Tribe Hosting Pirates, June 17, 18, 19

  And the Tigers go down, 5-4...
  
  Tribe is now back in sole possession of first

  Another great outing by Carrasco who is pitching much better than he was projected to when aquired in the Cliff Lee deal. That's a good thing especially because the other pitching piece aquired in that trade...Jason Knapp... has undergone a second shoulder surgery since becoming a member of the Tribe.

  IT WAS 5-1

  Feels good to win a series. Busting some brooms out today will feel even better.

  What is wrong with Masterson lately, and why is our defense so bad?
• dazedconfused

  

  solid start
• vball10set

  now we'll see how the hitting coach change affects our offense....

  A leadoff batter that strikes out a ton makes no sense.

  This. I didn't want to say anything, because I have been complaining about Grady way too much, but it's just pathetic. If he somehow just draws a walk, Brantley brings him in with the double. SMH. Acta should try Brantley at 1 and Grady at 2.

  Now we go!

  Santana hit that thing a mile. Phelps just missed going back to back. Now a past ball and walk and the Tribe got something brewing...
• iclfan2

  

  Santana with a jack (I missed it cuz I had turned to Nascar for a second). Would like to get at least one with Phelps on third with no outs.

  Need more of that from Santana.

  Grady with another strike out. How shocking /sarcasm.
• dazedconfused

  

  that inning looked so promising there for a second...at least we tied it up

  I'm beginning to think you're right--he looks absolutely clueless at the plate
• dazedconfused

  

  grady seems to have that one game (like last night) where he looks locked in and then will spend the next week to week and a half looking like a AA player at best at the plate
• dazedconfused

  

  ummm, lou? catch the f'n ball please

  damn, THREE passed balls already? wtf!!!!
• iclfan2

  

  Grady just looks lost now. A 6 pitch inning for the pirates there. 2 -2 still.

  Anybody know what Strikemore gets paid per strikeout?
• iclfan2

  

  Vinnie P looked good again.
