Really? No Game Time posts until now?

Home run for Lindor and for Zimmer. Nice to see Brad playing and hitting. Haven't read about Luplow since opening day but he hasn't played again and if he's out the nightcap today then we know he's hurting. Love the way Tito is getting everyone at bats. Of 16 position players I believe the only one who hasn't started a game is Arroyo and I imagine we'll see him in game 2.

as is typical for a Cleveland starter, Civale has 6 K 0 walks in 3 innings.

Luplow in game 2, leading off of all things. No Arroyo. Chang has a start at 2nd

1st inning: Ramirez doubles; Lindor doubles; Carlos goes deep. Crowd roars its approval. 3 nothing for Plutko

Not a fan of Plutko and hardly surprised he lost out in the starting pitcher derby. Only 1 solo homer in his first 2 innings; I suppose on many teams his talent would be fine for the back of a rotation, but our other guys are so sharp it's hard to compare.

We haven't seen Phil Maton in the first 5 games. Suppose he'll get an inning today.

on the other hand Plutko like all Indians starters throws strikes. first strike to 7 of the 8 hitters he's faced. Our pitching coaches are really the key to the team.

Sweep !!!

We may never lose again !

well, this year a team's season could end at any point. Hope not.

Nice job by Plutko! And Cam Hill gets his first big league save. And Mercado with a wonderful run saving leaping grab. So it turns out I still am interested in [good] baseball.

Hey when did we come back up? I kind of quit trying then just now was thinking. Man I wish I had somewhere I could bitch about Brad Hand.....and lo and behold!!!!!

If he ruins this........aaannddd he did. With some gas on the fire from Cimber.

Hand should not ever be used in a crucial situation. Arm and stuff is shot. He will go on the DL in the near future.

Geez, how long did it take to play that 9th inning?

If you pitch 8 scoreless innings, 3 hits, 0 walks and 11 Ks, you deserve to win the game.

All Plesac got was a Hand Job

Cimber can be sent packing too. After an initial good run when they got him he turned back into a pumpkin.

Is Karinchak ready to be closer? If this were a young developing team certainly. Hand has the experience but with a 90-91 fastball and his struggles the last 1/2 of last year behind him, he is not the man now.
