With Chisenhall even contributibg some, one knows we are playing above the 1st part of the year. If the pitching does what it is capable of doing we have a real shot.

The big difference I find with the hitting this year is better balance up and down the lineup. Last year was almost automatic outs for the lower part of the order. Lots of guys contributing instead of 1 or 2 guys carrying the team.

Hope the old guys can beat the grind.

Great job by Bauer tonight!

We all know the potential of Bauer and have seen it from time to time.

If he continues to mature and develop we have something there.

As well, if Tomlin AND Bauer continue to produce, this rotation is big time scary.

Minor[??] blip: Salazar skipping a start, but not on the DL with a tired shoulder.

I felt the same this morning, and pushed back my weight-lifting and just did the power-walking.

The lineup tonight (similar to last night) is one I like a lot better. With Davis at the top and Santana 5th.

Figures, I comment I like lineup and we muster all of one run.

Think you're having a bad day?

Yan Gomes left tonights game with a testicular contusion.

Back to Columbus for Anderson after another stinker. He teased us with a good start last time out.

Give Meritt another shot

Regarding Anderson, our "6th" starter slot is one that has not worked out at all so far. Clevenger and Anderson.

Team was due for a dud. Bauer's excellent outing delayed that for a game.

(I still can't believe they played in Cleveland Sunday, had a 3 hour rain delay, then had a game IN Seattle on Monday. Crazy.)

As we call it in basketball, schedule loss.

Regarding Gomes:

"I don’t think he's probably having the best night of his life," manager Terry Francona told reporters after Tuesday's game.

That must have been a bit freakish as it goes without saying catchers wear cups.

Loufla, if this board had a "Like" button I'd click it twice.

Offense has disappeared again in Seattle.

Sleeping in Seattle.

Naquin comes through again!

He just threw the head of the bat at the ball and knocked it out for 2 run shot. Tribe up 4-2 in 8th
