Question:

Are they running this corny crowd noise on TV?

I’ve only been listening on the radio for all the games and I think it’s lame.

It’s in the stadium. And I sat in Wrigley opening night and thought the same thing. Once you stop thinking about it, it’s actually kinda nice. I’m sure the players like it. If you aren’t paying attention, your brain actually forgets it’s fake.

Doesn't bother me at all.

I think it would be weird if I was in the stadium seeing it empty, but on tv and radio I like the background hum. 

Oscar Mercado 2 run single. Tribe up 5-1 after 4.

Going to the 9th. Tribe up 5-3.

Cam Hill works a 1-2-3 9th for his first major league save.
Tribe wins 5-3
Pitching solid

Party at Ron Karkovice's

GO TRIBE!!

How did Cam Hill look? I’ve never seen him pitch. 

Heck of a start to the season. The ugly Mercado/Lindor ABs away from 5-0, but 4-1 and two series wins is great.

A big good day for our Tribe. 

Our pitching has been great so far, our hitting not so much.

Very much a top loaded lineup. But at least they have been decent. Would be nice for Reyes to get off the mark. 

They are 9th out of 15 in team BA in the AL. They are 12th out of 15 in runs scored.

That is not good at all. 

Their pitching though...their team ERA is over 1 run lower than any other team in the AL. They have the best OBA and they are the only team in the AL with a lower than 1 WHIP, at 0.71.

The offense will have to get better, because the pitching will stay good, but it won't stay this phenomenal. 

Scoreless after 4. Tribe had runners on 1st and 3rd with nobody out,and failed to score. Strikeout and DP ended the threat.

Please don’t waste Plesac’s outing. 

Just tuned in, was at a work outing, but apparently Plesac has been solid? No offense as expected

Plesac with 8 scoreless innings of 3 hit 11 k's baseball. Outstanding!! Tribe bats not so much.

Horrible 9th

I’m done with Hand. Fire him. 

Garbage

Colome trying to do his Brad Hand impersonation.

And yet, he failed on that.

Game over. Tribe shutout.

Offense was awful. Even in the 3 innings they had a shot to score, they blew it.

Plesac was great. Bullpen is really shaky...need Hand to get it together, which seems unlikely based on it seemingly being due to velocity drop.

In a 60 game season, I would say, based on the end of last year with his velocity issues and apparently continued into this year, along with his shitty performance tonight.................he's out.  Find another closer, sooner rather than later.
