Cleveland Indians (2013 Season)

Not to piss in anyone's pudding, it was a great game to watch tonight, but Masterson could win every one of his starts and we'd barely get past the Cleveland Spiders for wins. Someone else has to step up, and I don't think we have any other starting pitcher that is capable of winning 10 games.

Agree totally. Ubald-O is clearly a lost cause. McAllister has some potential, but is hardly a #2. Bauer...well, he walks everything. The only real hope is that Kazmir can get healthy and refind his grove. It's happened many times, where a pitcher is lost for several years then suddenly regains form. Maybe it can happen to Kazmir. But, besides that, the bullpen has serious holes, and the offense is schizophrenic. I have a hard time seeing more than 75 wins.

Nick Swish with his first game winning hit in Cland

Wow, Masterson has been dominant so far with a 0.41 ERA

Time to tryout some replacements:

Thanks Ventura

Then you have to wonder what White Sox manager Robin Ventura had in mind. Yes, Jason Kipnis had hammered the ball hard...twice...to the outfield. Both line drives were caught. But Kipnis is hitting .125.

Ventura had reliever Jesse Crain throw him breaking balls, the old "unintentional...intentional walk." The White Sox made the decision that if anyone would beat them in the ninth inning, it would be Nick Swisher...not Kipnis.

Maybe because Swisher was 1-of-9 lifetime vs. Crain, compared to 1-of-3 for Kipnis.

If Carrassco keeps hitting guys every time someone hits a home run off of him, there is no way that he will break the record because he will not be able to pitch in that many games because he probably will get suspended again. The only guy in that whole starting rotation that they can semi-depend upon is Masterson and even he is shaky. This could be the worst season in a long time and I know that is saying something.
What a jackass:!

CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Indians right-hander Carlos Carrasco insisted that he accidentally hit the Yankees' Kevin Youkilis with a pitch Tuesday night. Major League Baseball did not buy it.

Carrasco was suspended eight games and fined an undisclosed amount for the incident. The announcement came Friday afternoon. It is Carrasco's second suspension in three years.

Even Yan Gomes got into the act. This White Sox teams sucks, I laughed heartily the other night when I heard Hawk comparing them to their 83 team...not even in the same zip code.

That said, it was a nice ballgame. Much as I have poked fun at the guy, I actually like Yan Gomes, who also homered...not going to hit much, but seems to be a decent receiver with some pop. Good 40-50 games as catcher material to let Santana move around.

McAllister outdueled Sale. I was kinda [censored]ed they didn't run Sale after he hammered Brantley after the Salami...that was just as obvious as Carrasco's was. At least he hit him in the ass though, so no danger to his career.
