I am guessing Santana is catching and not playing 1B?

I also have to wonder if Hannahan is headed to the DL.

Fixed sorry about that! He is indeed catching. At this point, I would DL Hannahan and get some one to help off the bench.

The biggest series in the Tribe's history starts now

(just getting the over-reaction in early)

In all seriousness, with Fister and Verlander pitching the next two for the Kitties, tonight's game would be a good one to win. Let's see which Ubaldo shows up - to his credit, he's pitched pretty well out home so far in his Tribe career.

by **NH Tribe Fan** » Tue May 22, 2012 8:07 pm

Can STO at least get the audio fixed?

by **NH Tribe Fan** » Tue May 22, 2012 8:07 pm

First pitch: ball! OVERREACT TIME!

by **dazindiansfanuk** » Tue May 22, 2012 8:09 pm

Ubaldo really needs to dump the split-finger..... bounced another one about 5 feet in front of the plate.

Simplify Ubaldo.... fastball, curve, change and that's it!

by **cozmeesah** » Tue May 22, 2012 8:12 pm

Bastian said Hannahan went through a complete pre-game workout and is available from the bench in an emergency situation.

by **dazindiansfanuk** » Tue May 22, 2012 8:14 pm

"routine" for Johnny!

The guy is a freakin' adventure..... let's hope his last swing in Sunday's game means progress, hit a hot shot to the wall in RF...... *grasping at straws*

by **Am I Here Again?** » Tue May 22, 2012 8:14 pm

From the sounds of it (listening to Hammy the Dramatic - yeah, I love him anyway!) Damon made a great sliding catch to end the inning. Hmm, could the Baseball Gods be smiling on the Jake tonight?

by **Am I Here Again?** » Tue May 22, 2012 8:17 pm

Choo is making Acta look like a genius for putting him at the top of the order. Now if the guys behind him would just hit...

by **dazindiansfanuk** » Tue May 22, 2012 8:21 pm

Drooooobs!!

Stat of the night - Cabrera now with 13 2B and only 12Ks!!

by **andrew6586** » Tue May 22, 2012 8:22 pm

Nice hit ACab. Matt Underwood just said "Hafner pops one into the grind there". That is all

by **Am I Here Again?** » Tue May 22, 2012 8:30 pm

Sure hope those two runners LOB don't come back to bite us on the butt later this game. AND they probably will.

by **NH Tribe Fan** » Tue May 22, 2012 8:35 pm

Ubaldo is "28" years old, going on 49.

by **British_Pharaoh** » Tue May 22, 2012 8:36 pm

Gonna be a bad series boys

by **comish** » Tue May 22, 2012 8:36 pm

Could have put money on THAT happening....he is serving it up tonight

sigh

...gets out official shit list and pen;

"Ubaldo"

by **NH Tribe Fan** » Tue May 22, 2012 8:37 pm

At least Pomeranz and White aren't doing so hot right now...

by **bookelly** » Tue May 22, 2012 8:45 pm

Well, at least they cleared the lineup. Those are some pretty damn awful 7,8,9 hitter on this squad.

by **comish** » Tue May 22, 2012 8:49 pm

Please add the cheap ass who owns this team and the people who help run it...maybe they will add somebody that can actually hit the ball NEXT YEAR.

Painful

by **andrew6586** » Tue May 22, 2012 8:49 pm

Holy God did Fielder chase an awful pitch. What a gift.

by **dazindiansfanuk** » Tue May 22, 2012 9:03 pm

If the shift is on, Haf should be bunting for a hit here.

Guy's in a major funk.

by **dazindiansfanuk** » Tue May 22, 2012 9:03 pm

What did I tell you...... hahaha

by **NH Tribe Fan** » Tue May 22, 2012 9:05 pm

Tribe offense is trying hard to keep Ubaldo in this game.

by **NH Tribe Fan** » Tue May 22, 2012 9:06 pm

Sidenote: Doesn't that commerical with Shaq make it look like there is no leg room in that car? Dude looks like he can't wait to get out.

by **British_Pharaoh** » Tue May 22, 2012 9:15 pm

Jimenez officially the wildest pitcher in the league. Most walks and most wild pitches.

Awful

by **Erie Warrior** » Tue May 22, 2012 9:15 pm

Jimenez is awful. No way are Pomz and White this bad.

Antonetti got bent over the rain barrel on that deal.

by **Erie Warrior** » Tue May 22, 2012 9:20 pm

Send him down now. With any luck they can straighten him out in time for August/ September. Contract be damned, this guy cannot help this team right now.

by **dazindiansfanuk** » Tue May 22, 2012 9:23 pm

The 5th is a big inning for Ubaldo..... middle of the order due up, if he can keep it at 3 we may still have a shot to win this game.... probably shits the bed though.

by **googleeph2** » Tue May 22, 2012 9:31 pm

Yeah, he'll probably hit 100 pitches this inning so it may be his last, anyway.

So we got that going for us.

which is nice

by **dazindiansfanuk** » Tue May 22, 2012 9:33 pm

I think we've found our new leadoff hitter!!

Gotta move him over now Kip.

by **andrew6586** » Tue May 22, 2012 9:33 pm

Choo is heating up. Loving it.

by **dazindiansfanuk** » Tue May 22, 2012 9:41 pm

That'll do Pronk.

Now if Ubaldo starts the 6th, Manny better have Smith and Hags throwing.

by **andrew6586** » Tue May 22, 2012 9:41 pm

Wow, Choo just beat Hafner back to the dugout. Hustle much?

by **LakeErieWarriors** » Tue May 22, 2012 9:42 pm

Pronk comes through! I was fearing (expecting) the double play.

by **bookelly** » Tue May 22, 2012 9:43 pm

Nice job to battle back. Critical frame of the game here. Ubaldo needs to keep it clean.

by **dazindiansfanuk** » Tue May 22, 2012 9:47 pm

Looks like Kip could really use a game off..... played in all 42 games this year.

Guess that happens when we don't have a back-up 2Bman

by **Dnthateonthepronk** » Tue May 22, 2012 9:52 pm

6 walks by Ubaldo,...Jeebus Christ

by **bookelly** » Tue May 22, 2012 9:53 pm

6 innings, 4.5 ERA - quality start, but not what you want from #2. But good for a #5. Which he is not.

by **dazindiansfanuk** » Tue May 22, 2012 9:55 pm

Yep, Ubaldo was a freakin' train wreck again.

That said, if you'd told me at the start of the night he'd give up 3 in 6, I would've taken it.... that's what low expectations will do for you I guess!

by **Dnthateonthepronk** » Tue May 22, 2012 9:57 pm

Nice swing by Brantley

I see Carlos Pena is batting leadoff and Zobrist is batting cleanup for TB tonight. Interesting.

by **andrew6586** » Tue May 22, 2012 9:58 pm

If you would have told me before the game tonight that Ubaldo would give us a quality start against this lineup I would have kicked you in the dick. Not a great start but I'll take that any day against the Tigers from him.

by **bookelly** » Tue May 22, 2012 9:59 pm

...gets out shit list:

"Damon"

by **andrew6586** » Tue May 22, 2012 10:00 pm

Have you ever seen more ugly swings from one person... In the same at bat?!?!?!

by **dazindiansfanuk** » Tue May 22, 2012 10:01 pm

Casey you fuckin beauty!

by **Erie Warrior** » Tue May 22, 2012 10:02 pm

Buy a lottery ticket, 2 knocks for Kotch

by **LakeErieWarriors** » Tue May 22, 2012 10:02 pm

Damn, even Kotchman's gettin some..... This seems to good to be true right now.

by **andrew6586** » Tue May 22, 2012 10:02 pm

Move Kotchman to number 2 in the order :hide:
