Where’s the Looch? I seriously don’t care what their past might say or what Verlander might do against lefties, I’m not pleased by the last two entries in the lineup. I’ll take Marte’s glove with Fausto going.

He caught Carlos Baerga’s first pitch last night, so he needs an off day so we don’t wear him out.

I don’t even feel like watching tonight.
So I don’t think I’m going to. Oh, and Jason Michaels needs to show some fast improvement or Francisco will be up here soon. And I’m pretty confident in that.

Boy, the last third of our lineup is just terrifying. Here’s hoping the other six guys decide to hit something.
In fact, a lot of somethings would be just peachy.

Right now, I'll take .500 and run. I'm a cheap happy.

BTW, thanks foe the heads-up on the sportsline page, Jay. Works like a charm.

i want to be positive, but i just feel like we haven’t hit bottom yet. i think i’ll bow out of this one.

I’m sitting here at work ready to start following the game and wondering why?
One day I'll get over to watch the Tribe play

20 groundball outs. 6 strikeouts. One flyball to short left leads to a collision between Blake and Michaels. Marte, Francisco, Fausto and the Tribe never look back.

Just got out my Tribe hat. Wearing it proudly. It’s been missing for about a week, but it’s time to focus.

i may as well address this here:
i would rather have benfran playing than michaels. and i understand that michaels is not hitting the ball at all, at all right now. but we’re putting a lot of energy into crucifying a guy over 33 ABs, and the only reason he has that many is because he subbed for Gutz while he had the sniffles. 16 of those ABs are against righties, who he isn’t even supposed to be playing against (i know, his splits in limited ABs this year against RHP are better, but man, he has an .091 babip against LHP, give the guy a break).
i think we should be saving our disapprobation for the players who really deserve it. i wont say his name.

I’ll trade a short night for a good night from Fausto. Obviously we’d love to see some efficiency, but I just want to see him settle down and throw.

If Carmona doesnt walk guys and stays around the zone, he’ll make up for it. This lineup isnt terribly patient, and he pitches to contact.

Is there a chance umps are squeezing the zone across the league? I’ve been noticing a lot of walks lately from lots of pitchers. Only random observation, not comprehensive, and certainly no explanation for CC’s troubles. Just wondering.

Yeah, Mike and Hammy agree too, but it just seems like its more pervasive. Then again, I might just be a little more sensitive after what I’ve been listening to.

they’re both on third.

Great at-bat for Carroll, that last pitch was real close.

Maybe Verlander’s velocity is intentionally down because the indians can’t hit the slower shit.

How such a smart organization does dumb things like batting Peralta ahead of Garko I don’t know. Garko is the more productive hitter. Stupid, Stupid.

I need to get away from following these games so closely. It just puts me in a foul mood. It’s sad how the success or failure of the Indians and Browns can affect my outlook and attitude.

I’m gonna call foul on this one. We’re down right now, but there is talent on this team. You can’t look past Grady and Victor, Gark is coming on, and I definitely still have faith in Asdrubal and hope for Gutz. This streak sucks; our players, not so much.
