Man Choo is like a human target in the batters box. Got hit in the hand again although it doesn't appear as bad as last year. Santana plates him after a SB.

It's early, but they are legit major league players. Not the AAAA guys this team seems to be littered with.

I seriously doubt this team even touches 65 wins.

Our prospects never pan out and our offense is as bad as I've ever seen.

You cant win in the AL without power. The Tribe has no power. Santana is the closest thing.

Also, Jose Lopez is not a 1B. Has he ever played there before? I know it was ruled a hit, but he has to make that catch on the liner. That ended up being the 4th run.

Why do the Indians always think they can just move players on defense and it wont matter?

Right now we're T-3 in the AL in HR...and 13th in SLG%. The few hits we do have this season have been either a single or a home run.

Dolan is a POS....it doesn't matter how freaking good your pitching is if you can't score a freaking run.....you will NEVER win.

At the end of the year, we wont be.

But thats not my point. We are above average at SS and C. WAAAAAYYYYYY below average (in power) at LF, 3B and 1B.

As Lopez hits a HR lol.

A couple of things I don't get.

1.Hannahan hits lefties rather well...including the 3 run blast vs Romero opening day. He should be out there. You want Donald to play 3rd..then let Jack play 1st.

2. Aaron Cunningham and Jose Lopez should never see a professional baseball field again. At any level. Are you kidding me?

3. RBI situation in 7th after Cunningham gets to 2nd on the error. Reed is out there..a righty...why not pinch hit Pronk there for Marson? What are you saving him for? To face the lefty Thornton or Santiago in the 8th or 9th?

I'm trying hard to be optimistic and give these guys a chance...but when you run Cunningham, Lopez and Marson out there...you arn't going to win many games.

Of course Lopez hits a bomb as I type...but he still sucks.

Carlos and Druby are the only prospects we've had to really pan out recently. Kipnis and Chiz are both iffy.

LaPorta? Brantley? SMH..

Replace LF with CF and I agree with you. Duncan isn't a masher but he (hopefully) has enough power to hit ~20-25 HRs.

I really thought Brantley would develop well and still has a chance to..maybe it is just too much change for him right now: moving from LF to CF, and then moving up to the leadoff spot in the lineup.....just a thought.

Sorry man, I had hope for Brantley but I just don't see it.. I don't buy the excuse that playing CF instead of LF has anything to do with it either.

You either got it or you don't. He's an "ok" at best player but I doubt he ever touches what the Tribe envisioned him being.

Lol....yeah, I bet milwaukee is really upset at that cc trade.

We are bad....and I just don't see how they can be competitive. The best we can hope for is the team going up for sale
