Pitching sucks and our bats have gone silent. I expect another sweep.

That'll be interesting to keep an eye on during this Detroit/Cleveland AL Central series.

Hate to go full on negative, but with the shitty dolans as the owners, we can't sustain success.

Im actually a lot closer to the banks of the Olentangy, but it was requested, and as a man of the people, I do as my people want. Please visit your thread for Detroit talk.

Would have been nice to have the split with the ChiSox before going to Kitty City.....lot more pressure to come away with with a series win here. One thing is for sure, the white Sox are not going to be patsies for the Tribe this year who got almost 20% of their wins last year from Chicago. It is going to have to make up for that by taking at least half the games from Detroit.

There has been a few guys on here over the off- season that wanted the Tribe to get a big bat in the middle of the lineup....notice the difference with Jose Abreu in the White Sox order..... Completely different team over there.

I was really impressed with Adam Eaton this weekend. The Sox might have found themselves something there. Why in the world did the DBacks let him get away? I realize he doesn't even have a full season under his belt but some nice potential there.

Kind of dumb to have a thread where only fans of one team can express any opinion .A bit sensitive Indians fans?

There are two threads for every Cincinnati/Cleveland game in both sports.

The Tribe have activated Bourn and designated Nyjer Morgan for assignment. I would be shocked if that is the last we see of Tony Plush this year. He was off to a solid start but that run of lefties we faced limited his opportunities. He was batting .348 and is a lifetime .281 hitter. Would have like to see him stay up and play but no room for him right now. I don't know if he can play right field but Brantley, Bourn and Plush might be one of the fastest outfields of all-time.

it sucks that he has to go down and we have to see Elliot Johnson on the bench.

He has to work through it. Slumps are part of being a pro. He has to learn how to break out of it. He does look lost up there right now.

In another note, Omar just doesn't look right in the old English D.

No way do you send Santana down. Maybe move him in the order, but we all know Tito doesnt like to do that, so no real point in hoping. It either happens or it doesnt.

But, you simply dont send someone down like Santana, Kipnis, Swisher, etc.

Not to mention, Santana is getting on base at a .360 clip.

Morgan shouldve offered to hit RH. Probably would be better at it than Johnson lol

Vince Coleman, Willie McGee and Andy Van Slyke came to mind.....1st backup Lonnie Smith in for Van Slyke makes it even faster but not as good as Van Slyke was outstanding

DFAing Morgan sounds like another brain fart, much like the release of Harang hoping that Carlos Carrasco was going to be the second coming of Danny Salazar. Guys like Johnson are a dime a dozen, but Morgan has some special talents that can't be foubnd on the waiver wire everyday. I'm not sure what the implications are exactly, but if we lose him because of this....GRRRRR.

Lots of wasted chances today. Hope Axford has got some struff tonite.
