Tribe Struggles Again

Another loss by the Tribe tonight, this time to the Tigers 5-4. Lee didn't have one of his best starts, but the bullpen looked a lot like last years atleast. The offense only scored four runs, but with the amount of runs we scored in the KC series and got nothing from it, you can't be upset at them for ONLY scoring 4 runs. Carmona was brought up after the Indians' finally released Graves, but they still intend to make him a starter in the future. A few years back the Twins did the same thing with Johan Santana, and we all know how succesful that turned out to be. I think a similar outcome is possible with Carmona, and it will be interesting to see.

Indians' Bullpen Needs Soon to be Adressed

I was going to comment on what kind of bullpen changes could possibly be made in the next couple of days, but Shapiro beat me to it.

As the Indians' open their series with Detroit later today I hope that with both Lee and Sabathia starting our current bullpen flaws can be put aside for atleast 2 games of the series.
