Is Martinez really the best we can do?

I thought at first I was watching another team, maybe the Orioles. It's the trim I hatr.

Sloppy game by the tribe. Let's hope nobody gets hurt and we come home healthy.

Martinez drops a force out at first on a bunt attempt to Santana. Then gets caught napping on a delayed still. Perfect throw by Perez. Right on the bag. Martinez late in covering. Frazier called out because the ball was there in plenty of time but Martinez was very late in covering. The call was over turned. Frazier was ruled safe. Fanned twice in two trips. If Martinez is not optioned out after today's efforts, I'd be shocked.

No options left for Martinez. Have to be DFA

Guy has no business on a major league roster and I'm sick of seeing him.

I hope we learned some lessons from Holland on Sunday because this may get tougher:
Houston 13-6 vs Cleveland (10-8)
Keuchel (L) 3-0 ( 0.96 ERA ) vs Tomlin (R) 1-2 ( 11.68 ERA )
BUT !!
It looks like we match up really well against him:

Here's a recap of all the Indians games played so far this season:

So! What's the scuttbutt in Cleveland? I just saw the tail end of Chicago Sports Channel and they were saying Cleveland is looking around.....for what?

A team that can compete in the NFL!

For all the talk of phasing out Chief Wahoo, I note that he is once again on the Indians caps tonight. I think I've only seen one or 2 games since before the postseason last year that they've worn the block C caps.

I know how we can shorten our ball games. Forfeit all games against all southpaw starters.

I just wish that opposing pitchers would give our team 1/2 the pitches out over the plate that we serve up to the opposition.

Sports Time Ohio never shows the pitch cast. WGN and CSN give the front view and top view of every pitch. Sport Time Ohio should get with the program.

On average, I would guess that Indian pitchers throw more strikes over the plate, at least 25% of the time, more than the opposition. We hardly ever get good pitches to hit. It's too bad that you can't see where the pitches are pitched. Extremely informative.
