Just a little tid bit on Triple A Trevor. The man has committed an error every 16 games while in the bigs. How can an outfielder be so bad?

I've seen pony leaguers judge fly balls better than him. How in the hell he is in the bigs is an unreal mystery. But then again, we are talkin tribe here...where amazingly bad things happen.

I was disappointed when Acta was hired, but then I realized he was cheap, which explains why he got hired and told me exactly where this organization is going.

If they wanted to go cheap I would rather have seen them give someone new a chance (such as Travis Fryman) instead of just going with a retread.

Shall we start up a "We Want Wedge" movement? :huh:

The way this team plays defense is on Acta. They are awful.

If they DO fire him, first thing they should do is put an apple in Moon Pie's mouth and put him on a spit for a "Feed the Team" celebration.

Fellas (like any chicks would frequent the new Huddle),

This is thedave. It's the real deal. I'm just messing.

Crapiro is an idiot, just like I've said for years. I'm not happy about being right but it's the situation we're in.

It's great to be back discussing with you guys.

the indians arent losing because of that though(only 13 teams have less errors). they are losing because they have one of the worst batting averages in the MLB.

Fielding, they are ranked 17th by percentage.
Batting, 27th in runs scored.
Batting, 24th in batting average.
Pitching, 21st in ERA(used to be in the top ten a few weeks ago)
Pitching, 12th most runs allowed.

That's always why teams lose in baseball. They either can't hit or they can't pitch. The Indians suffer from both problems, which just makes you terrible. Gold gloves and fielding percentage and all that is overrated--guys that can get it done defensively are a dime a dozen.

I didn't say they were losing because of THAT. I know what the numbers are. I'm just sharing my opinion that Trevor Triple A Crowe is one of the worst outfielders I've ever seen. He single handedly lost a game against Toronto by fuggin up 2 fly balls.

Same shit happened with Mangini just recently, remember?

Manny Acta might as well not bother managing this team until the FO gets him some players--wtf do you expect him to do? Pull home runs out of his ass and hand them to his players

When Grady Sizemore is the biggest name on your team and no one else is really that close--you're in major trouble.

Grady Sizemore has the potential to be a stud, unfortunately he's been suffering from injuries for the better part of 2 years. He is a 30/30 guy when playing to his ability.

However, he's NOT the best player on the team. Shin Soo-Choo is and it's not even close. He's a 5-tool player and the most underrated player in baseball. You also have Asdrubal Cabrera who is easily one of the best short stops in the game.

Also, pitching hasn't really been the problem. Aside from some shaky starts by Jake Westbrook and David Huff, and some shaky bullpen outings by Raffy Perez and Kerry Wood, the pitching has been superb and good enough to win ball game with.

I also wouldn't pin all of this on Manny Acta. This team doesn't have much overall talent, but they do have talent. Of course, injuries have hurt us by taking out Grady (he hasn't been healthy all year) and Asdrubal Cabrera who will be out for quite sometime.

When your core group of guys can't stay in the line up together, nothing good is going to happen.

Bring back Wedge. At least he kept us interested until mid June before the Tribe was out of the play off discussion

Square knows even less about baseball than he does about basketball. Anyone that thinks Sizemore is the best Indian is an idiot.

Must have forgot about that Korean we got playing in right field?

There certainly isn't a lack of talent...a lack of experience sure, but there is talent. Doesn't everyone listen to Hammy at the open of radio broadcast?

Jesus fucking Christ, I swear this happens on every thread. You'd think you stupid ass mother fuckers would figure it out eventually but apparently not. READ THE WORDS ON THE SCREEN. I believe I said "biggest name" not best player. I agree that he isn't the best player on the team, but he's easily the biggest name on the team. Joe Thomas is probably the best player on the Browns, he's not the biggest name.

And it's funny that you say that too, because I know that I know more about the game of basketball than you and the best part is that I know more about baseball than I do about basketball. LOL

And to anyone who thinks talent isn't the problem, STFU, GTFO, whatever. You're a moron. That is exactly why the Tribe sucks, their roster is pathetic.

^^^Classic meltdown from Square Crazy. What's Sizemore hittin again?

Classic meltdown?

LOL!!!!! Classic Footwedge if you ask me. Your reading comprehension has ALWAYS been on a 1st grade level AT BEST. This is currently happening on TWO threads. I'm not melting down, you're just a fucking idiot. There are countless examples.

Take a cold shower Square...you'll be OK in the morning.

Go to Slyvan Learning Centers and sit down with some 7 year olds and learn how to read...then MAYBE you'll be alright. That is if you don't have a brain aneurysm from the stress.

Is it possible to have a discussion on here anymore without people going ape shit?

I hope this is a rhetorical question.

Special Olympics + Internet = OhioChatter.

Some of us are just less retarded than the others.

(I'm sure this will offend someone, I apologize in advance and will be ignoring any shit I may catch for it, so save your breath)

Interesting.
