Fun with stats department: Kyle Lohse is 7-9, 5.89 career against the Indians.

Current Indians v. Lohse: 10-for-31

Cunningham 1-for-2
Damon 6-for-16
Kotchman 2-for-11
Lopez 1-for-2

Feels like forever ago when this guy was our punching bag with the Twins.

That graphic cannot be right. Masterson is from Kingston, Jamaica??

I'm watching with the sound off

Born there.... his dad was working there or something.

Beltran with a bomb. Good thing it was a solo shot.

Masterson allowed 11 HR in 216 IP last year. Already 7 in 77.1 this year.

This is pathetic. Lohse is a human piñata, made to look good in a shit division in a shit League.

Get a grip boys

by **British_Pharaoh** » Sat Jun 09, 2012 9:17 pm

Did Freese try to say he fouled it off his leg or something?? He never left the batters box.

Best thing about Masterson's start tonight is no walks allowed...so far.

by **British_Pharaoh** » Sat Jun 09, 2012 9:19 pm

Oh wait, he did foul it off his foot.

by **skatingtripods** » Sat Jun 09, 2012 9:25 pm

Good, sharp slider from Masterson tonight.

Offense has to scratch out a couple runs.

by **dazindiansfanuk** » Sat Jun 09, 2012 9:34 pm

Offense really scuffling against Lohse so far.... the way things are going it's looking like our first shutout of the year.

Pretty shocking. LHB came in hitting .297 off Lohse this year.

by **skatingtripods** » Sat Jun 09, 2012 9:43 pm

Another perfect throw by Santana. Kid really worked at it in the offseason.

by **dazindiansfanuk** » Sat Jun 09, 2012 9:46 pm

Hell, only Brants can hit this guy it seems!

by **British_Pharaoh** » Sat Jun 09, 2012 9:49 pm

WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY was Damon not bunting?

by **dazindiansfanuk** » Sat Jun 09, 2012 9:52 pm

If Chiz reaches, you've gotta PH for Masterson.

Probably a moot point.

by **skatingtripods** » Sat Jun 09, 2012 9:52 pm

This is Chisenhall's 10th game and he hasn't walked yet.

by **ClevelandFanInNewYork** » Sat Jun 09, 2012 9:53 pm

Can Chiz go deep?

Deep to the second baseman is not what I was hoping for....

by **British_Pharaoh** » Sat Jun 09, 2012 9:53 pm

Sickening display. Worse than the Germany - Portugal game.

by **dazindiansfanuk** » Sat Jun 09, 2012 9:53 pm

Just weak ground balls to the pull side all night..... what happened to the oppo swings that worked so well last night guys?!

by **British_Pharaoh** » Sat Jun 09, 2012 9:58 pm

A great 7 innings from Masterson tonight, and that will be it for him with his spot due up in the top 8th. He never came close to issuing a walk which is the best part about tonight's outing. In total control.

Interleague play doing wonders for our pitching.

by **skatingtripods** » Sat Jun 09, 2012 9:59 pm

Terrific effort from Masterson. Push two across and at least put him in line for the win.

by **skatingtripods** » Sat Jun 09, 2012 10:01 pm

Sucks that we're using Shelley here because we need Lopez as the backup IF. Would much rather have him up.

Sucks more that those are our only options.

by **British_Pharaoh** » Sat Jun 09, 2012 10:03 pm

Cards OFers might as well get a deck chair and a mojito out there.

by **British_Pharaoh** » Sat Jun 09, 2012 10:04 pm

Damn I was hoping that was, and that needed to be, a homer. At least it got Lohse off the mound.

by **skatingtripods** » Sat Jun 09, 2012 10:06 pm

Hope Matheny comes to regret pulling Lohse. As a player, I'd hate to get pulled there. Pretty shitty of Matheny IMO. Lohse has earned the right tonight to try and get through the 8th.

Edit: Forgot Kipnis hits 3rd now.

Furthermore, what the fuck Acta? Really?

by **dazindiansfanuk** » Sat Jun 09, 2012 10:07 pm

Shocked that Matheny is going to the pen there..... time for Kip to come up big!

by **British_Pharaoh** » Sat Jun 09, 2012 10:08 pm

I like it, but that's just what Molina does; it's always a risk running on him but a risk we needed to take.

by **dazindiansfanuk** » Sat Jun 09, 2012 10:10 pm

What the fuck are you doing AC?!

Taking the bat out of Kip's hands..... not good!

In a game where we need 3 hits in an inning to score a runner, it's a good play to try and get the run into scoring position.

by **skatingtripods** » Sat Jun 09, 2012 10:12 pm

Did we seriously go to Jeremy Accardo in a 1-0 game?

Not with a guy who can't run it isn't! Cabrera is slow this year.

Let's just keep it at 1 and hope we can rally off Motte.

It's like a white boy reincarnation of Asencio, going with this Accardo guy.

It's like Acta has conceded defeat.

by **dazindiansfanuk** » Sat Jun 09, 2012 10:13 pm

Ugh.... Accardo!

Agree with daz. Molina, from his knees, threw Cabrera out by 5 feet.

You don't take the bat out of your best overall hitter's hands. Lefty-lefty matchup or not.

I've spent most of the last two hours chasing a two-year old around. I think I'll return to that activity . . . forget it, he's down for the night. I guess I'll start drinking.

Now here's the real question: Zaya Rum or Cardhu Scotch?

by **skatingtripods** » Sat Jun 09, 2012 10:17 pm

I don't understand not using Pestano here. He's had two days off. Will have an off day on Monday regardless.

Go with the rum.

by **dazindiansfanuk** » Sat Jun 09, 2012 10:20 pm

Just watch Kip hit one out here to piss us all off!

Yes, good call. Hot summer nights call for rum.

by **skatingtripods** » Sat Jun 09, 2012 10:28 pm

Feels like Santana leads the league in 9th inning pop ups. Down by 2, get on base. Shorten your swing.

by **dazindiansfanuk** » Sat Jun 09, 2012 10:31 pm

Not a good night at the plate..... too pull happy and probably 2 hard hit balls all night.

by **skatingtripods** » Sat Jun 09, 2012 10:31 pm

Would've been great to get tonight's game. Hate to rely on Ubaldo to win you a series.
