Indians at Tigers - Aug. 3-5

• ts1227

  

  Nice weekend series to put the nails in the coffin.
  
  Johnny Damon was DFA'ed this afternoon, Carrera called up.

  Any hope of still contending means CLE needs to take at least 2 of 3.

  From the Indians web site:
  
  
  Carrera, 25, has spent the entire season with Columbus, where he hit .294 with 65 runs scored, 19 doubles, six triples, six home runs, 42 RBIs and 26 steals in 33 attempts. He hit .420 (37-for-88) with 21 runs, eight doubles, three triples, two homers and and 16 RBIs in 21 second-half games, hitting safely in 20 straight games from July 12-30.
  He was recently named Player of the Week by the International League and Indians organization. Among International League batters he is second in runs (65), third in hits (116) and steals (26), tied for fourth in triples (six) and 11th in batting average (.294). He hit .297 off left-handed pitching and .293 against right-handers.
  Carrera is expected to be in uniform tonight in Detroit wearing No. 12.
  
  And this guy couldn't have played left field for us? What if...........?
  
  
  
  Edit: But I'm about half past give a she-at.

  Delusional expectations will do that. Remember, it's a .500 team.

  Eric Wedge would be ashamed of how far this team's daubers are down right now.

  The Indians blow. That is all.
• IggyPride00

  

  Tribe now 8 back pending the outcome of the Whitesox game.
  
  Was it really just a week ago we were 3.5 back coming off that huge comeback win over Verlander?
• Glory Days

  

  How could the starting pitching be this bad? I mean, i am tempted to go to spring training next year and see if i could get a spot on the team. 7 straight losses...roll tribe....
• Glory Days

  

  And they need to evaluate their pitching coaches. This is pathetic.

  I'm glad to see Carrera called up...but I think it signals that the front office has given up on LaPorta. They seem content to play other team's garbage (Lillibridge, Rottino) SMFH

  Yeah like pitchers that make 15 million a year (Lowe) are gonna listen to a guy making 150K a year.

  I don't know--that "attempt" he made on the fly ball in the 6th (?) was bad, real bad

  Masterson ERA 4.78
  Ubaldo 5.08
  Tomlin 6 something.
  Lowe ERA Gosharuddies
  
  I think this area needs addressed first. Maybe trade Ubaldo to Colorado for a couple of top pitching prospects. I would also trade Cabrera for a few more pitching prospects.
