myLot Discussions| An analysis on the Cleveland Indians | | For all Tribe fans, I would like to share this with you about a piece with the Tribe. Now, this year has been how you say embarassing to say the least. I know and I don't like this anymore than anyone else. There have been injuries and that hasn't helped this team out but there have been problems. So many uncertain questions whether they keep CC or don't. I don't have the answer and I wish I could help.http://www.sportales.com/Baseball/What-is-Wrong-with-the-Cleveland-Indians.126624This was written a little over a month ago so information may be outdated. Would you agree that this season has been embarassing and most importantly, will this team ever put together the right combination to win a championship? Personally, I'm tired of this rebuild to next year and it turns out to be another failure. It really stuns me on how this team almost made the World Series and now tied for last place. Talk about a shocking turn of events. Unless this team catches fire in the 2nd half, they have no chance of salvaging this season.I hope you enjoy and please fill free to give your thoughts on it. | |
| | | | Cleveland Cavs and Cleveland Indians | | Today is an exciting day in Cleveland both the Cleveland Cavs and the Cleveland Indians Play Detroit at about the same time.. Who do you think will come out ahead. I say Cleveland will win in both games t place. Talk about a shocking turn of events. Unless this team catches fire in the 2nd half, they have no chance of salvaging this season.I hope you enjoy and please fill free to give your thoughts on it. | |
| | | 2007-05-03 Toronto Blue Jays (McGowan) at Cleveland Indians (Lee) | | The Jays here are trying to avoid being swept in a series in which they probably should have been the ones completing the sweep. They had Burnett go in the first game, and had Cleveland down to their last pitcher yesterday.Both starters for both teams are making their 2007 debuts tonight and ours looks to have much more potential than theirs. I try not to show it much, but I am a huge fan of offenses that go deep into counts and waste pitches. Knowing the pitch count era for what it is, I know that the more wasted pitches, the shorter a starter lasts.I am hoping that the Jays can do that. I want Cliff Lee out of there ASAP, make him throw 20 pitches an inning, he'll be out in 5 for SURE, maybe even 4. Cleveland used EVERY pitcher last night, I'm hoping that makes half of them unavailable for tonight. Maybe that'll lead to their starter being in too long and screwing up. That's what the Jays need to do to win this game, spend the first third burning the starter, spend the 2nd 3rd clobbering whoever comes in and spend the final third of the game holding on for dear life.What are your thoughts on the game? | |
| | 2007-05-02 Toronto Blue Jays (Zambrano) at Cleveland Indians (Westbrook) | | I think the Jays have somewhat written off this game as a transition for Zambrano from pen to rotation as they are only expecting 3 innings out of him. They picked the right game to experiment though. Their bats could use some heating up after last nights disappointment, and they are facing somebody with a 7.96 ERA. Westbrook has been getting better, but I am hoping the Jays will throw a wrench in those plans.The Jays will be looking to salvage the series as Zambrano looks for his first career win against Cleveland. I say this game is a pick 'em.What are your thoughts on the game?

| | Who do you want back? | | Out of all the former Indians players, which one would you like to come back, dead or alive? | |
| | Tribe Vs Sox | | So are any of you going to any of these games against the Red Sox? If so, where are you sitting at? I don't have tickets to any of the games, but I wish I did, it would be amazing. Let's just hope it doesn't rain tonight in Boston. | |
| | 2007-05-01 Toronto Blue Jays (Burnett) at Cleveland Indians (Sabathia) | | WOW! Can you say picthers duel? Apparently AJ Burnett has a 1.31 ERA in night games, and CC Sabathia is a perennial Cy Young Candidate who is looking to lose his first game this year. OK not looking, but asking for. I think this will be a pitchers duel, but I think the Jays will eventually get to Sabathia. Burnett pitches well when the pressure is high and the centre of attention is elsewhere.Last outing he pitched very well shutting out the Yankees and I expect more of the same. Yesterday, I accurately predicted Troy Glaus would have a large impact on the game, so I feel obligated to offer a prediction. mlb.com says to watch out for Royce Clayton. I am predicting that Frank Thomas will do something since April is now officially over.The team who's starter goes longest probably has an 85% chance of winning this game. I don't know the state of the Indians bullpen, but I'm pretty sure everybody is available and they will likely avouid using Zambrano or Towers.The Jays say somebody will be promoted to replace Chacin, I think they should just leave Towers in while Chacin is out, give him 3 more starts to do something with. He may actually win 1 or 2, McGowan might... | |
