Quick one, just the double header. It does count as a new series, despite them being makeups. Hopefully we get a sweep, but a split will do. Tough to win both sides.

Masterson and Bauer are scheduled.

Go Tribe!!!

Pitching match-ups actually favor the Tribe both games, IMO. Offense is about even this year. Did anyone really expect the Yanks to be 10 over .500 this early?

Honestly didn't see where the offense would come from. Thought they would be fighting for 3rd place with someone.

That said, no sure Masterson is a great matchup vs Yankees. They take a lot of pitches, so if he is on it will be a lot swings an misses on strike 3. But if not, lot of 3 ball counts.

Bauer has great stuff but is so wild. Who knows with him lol

[LEFT]WHERE IS EVERYONE? The Indians shouldn’t get used to the big crowds at Comerica Park.
Expect the Tribe to return home to a half-empty stadium for today’s traditional doubleheader against the Yankees — and that’s the glass-half-full projection.
Cleveland is last in the majors in attendance with an average crowd of 14,104 through 17 games at Progressive Field — more than 4,000 fans per game fewer than Tampa Bay’s next-to-last average haul.
Detroit, which drew more 110,000 fans for the three-game weekend series, ranks eighth with an average attendance of 35,577 through 17 home dates.
"It's early in the year. It's cold. It's during school," Francona said.
"I guess I feel like my responsibility is to try to get our team to play the best baseball we can. And, if you're an Indians fan, you'll be proud of your team. I guess if we get to a point where we're playing like that, and we're backing it up — not just a hot streak — our attendance will get better.

Kipnis with a bomb after bourn was (incorrectly called out on a SB attempt). 1-0 tribe bottom 2nd, should be 2-0.

Anywhere to stream audio on the web without getting one of the MLB packages? WTAM.com is playing Rush.

I think wtam usually streams. Maybe tunein radio (app). But MLB might not allow that stuff.

The MLB At Bat app is only 2.99 per month and you get streaming on your phone.

Couple more insurance runs for Masterson would be nice.

Is Perez available today?

Just looked at the Yankees lineup and man I thought it was spring training.

Not taking away from what Masterson is doing tonight, but how are the Yanks 10 over .500?

Great start by Masterson. Would be nice to see him finish it and save everybody in the pen for game 2. Bauer could go 3 scoreless innings and be at 100 pitches.

I think Tito will leave Mr. Clean out there with it being a doubleheader.

Somehow they get guys to mash when they put on that jersey. Fucking Vernon Wella has 9 HRs. Hafner with 6... Etc

Masterson with a gem. Kipnis with a solo shot in the 1st and Mr. Clean made it enough.

Two 1-0 wins in a week. Pretty rare.
