Ubaldo was due to go today, but has been pushed back until Tuesday.

Whilst I understand the desire to give Ubaldo the extra time to work on his mechanics (although no time is long enough), you have to question the logic behind having him start on the road against the Tigers Vs starting at home against the Twins...... he's been much better at home in his time as an Indian, plus the Twins are a much inferior offense than the Tigers.

I guess the results will speak for themselves!

Tomlin giving up some hard hits in the early going.

[dazindiansfanuk]

That was a pretty shitty 1st for Tomlin

[dazindiansfanuk]

LaPorta not playing in either game of the Clippers double header today, so could be on his way to Cleveland.

Is this game on TV?

Is this game on TV?

It's on Fox

[dazindiansfanuk]

The Fox announcers said that the Tribe is going to give Damon some time off on the paternity list..... perhaps that's why LaPorta has missed both AAA games today.

Nope.

I got Cincy/Houston.

Regional bullshit.

[dazindiansfanuk]

Kept chippin' away and now Brants ties it up!!

[dazindiansfanuk]

17 combined hits - all singles.

Time for the offense to give us the lead.

[dazindiansfanuk]

Thanks Josh.... as soon as the bats tie it up you serve up a meatball to Trevor Frickin' Plouffe!

The paternity list? What the hell is the paternity list? Well, whatever it is...if it gets Johnny some time off I'm all for it.

Sippy cup is in. Let the hit parade begin.

[dazindiansfanuk]

Sipp is a fuckin gas can this year..... awful!

[ClevelandFanInNewYork]

Time for Sipp to be DFA'd.

[dazindiansfanuk]

Revere with a helluva catch to rob Chiz of extra bases leading off the bottom of the 9th.

[skatingtripods]

How about this for a knee buckler?

He had a baby. Actually two babies. I read somewhere he had twins. I could be wrong. Odd that they were playing the Twins.

So maybe-just MAYBE- he'll take a page from Hannahan's book and begin to play somewhat better after having a child. I hope.
