Another great outing by Carrasco who is pitching much better than he was projected to when aquired in the Cliff Lee deal. That's a good thing especially because the other pitching piece aquired in that trade...Jason Knapp... has undergone a second shoulder surgery since becoming a member of the Tribe.

Feels good to win a series. Busting some brooms out today will feel even better.

What is wrong with Masterson lately, and why is our defense so bad?

A leadoff batter that strikes out a ton makes no sense.

This. I didn't want to say anything, because I have been complaining about Grady way too much, but it's just pathetic. If he somehow just draws a walk, Brantley brings him in with the double. SMH. Acta should try Brantley at 1 and Grady at 2.

Santana hit that thing a mile. Phelps just missed going back to back. Now a past ball and walk and the Tribe got something brewing...

Santana with a jack (I missed it cuz I had turned to Nascar for a second). Would like to get at least one with Phelps on third with no outs.

Grady with another strike out. How shocking /sarcasm.

I'm beginning to think you're right--he looks absolutely clueless at the plate

grady seems to have that one game (like last night) where he looks locked in and then will spend the next week to week and a half looking like a AA player at best at the plate

Grady just looks lost now. A 6 pitch inning for the pirates there. 2 -2 still.

Anybody know what Strikemore gets paid per strikeout?
