Id agree with moving Hafner back to the 4 slot and dropping Santana to 6 or 7. Might take a little of the pressure of the kid.

Yeah he has all the potential in the world, but I think we are putting too much pressure on him this early in the season to be clutch every time he comes up to bat.


I think Carlos gets the day off, My probable lineup for tonight's game:

1. Sizemore CF
2. A Cabrera SS
3. Choo RF
4. Hafner DH
5. LaPorta 1B
6. Brantley LF
7. O. Cabrera 2B
8. Marson C
9. Hanahan 3B

If he doesn't have to day off this is what I think the lineup will look like:

1. Sizemore CF
2. A Cabrera SS
3. Choo RF
4. Hafner DH
5. LaPorta 1B
6. Santana C
7. Brantley LF
8. O Cabrera 2B
9. Hanahan 3B

As much as it doesn't seem like it, Santana is still basically a rookie. Rookies are bound to have hitting slumps and Santana just happens to be in one. I don't agree with moving him down in the order right now. That won't help his confidence and he can come up in the same spot as last night from any point in the order. Let him work it out it is still early in the season. I'm just thrilled that this is the biggest thing we have to complain about right now.

Ive got 500 vcash on the Tribe -1.5. I'm hoping/thinking Masterson can go atleast 7 innings with 1 ER, bullpen closes this out 4-1 Cleveland.

If Bruce Chen is Randy Johnson whenever we face him, Luke Hochevar is Greg Maddux. Hopefully we can finally get some runs versus a fucking Royals starter...never seems to happen though.

You guys and your line-up tinkereing make for some good reading. I'll go with my golf comparison....when things are going good, don't mess with it. Sure feels nice to be 12-5, instead of 5-12...or 4-13... Let's get that win number 13 now! Go Tribe!

We are going for BRF's favorite number tonight 13

Not surprised the lineup hasn't changed.....but it is what it is and if it produces a win then so be it. That is why Acta gets paid the big bucks.

Let's Go Tribe!

Making the Royals' starters look like the 48 Indians staff.

I had little doubt Chen and Hochevar would shut us down...they alwasy seem to. We got game 1, which was crucial however.

At this point, take the Royals approach and swing at the first pitch lol. Anything to break up what the Royals are doing.
