The tribe took 2 of 3 against the jays with some great starting pitching from Masterson and ubaldo. Bauer will make his tribe debut on Saturday in place of kazmir.

Game 1: Mcallister vs Moore
Game 2: Bauer vs Cobb
Game 3: Masterson vs price

Lets take 2 out of 3

Pitching matchups def don't look great, so let's hope the offense can keep it going like last night.

I actually don't mind the matchups. I'm curious to see what Bauer can do. As much as I wanted to see kazmir I'm just as excited for Bauer

I don't mind that matchup at all. I don't like our #1 verses their #1. I like Masterson and I think he will be much better than last year. With that being said, I don't believe him to be a true #1, so it will be difficult for him to get wins when he is up against guys like Price.

I agree but the rays offense isn't very good either.

I wish we had the Rays pitching. Moore and Cobb are their 4/5. Sick stuff.

I wont get greedy. I wanted 3-3 before the Home Opener. So Im just hoping for 1/3.

He had a strained muscle in his side threw a bp session felt fine the Indians wanted to be careful with him so they put him on the dl

Ok. He's going to lose alot if the offense puts up 0 and his defense boots balls.

He hit one about as well as you can last night. They will start falling.

Not worried about Stubbs yet. He's the 9 hitter.

Our old buddy NCF has a thread for last nights game which hasnt gotten a response and said that "Daniel Stubbs" struck out 3 times.

His other thread about how much it costs to attend the Masters all 4 days brings the laughter.

In honor of NCF, Drew Stubbs will now be known as "Daniel Stubbs"

Ryan Raburn will be starting in right in place for "Daniel" Stubbs and Marson will be behind the plate while Santana is DHing.
