I don't know about the rest of you Tribe fans, but I'm really liking the deal the brought Stubbs, Bauer, Shaw and Albers. After listening to Reds fans rip Stubbs, I am pleasantly surprised with both his offense AND defense. I know Reds fans are really liking Choo, but I make this deal again any day of the week and twice on Sunday.

Tribe on a pace to hit 224 home runs. And congrats to Ubaldo for winning consecutive starts...I think that is a first for him since 2010.

Then he admitted it was the coolest thing he has ever done (the stare, spit and run) takes it over the top. Also love that Tito said to him, "if you get one, let him know"

He is 32 and in his 6th season. I agree he needs more time, because he proved in KC that he can play everyday and produce. But he isnt going to be anything. He is what he is.

It is depressing and embarrassing to see the attendance numbers, but it doesn't surprise me at all. I've been to three games so far (two last week) and have at least seven more to go. Parking is cheap, tickets are cheap, food and beer are (relatively) cheap. I always have a great time and the weather has been borderline perfect lately. I don't understand why fans aren't going, and I hope we don't make the owners and front office regret spending money in the off-season.

JC O'Connor ‏@OconRecon 46m Trevor Bauer at Class AAA Columbus today: 6 2/3 innings ZERO hits TWO runs SEVEN strikeouts. FOUR walks. FOUR hit batters. ONE wild pitch

Laley23;1439711 wrote:Yeah, I dont think anyone wants Raburn to be benched right now, he is hitting well. Isnt Stubbs near .500 the last week too though?

But at the end of the year, their averages and power numbers will be about the same. And at that point, I hope Stubbs has more AB/PA than Raburn cause he brings better defense and a ****-ton of speed to our line-up.
