The homestand continues...Tribe vs. ChiSox

• HitsRus

  

  The only Cleveland starter to have a win yet, Justin Masterson, takes the hill for the Tribe in the series lid lifter:thumbup:.

  Carrasco just got nailed with 8 games by MLB
• HitsRus

  

  ^^^^appeal. It looked suspicious....but I actually think it was an accident.
  
  
  side note....
  
  Daughter hits2...pictured in my avatar, was our varsity pitcher for 2 1/2 years. She was a control pitcher who could hit her spots well and was level headed and a rock emotionally. One particular hitter from a league school who followed her up as they moved thru high school always seemed to hit her well and got the better of their battles more than her share. Senior year, the final game that they would face each other was no exception, and that hitter had already doubled and in the previous AB, hit a monster HR. In what was to be the final at bat that they would ever face each other...Daughter hits nailed her between the shoulder blades with a high hard one. There was some loud muttering from the opposing side.....
  I asked her after the game if she had hit her on purpose....she just looked at me and said, "Dad, you taught me well...you know I don't throw at anybody"...and gave me an angelic smile (did I see a wink?) To this day, I don't know for sure whether or not she hit her intentionally even though the subject has come up more than once even in private conversation between us. If she did hit her on purpose, she is not going to admit it...not even to me...."Dad, you taught me well...."

  Cool story, Bro!
  
  (and I mean that in the sense of the old times.........it really was a cool story! :thumbup

  Pretty impressed with Masterson this year. Beginning of his first two starts were a bit shaky, but he really has buckled down and giving the Tribe just what they need from the front of their rotation. Glad for his success. Couldn't happen to a nicer guy. I've met him personally, and he's certainly one of the good guys in the MLB.
• ts1227

  

  Stretch time, and neither team has had a runner past second base.
  
  Tribe has one damn hit
• ts1227

  

  Masterson 9IP shutout, and unless we walk off will get a no decision
• Laley23

  

  I fuly expect this offense to pick up when the weather gets nicer...but even so, this is pathetic. 4/6 games we havent scored a damn run (ok, 1 run versus Yankees)
• Dr. KnOiTaLL

  

  SWISH!!! Great ballgame. Poor hitting, but encouraging battle!
• Laley23

  

  Ok Swish!
  
  Lets build on this. Masterson has to be feeling awesome right now. Finally gets something to go his way in the W/L department.

  What a win! Masterful.
• Crimson streak

  

  Swisher was so hype he wanted that badly
• GOONx19

  

  Masterson has been great to start the year. I was joking last week when someone mentioned aces and I threw his name out, but man does he deserve this.

  He has been outstanding, but it takes more than two weeks to make someone an ace.

  Listening to the post game show after the game.....
  
  Masterson nicknames being bandied about....Nasty Masty...Mr. Clean...Justin-credible(LOL. sorry Tribe fans---that ones already taken)
• Laley23

  

  I like Mr. Clean from Swish the best.
• HitsRus

  

  Carrasco to appeal the 8 game suspension...says he slipped..... Video would seem to bear him out.:rolleyes:
