Streaks

What is with it with the Tribe? Win five in a row, then start another losing streak ( including 2 losses against the lowely Devil Rays?)
What worries me about the Tribe's woes is that their offense right now is overachieiving, and its hard to believe it will continue to lead the AL in OBP. Although Martinez and Hafner are having excellent second seasonsalong with the real Matt Lawton coming back from the dead, the Tribe's bullpen better shape up soon, because the offense is not going to stay at its current level.

Also, I like the move of Gerut to center, but Escobar's error in tonight's game was very costly ( Note to Ryan Ludwick- get back soon buddy).

Pappas

Even though I am only a couple months into blog's, and reading other's blogs on a daily basis, Doug Pappas' was one of the first weblogs i came to check on a regular basis. His intelligence and insight for the game of baseball was second to none, and his death is certainly a very unfortunate surprise.
God Bless his family and friends, he will be missed.

Everyone out there let this remind you that life isnt about wishing, its about doing.

A Tribe thumping

Jason Davis again struggled with his command tonight, but i guess the good thing is he is quite young (just turned 24) so we got a lot of time to find out if he can consistently do what most feel he is capable of. I would talk about the Indians' bullpen struggles, but that is nothing new and talking about it more would only depress me more.
Atleast Victor Martinez continues to impress going 1-2 with an HR and a BB.

First Entry

After failing to find any Cleveland Indians baseball blogs, I decided to make my own. I have lived in the Cleveland area my entire life so it was inevitable that I would become an Indians fan. Sure the Indians had some awesome teams in the mid 90's, but since I was a young teenager when they had their success, I couldnt appreicate it as much as those that had seen them play the years previously when they were horrendous. So right now I am relishing watching the Indians current young team come together into something (I hope).

Anyways, Id like to talk about anything on this blog, but I will mostly focus on the Indians, Sabermetrics, and anything else baseball related.
