All you can do is laugh at this point.

Which, if you've watched the Tribe regularly over the decades, is something you get to do quite often!

GOODYEAR, Ariz. (AP) - Jeanmar Gomez is in the rotation for the Cleveland Indians and veteran Kevin Slowey is on his way to the minor leagues.

Indians general manager Chris Antonetti said Saturday that Gomez won the competition to be the fifth starter.

Gomez has a 1.97 ERA in six spring outings. The right-hander left a start Friday against Cincinnati after slightly straining his right hip on a fielding play, but Antonetti said the injury is not serious.

Slowey was acquired from Colorado this offseason. He was optioned to Triple-A Columbus along with reliever Frank Herrmann.

Slowey went 0-3 with a 6.75 ERA in exhibition play. Herrmann, who split last season between Triple-A and the Indians, was 1-1 with 5.40 ERA.

The Indians are getting primed for the season to begin

GOODYEAR, Ariz. -- It's not easy to lose 21 games in a Cactus League season, but the Indians have managed to do it.

Loss No.21 arrived Saturday night as the Indians fell to Texas, 7-4, at Goodyear Ballpark. Justin Masterson, in his final start before pitching Thursday's season opener at Progressive Field, allowed six runs on seven hits in 3 2/3 innings. He struck out three and allowed two homers.

more if you want:)

Hope it includes a max weight clause, unless they've decided to have him play 1B.

Ubaldo Jimenez hits Troy Tulowitzki. Bad feelings between x-teammes. Benches empty in first

Jordan Bastian ‏ @MLBastian

Back story: Ubaldo had some choice words for Rockies organization early in spring; Tulo had some choice word for Ubaldo in print recently.

Jordan Bastian ‏ @MLBastian

No punches thrown & no ejections or warnings. Ubaldo remains in the game, but Tulo pulled by Colorado for pinch runner.

I'm excited for opening day.

Until they give me a reason not to I believe that this team can make the play offs.

 

[buckeyemania11]

yea, Ubaldo remained in the game and gave up 6 earned runs in 4 1/3 (4 hits 5 walks)

this guy has worse control than headcase Fausto/Roberto
