    True, but he was the opening day starter and projected to be a number one. Tomlin and masterson have been amazing so fausto is a great number 3.

    Kinda reminds me of those mid/late 90's Tribe teams that could rake but had no true #1 ace. Obviously this team doesn't hit like that though. When this team had what was considered a #1 (the fat guy who wears pants that look like a 5 year old trying to wear daddy's business suit) he choked in the 2007 ALCS.

    This team does have much better pitching than the 90's teams. Too bad they couldn't combine the mashers of those teams with the pitching of this team. :)

    Completely agree on the pitching (and hitting) but they don't have that PROVEN "reliable' ace that can shut people down.

    About to get underway...I frankly hate these afternoon games because it seems like every time they play a noon game and I'm at work, they lose. Hoping for some good mojo today...GO TRIBE !!!
  • Laley23
    LOL. Talbot gonna get rocked today.
  • gorocks99
    2-0 early on as Ellsbury gets on and Pedey hits a homer. Gonzo gets a base hit as well.
  • grodt
    Not quite the start we were hoping for there Mitch. Gotta get out of this inning without any more damage.
  • Laley23
    haha, this is comical. Im glad I got work at 2.
  • gorocks99
    4-0 after Ortiz, Crawford and Saltalamacchia get hits down.
  • gorocks99
    Even Sutton is laying down hits. 6-0.
  • Commander of Awesome
    damn, this sucks.
  • grodt
    Dear God this is sad
  • BR1986FB
    Pray for a major LONG thunderstorm that wipes this one out...:D
  • gorocks99

    Probably close to 100 pitches. He needs the work coming off the DL.

    Well at this rated that'll only be about 20 runs. Sox could use the BP to get those averages back in line.
  • TBone14
    Should be plenty for Lester buuuuutttt, the Tribe hitters won't just roll over. Keep it at 6 and chip away.

  • dazedconfused

    Weather not looking good for you, Laley. Looking like some serious rain in Toledo soon, don't know if it can get Cleveland in time to wash this one out.
