Cleveland Indians vs Tampa Bay Rays series thread

  3 batters in for the Rays. 3 walks for Bauer.

  Wow...that went about as well as you could hope for.
• TBone14

  

  This Bauer guy...lol.
  
  Has gotten 2 guys throw out at the plate and has gotten out of 2 bases loaded jams and hasn't given up a hit yet.
• se-alum

  

  Why is Bauer batting?
• ts1227

  

  Oh cool, thanks to Marson getting hurt, they had to move the DH (Santana) to catcher, and the pitcher has to bat.
  
  That went as expected (3 pitch K)

  Wow. Tribe got hosed by Buckner on that one. Not surprising.

  CB is as bad as Stubbs

  Pitching matchups have been so atrocious this series for the tribe...and today won't be any easier. Gotta find a way though...go tribe!
• TBone14

  

  When was the last time a team faced both reigning CY Young winners in the first 6 games of the season? Not sure if that has ever happened.
  
  Also, when was the last time a team didn't muster a single run in a series?
  
  I don't have the answers.

  What's atrocious is our hitting
• iclfan2

  

  Indians destroy Price. 8 runs so far with two bombs from Reynolds and Chisenhall
• TBone14

  

  Mark Reynolds 2nd homer today was an absolute bomb. Hit off the facing of the upper deck.
  
  10-0. Save some runs for tomorrow boys.

  Really bad day for aces around the league.

  To be fair, he did say Aces.

  That's what I was thinking. But figured id just agree and move on.
• iclfan2

  

  Santana now 5-5 on the day with a HR in the 9th. 5 homers today, 2 from Reynolds. 13-0 now!
• Con_Alma

  Masterson has now beat both of last year's Cy Young Award winners....and did so in his first two starts.

  Masterson has ace stuff, as he showed today. His thing is command. When he has it he can pitch wirh anyone.
• shook_17

  

  Masterson was masterful today. What a great game and needed for this team heading into our home stand.

  The Tribe will be fine this year.. This offense is going to have it's ups and downs as new players get accustomed, but I think the offense is going to be very dangerous.
  
  Pitching outside of Masterson and Ubaldo, given their starts to the season, is where the true greatness of this team will be challenged.

  I think that's a great assessment. This first week will be similar to their year. First 2-3 pitchers will be tough, after that need someone to pick it up. Hitting will be feast or famine.
