Cleveland Indians (2011 Season)

[tsteele316]

LaBusta optioned to AAA

.234 with just 30 HR .394 SLG % and .694 OPS in 3 years for the "big bat" prospect....sigh

his swing rate at pitches out of the strike zone is terrible, roughly 35%. His BABIP was terrible. If he learned plate discipline at all, he could be a legit hitter.

 

[y0yoyoin]

i like the move...the organization isnt saying this is his last chance but hes skating on thin ice

 

[NFBuck]

Yeah, fuck LaBusta. I know he's not gone, but to be optioned out when they are a spasm away from taking fans out of the stands tells you how fucking worthless he is at this point.

Anyway, Hannahan has been on fire lately...Tribe up 6-1 in the 7th. Nice outing from Gomez.

 

[buckeyemania11]

Tribe win 6-2

Royals give up a walkoff HR against the Tigers to a guy whos hit 3 HR all year.....GG KC

Yeah, [censored] LaBusta. I know he's not gone, but to be optioned out when they are a spasm away from taking fans out of the stands tells you how [censored]ing worthless he is at this point.

Anyway, Hannahan has been on fire lately...Tribe up 6-1 in the 7th. Nice outing from Gomez.

I don't understand why they didn't let Gomez out for the seventh inning. They had a 6-1 lead and I believe that he had retired the side in both the 5th and 6th innings. It would have been nice to see if he could have gone seven. With a five-run lead, they could have always gotten him out in time if he started blowing up. It just would have been nice to see if he could go 7 innings.

Labusta will be gone for 10 days unless they put someone on the DL. Maybe they could train him to be a catcher or something because he certainly isn't a very good right-handed hitting first baseman.

 

[NFBuck]

Don't now what Hanahan's on, but give some to the rest of the team. Cripes.

 

[Magua]

two HR's for the Mannahan tonight. Nice. Too bad no one's ever on base...

 

[NFBuck]

No-hit for the last 8 innings...24 up, 24 down.

 

[buckeyemania11]

Hannahan wins it in the 16th with a walkoff single....Herrmann came up clutch with 4 hitless innings

 

[Zippercat]

Herrmann came up clutch with 4 hitless innings

+1 With this win Herrmann is now 4-0. Pen tossed 10 scoreless innings!

Tribe hanging tough. Meaningful baseball in September.

I can't complain.

only to get routed 7-0 through 8 innings today.

Ah, tsteele, you know they can't sweep

 

[NFBuck]

13-15 the rest of the way finishes at .500...not gonna be easy, but if they can pull that off, given all the injuries and underachieving, it's quite the accomplishment.

 

[Dryden]

At Huntington Park with the fam. Who should I be watching? Not a big Indians fan.
