Hells yes! Good final round of the Masters and a Tribe win. Great Sunday! Don't wanna get excited too much but the Tribe is fun right now.

Edit to add..."This is fun. Everybody is loose. You start a season off like this, especially with a young team, it just gives us confidence," closer Chris Perez said. "That's a dangerous combination with a young team, is confidence."

Just a little update on our triple a talent. Cord Phelps is tearing it up batting .471 with 2 homers and 7 RBIs through 4 games. Alex White had a pretty solid first start going 5 innings allowing 3 hits and 2 runs, with 6 Ks. Jeanmar Gomez also had a good first start. Lastly, Chisenhall is off to a slow start batting .211, but we all know the massive amount of talent he has.

For those wondering about Hafner sitting today, I think it had more to do with the night game followed by a day game for Santana. Acta wants his bat in the line-up and wanted to rest him today so he didnt put him behind the plate. He put him as the DH, and so Hafner is on the outside looking in. Yes, he will get his rest versus lefties, especially if Duncan keeps hitting them, but I dont think he is going to rest him JUST because it is a lefty.

Either way, FUCKING 7-2. Unreal. We are guaranteed to be at least .500 till this weekend!!!

I wouldnt worry about him. He probably thought he had a decent chance to be on the big league club, and when he was sent down he might have taken in somewhat hard. Evan Longoria REALLY struggled as well when Tampa sent him down. Then came up and promptly became a top 3-5 3B in the bigs.

Or best 3B in the league, IMO.

He was not the best 3B in the league when he first came up. But he was top 3-5. Its arguable that he is the best currently however.
