 2011 7:08 pm

Son. Of. A. Bitch.

by **Bigfist** » Sat Jun 25, 2011 7:09 pm

Is this really a major league team?

by **statmasta** » Sat Jun 25, 2011 7:10 pm

Bigfist wrote:Is this really a major league team?

This is the dumbest team I've seen in a long, long time.

At least in the past we lost just because of a lack of talent. I could handle that. Now it's just nothing but playing like complete idiots.

by **dazindiansfanuk** » Sat Jun 25, 2011 7:13 pm

Masterson in danger of falling to 0-6 in his last 11 starts despite a 3.34ERA over that span..... not good enough!

by **dazindiansfanuk** » Sat Jun 25, 2011 7:16 pm

Now bunt Robert and execute Droobs!

by **statmasta** » Sat Jun 25, 2011 7:18 pm

That's why I HATE running on contact.

It's stupid. It runs you into outs.

by **dazindiansfanuk** » Sat Jun 25, 2011 7:18 pm

Jesus Droobs..... that's poor.

by **British_Pharaoh** » Sat Jun 25, 2011 7:18 pm

Hahhahaha Indians don't want to win

He hit it hard, just right at somebody. Not his fault. It's Acta's fault having Everett running on contact.

by **Bigfist** » Sat Jun 25, 2011 7:19 pm

Geez...just too much to watch.

by **statmasta** » Sat Jun 25, 2011 7:20 pm

Please pinch-hit Shelley Duncan for Grady Sizemore.

by **Watt** » Sat Jun 25, 2011 7:20 pm

$5 says Sizemore strikes out

by **statmasta** » Sat Jun 25, 2011 7:20 pm

Watt wrote:$5 says Sizemore strikes out

Yep. He shouldn't even be hitting. Duncan should be pinch-hitting.
