Cleveland Indians (official 2012 season)

No need to worry about run production because Hafner should be back soon:lol add Santana to that gnd we will be like the big Red machine.

Can someone please show Santana how to bunt

You actually want/expect Santana to have enough bat control to bunt? Have you seen him try to hit this season? Sometimes it looks like he barely understands which end of the bat to hold! While he has improved signficantly behind the plate, his hitting is actually worse than his first season at ML level. He has made NO progress as a hitter. At this point the front office look like fools for giving Santana a long term deal.

Apparently Wei-yin Chen and bruce Chen arem't the same person.

Forgive me for thinking that after seeing a lefty with that surname.

Easy mistake. Based on tonight, they pitch about the same:

Bruce Chen: career ERA: 4.52

Not to worry Tribe fans. Hafner will probably be back sometime next week so Santana and him will give a devastating #4 and #5 hitters. Personally, I would rather have Marson catch most of the time and send Santana to some hitting instructor or someplace.

Also, I am surprised that no one has talked about how Acta backed up Hanahan in New York on Tuesday night when the Yankees 3rd baseman dropped a foul pop-up into the stands and the umpire still called him out. Hanahan after seeing it in the clubhouse between innings came out and said something to the umpire and got tossed. Acta is just to plain for my liking and I would like to see him gone after this season. Give me Sandy or even bring back Omar.

The Pirates lead the all time series versus Cleveland even though the Bucs have never finished above .500 in any season since interleague play began in the late 90s. :pirate1:

[yawn] And this breaking news just in, Generalissimo Francisco Franco is still dead....

Feel sorry for the guy. He was just starting to come around. Probably will be out 4-6 weeks. I think more the latter. It will be interesting to see who they bring up.

BALTIMORE, Md. -- Indians third baseman Lonnie Chisenhall is scheduled to have surgery next week to repair a broken ulna bone in his right forearm.

This is the most physically fragile baseball team I've ever seen.

i don't know what sort of physical conditioning prevents you from injury when a 93 mph tailing fastball hits you directly on the bone.

After losing 5 in a row, the Bi Polar team from hell comes back to take 3 of 4 in Baltimore to sit at 40-38

Tribe shut out again......

And this breaking news just in, Generalissimo Francisco Franco is still dead....

 

[LitlBuck]

Speaking of Generalissimo Francisco Franco the Indians signed 3 international players according to this article. No stats in the article. Don't ask me about Roberto Hernandez or whoever:)

Baseball America is reporting that the Indians have signed international free agents Francisco Mejia, Yoiber Marquina and Naoki Hashimoto. Mejia and Marquina are catchers from the Dominican Republic and Venezuela, respectively. Hashimoto is a right-hander from Japan.
