Which Carmona shows up today?

by **Adverb Harry** » Sun Jul 31, 2011 11:45 am

Oh, and nice to see Donald get a start right away. Hopefully the team isn't crushed by the trade of O-Cab!

Holy Hell no more Uncle!

Wonder how Asdrubal took the news. Obviously a great trade for us, but I'm hoping it doesn't negatively affect him. No reason he really should let it get to him, but I suppose it's possible.

Droobs is a professional. I doubt it will effect his game. He's been around long enough to understand how the league works.

Agreed...I hope whatever it is that Uncle O-Cab "taught" him, it stays with him.

They're saying O-Cab didn't ask for a trade, but I do wonder what's been going on in the clubhouse with him since Kipnis got called up.

by **Symbolic47** » Sun Jul 31, 2011 1:30 pm

Everyone talks about him being a cancer, but Ive never seen any thing in the media about. So I probably missed something. I was loving me some orly in April while it lasted, but it was inevitable he would fail. His OBP is something like .274.....thats so horrible for somebody with no power I can hardly comprehend it. Not to mention his defense, bad base-running and contact skills are well below average, and have totally eroded.

my gawd, this lineup makes me want to just gouge my eyes out. absolutely vomitous with a capital ugh!!! where's hafner??? is he being traded today??? (tongue in cheek) hee-hee!!!

no but seriously though, i swear if santana makes an error at first base that causes the tribe to give up multiple unearned runs today, i think i might just have to rip out my spleen. ever since that one giants game in which he committed back-to-back errors leading to 3 giant runs (literally and figuratively) in a 4-3 defeat-snatched-out-of-the-jaws-of-victory, i just cringe every time i see the "1b" beside his name in the lineup. in fact, i think i just threw up in my mouth a little bit.

by **Adverb Harry** » Sun Jul 31, 2011 2:08 pm

Really rooting for Donald here. Even though he didn't put up great numbers last year, I liked the way he played...almost like a--dare I say it--grinder. ;-) ;) :wink:

Cabrera's looked like he hasn't given a shit for a week or more now. Been awful at the plate since the Break. Maybe this is the wake-up call he needs. He's THE leader now for this young IF. Time for him to step up.

Donald is going to hit at the major league level. IMO his upside is Mark DeRosa. Where he plays will depend on his defense and will ultimately determine his number of ABs.

But he can hit and will hit in my estimation. If he stays healthy he's an intriguing guy and I'd like to see him in the OF at some point.

by **FortheWin** » Sun Jul 31, 2011 2:14 pm

WOO nice play Asdrubal ;)

by **skatingtripods** » Sun Jul 31, 2011 2:14 pm

I think we got a gift call at 2B there.

If not, that's an incredible play.

by **Symbolic47** » Sun Jul 31, 2011 2:15 pm

Slick play there by Droobs to get the double play.

So this is your new Jamey Carroll?

by **dazindiansfanuk** » Sun Jul 31, 2011 2:15 pm

Very generous call on the DP..... AC was long past the 2B base bag before he picked the ball.

You know, he is pretty adorable with those dimples.

by **skatingtripods** » Sun Jul 31, 2011 2:22 pm

Shame to see Hannahan become irrelevant. Just can't hit. Seems like a good guy and is clearly a phenomenal fielder.

by **British_Pharaoh** » Sun Jul 31, 2011 2:24 pm

Well done lad. D'oh!!

by **Symbolic47** » Sun Jul 31, 2011 2:24 pm

WTF was that Droobs?

by **The Math God** » Sun Jul 31, 2011 2:27 pm

Francoeur just put one out, he could come over after the game--quick and easy

by **Symbolic47** » Sun Jul 31, 2011 2:28 pm

by **British_Pharaoh** » Sun Jul 31, 2011 2:31 pm

Wow!! Fantastic throw

by **Symbolic47** » Sun Jul 31, 2011 2:33 pm

Droobs is good, just in case you didnt know.

by **FortheWin** » Sun Jul 31, 2011 2:34 pm

Did Droobs make another WebGem?

Gotta get the win today before heading to Beantown.

by **Symbolic47** » Sun Jul 31, 2011 2:40 pm

Nice AB from Fuku there. Much better than seeing Buck flail wildly at those pitches.

by **British_Pharaoh** » Sun Jul 31, 2011 2:41 pm

Kearns is abysmal

As soon as Neal is off the minor league DL call him up and DFA this bum

by **Symbolic47** » Sun Jul 31, 2011 2:42 pm

Kearns still sucks though, just an FYI...

by **Symbolic47** » Sun Jul 31, 2011 2:44 pm

Bases jacked for Lou...lol.

by **British_Pharaoh** » Sun Jul 31, 2011 2:46 pm

This bum has struck out 3 of our guys already.

by **Symbolic47** » Sun Jul 31, 2011 2:46 pm

wow.....

by **Dellucci TailGator** » Sun Jul 31, 2011 2:59 pm

Apparently Danny Duffy spends all his time practicing his pick-off moves and not covering first base.

by **FortheWin** » Sun Jul 31, 2011 3:04 pm

We need to get danny duffy..... out of the game

by **TribeinLA** » Sun Jul 31, 2011 3:06 pm

Austin Kearns SUCKS so badly that Ryan Ludwick's potential addition looks like we're adding Juan Gonzalez. God, I will NOT believe we are going to play contending baseball with him.

I predict Kearns takes his last at bat as an Indian in about 1.5 hours.

by **TribeinLA** » Sun Jul 31, 2011 3:08 pm

Fuck you, Detroit.

by **FortheWin** » Sun Jul 31, 2011 3:11 pm

So when Choo and Sizemore come back we will have

Choo
Sizemore
Ludwick (potentially)
Fukudome
and Brantley

by **FortheWin** » Sun Jul 31, 2011 3:14 pm

by **British_Pharaoh** » Sun Jul 31, 2011 3:14 pm

Santana is such a spastic

by **skatingtripods** » Sun Jul 31, 2011 3:15 pm

Santana costs us another run in the field by not paying attention and backing up the cutoff throw.

Either he is stupid, doesn't care, or is just a horrible defender at any position.

by **British_Pharaoh** » Sun Jul 31, 2011 3:19 pm

End the Kipnis experiment and let him finish a good year in Columbus.

I hate everything about this offense

by **TribeinLA** » Sun Jul 31, 2011 3:21 pm

Fukudome, so far, has a great stat...making the game last longer while giving nothing.

Sabermetrics...MTGLLWGN. Fukudome....990.

by **TribeinLA** » Sun Jul 31, 2011 3:22 pm

Kearns with a hit! Nevermind on Ludwick!

by **TribeinLA** » Sun Jul 31, 2011 3:27 pm

We're really gonna rely on Marson and Santana to get us to October. RIIIIGHT...

If I were the front office, I would take my chances with Choo being back soon and forget Ludwick. Go get Ianetta. His OBP and decent power trumps Marson's ability to throw out 50 percent of basestealers. And I am to the point where I do not want Santana playing c any longer. If anything, I hope he's our dh by 2013. Meanwhile, Marson is NOT going to be Alomar nor Victor...he can't even sniff Anus Diaz. He's like having Andy Allanson all over again...no stick, but can throw out Jesus.

by **British_Pharaoh** » Sun Jul 31, 2011 3:28 pm

Boooooooooooooooooo

by **skatingtripods** » Sun Jul 31, 2011 3:29 pm

Another lazy ass throw from Cabrera. His head needs to be removed from his ass immediately.

by **TribeinLA** » Sun Jul 31, 2011 3:29 pm

Damn it Carmona! That's inexcusable and something you did in 2006. When is this guy gonna get it together? So glad we got Ubaldo. Carmona is a clown!

His uncle was traded. I'm sure he's gonna be out of it for a couple of days. WHo will be his new back patting, high five bromancer?
