Tribe - Rays; May 10-12

• TBone14

  

  Today is a great pitching matchup. I knew Shelids has been great this year, but upon further review, he has been even better.
  
  In his last 3 starts, he has pitched 24 1/3 innings and has given up 2 earned runs. He has struck out 24, including 12 Angels 2 starts ago. He has walked 6 in this streak, so hopefully we can work him for a couple of those. He also threw a CG shutout vs the Blue Jays, in which he gave up only 4 hits.
  
  Good news. The Tribe have a great history vs Shields. He is 0-4 lifetime vs the Tribe and the Rays are 1-5 in his starts vs us. So maybe Cleveland is in his head.
  
  Hopefully Masterson can be great again, today. I have a 1:40 tee time so I will be watching the last part of the game on Gamecast on my phone. Go Tribe. Go win another series.

  Masterson's sinker looks really good so far.

  Ill have to check the paper, but on the drive in 10 minutes ago, none of the 3 stations that carry the Tribe in Toledo had the pregame on.

  I've got 1430 out of Fostoria here. Plus 1100 out of Cleveland sometimes comes in.

  Masterson in big trouble in the 2nd... Got lucky on the Kotchman single.

  He got lucky Johnson didn't clear the bases with a double to right.

  Kelly Shoppach comes to the plate batting .170 with guys on 2nd and 3rd and 1 out.

  He looks like a completely different pitcher from the 1st inning.

  Masterson's ERA jumped to 2.76.

  Wow.

  Not looking good. Tribe offense has been struggling recently, so an early 4-0 hole is not good.

  We could use James Shields being wild today and walking some guys.
  
  ...and since when does Carlos Santana get the shift???

  He was getting it from them last night too.

  Dont have a good feeling about today's game, lets hope I'm wrong.
• september63

  

  Shields has only walked 12 guys in 53 innings. The one thing he does do a little is give up the HR. Just have to scratch a hit or two out before hand.

  Well this isnt much fun.

  Look on the bright side. We will miss Felix Hernandez this weekend.

  Thank God.

  Man I go to eat lunch and come back and they're down 4-0. I heard it was Choo's fault but I'm not certain? Guess we gotta come back today. It can be done, still early.

  Nice move Brantley.
