At least they won't face Verlander even though it won't matter. Will they win the first and then lose the next two? That's been the pattern lately.

Actually, the three pitching this upcoming series for Detroit have done better lately than Verlander over his last three games.

Talk about a blah slate of pitching match ups for the two teams that were suppose to sit atop this division.
They all are so neutral that I could see either team sweeping.

Good news for Detroit they don't have to pitch Verlander against the Tribe. What is he 5 and 4? Give a pitcher the MVP and a dumb commercial and they fall apart. Pitching for a team that has only 1 more AL Central title than KC who has zero can't be easy.
That's why I'm bbmind.
Coach Tressel went 9-1 vs. Michigan and won a NC. Thanks for the great run.

the draft starts today and for all the complaints about the Dolans and not spending money on free agents the Indians biggest failure since John Hart stepped down is their innability to draft and develope major league players. of the Indians current roster Petsano, Sipp, Raffy Perez, Gomez, Kipinis, Tomlin, Barnes and Chisenhall are the players they draft/signed and developed all the way through the monors. of that group Chisenhall is the only 1st rd guy and he just got called up and it unproven....Sipp couldn't get me out..Barnes is yet to prove himself....Tomlin, Pestano, and Gomez seem ok but nothing special, Perez was inconsistant and now hurt...really at this point Kipnis is the only guy who seems to have a lot of potential but we shall see what Chisenhall becomes
since Shapiro took over as GM in 01 and now into the Antonetti years the Indians 1st rd picks

a small market organization like the Indians must do a better job of drafting and developing it's own players if they want to stay competitive...it is sad how bad they have been
I think we found Kyrie Irving

Tigers take two of three.
I think the Tribe will shoot their wad in one game and then go back to wear they have been of late.

One year ago today he was 5-4. So what past performance doesn't guarantee future results. Tigers still the Tigers, one more AL Central Title than KC who has zero.

That also explains why Cleveland hasn't won a World Series since 1948, right?

..even the 5-4 Verlander is better than anything the tribe has at this point.

Detroit is throwing Casey Crosby Thursday.
Looks good on paper...
...but he throws from the left handed position. So it probably isn't.

Carlos is expected to rejoin the team tonight. And it appears as though there is a 50/50 chance he will start. He will be available though regardless.

I would be amazed if the Indians win even one. I can see them being swept. There is no spark, no pride in at one time being in first space.

He has control of all his pitches.
Down 3-1 and comes back to strike out Laird. That is something we haven't saw all season.
Finish the 7th and turn it over to Pestano and Perez.

Ubaldo departs after 6.2.
EXCELLENT performance. Only one walk and it was his last batter of the game.

I was listening to the radio and someone mentioned that he has this weird hitch in his delivery where he takes his glove to his face as soon as he releases the pitch as if he might be afraid to get line drived by a hit ball.
I wonder if this holds some truth and why he struggles the way he does. I cannot believe a guy can be so dominate at a young age and then all of a sudden just be awful.

There was talk that some inside the organization thought he may have been tipping his pitches.
I didn't really see anything different in terms of release point or basic mechanics, but he was much more fluid tonight and didn't overthrow like he has a tendency to.

He eliminated the walks which is what helped him out big time. Love that.
He also fired a lot of fastballs and mixed in the off speed stuff occasionally. Fantastic start.
