Forgot to mention that our third baseman cracked a pair of homers. This time it was little Jose Ramirez. We're getting great offense at the hot corner this fall while Uribe tries to get a visa and get a few games in before the season starts and Ramirez moves to the bench and Urshela drives down I-71 to Columbus.

Outfielders actually hit ok Monday:

Butler singled and doubled in two trips.
Byrd a pair of doubles in two ab
Cowgill a 2-run double in 2 AB
Venabkle drew a wakj

Hitless:
Grossman in 1 at bat, Brantley in 2, Naquin in 3

Still no Chisenhall

Tito's going with the Santana leadoff lineup today. Byrd and Uribe are out there. Chisenhall reminds sidelined. With all of 1 hit to his credit this spring and now 10 days out of action, and the season started in 11 days, Lonnie is beginning to make a case for DL and AAA rehab.

Which could mean the opening day OF will be Brantley-Naquin-Byrd with Davis as the No. 4. And probably Butler as No. 5 in the outfield

Hope I am not jinxing him but Bauer has hels Angels scoreless for 4 innings on 27 pitches, all strikes, no balls. Given up 3 hits Tribe up 1-0. They wanted him to throw more strikes!

and Tomlin follows in the evening game with 6 shutout innings featuring 10 strikeouts and no wals,

One of them goes to the bullpen anyway.

Tomlin and Anderson to start and Bauer to the bullpen!

Very late call!

They should have cancelled much earlier. I'm sure many took off work and/or drove long distances to get to the game, despite the forecast.

For informational purpose - Tito's lineup vs. lefty Price would have been (and probably will be):

Rajai Davis CF,
Jason Kipnis 2B,
Francisco Lindor SS,
Mike Napoli 1B,
Carlos Santana DH,
Yan Gomes C,
Marlon Byrd LF,
Juan Uribe 3B,
Collin Cowgill RF.

Guess the Indians management is feeling the heat:

Knowing the disappointment our fans felt today, we’ve announced an enhanced ticket exchange policy. DETAILS: http://atmlb.com/1SMz95j

+ Fans attending tomorrow’s rescheduled ‪#‎TribeOpener‬ can also attend another April or May game. Note: April 4 tickets are good for tomorrow’s rescheduled game.
+ Fans who can’t attend tomorrow’s rescheduled Opener can attend two April or May games.
+ Exchanges begin Wednesday morning, and must be made by April 22.

I'm sure they really didn't want to cancel that one..

forecast for 1 pm gametime is 33 degrees

Kluber sets them down in order!

Guess we should have tried harder to trade for Betts...
