So I take a look at the pbp for tonight's game and discover Kyle Crockett ! pitching relief in the 2nd after McAllister struck out the side in the First and then gave up 8 runs in the 2nd. And Jesus Aguillar has come in to play 3rd?! base.

Is this an ESPN April Fools Joke?

That really is Kyle Crockett!

Left-hander Kyle Crockett had his contract selected from Double-A Akron. Crockett, taken in the fourth round of last season's draft, is the first member of that class to make it to the majors. He had six saves and allowed one run in 15 2-3 innings at Akron.

He was touched for a homer by Lowrie in his 1 2/3 innings. But a nice job of player selection and development with Kyle.

We played Saturday. Kazmir was ejected. We lost anyway.

Masterson tanking again today. 7-1 in the 5th.

Very little went right, final was 13-3. Swisher now batting 6th was hitless and drops below .200. He adds another error. Chisenhall with a wild throw. Santana, batting 7th in the "big shakeup" also hitless and contributes a passed ball.

Kyle Crockett 1 1/3 scoreless.

Masterson may wish he had accepted the Indians' contract offer.

Tribe game on ESPN tonight. My paper says Kluber but I thought Bauer was going tonight.

Bauer vs. Verlander on Tuesday

Well, that first pitch to Victor Martinez sums up this season in a nutshell. Cabrera doubles so we settle for an intentional walk to Martinez. WILD PITCH!. Yes folks! The pitch sailed over Gomes head. Cabrera to third. WoW!

Looks like the offense is going to suck away another gem by Kluber. We should have at least a 5-run lead if these guys could hit a baseball.

VERY frustrating watching this team!

Nice walk off homer by brantly....when they scored at the top of the ninth I thought it was over. We needed a fighting win like this after what happened against the A's. what was it outscored 30 - 5 for the series?

Way back when LaPorta was floundering about in Venezuela, I made mention of the fact that Brantley would be the key player in the Sabathia trade and not LaPorta. Wow! What a player he is turning out to be. Brantley has to hit cleanup. He's the only reliable and steady hitter we have beside Chisenhall. Bat Chisenhall 3 and Brantley 4.

Bench Santana......I think he left 7 men on the bases tonight.

What an ugly game to watch. Brantley's homer trumped the otherwise terribly played ballgame.
