one month passes...

GOODYEAR, Ariz. -- Center fielder Grady Sizemore will probably miss Opening Day on April 5 with a lower back injury.

"It's unlikely Grady will be ready for opening day," said Lonnie Soloff, Indians head athletic trainer.

Sizemore suffered the injury two weeks ago while fielding grounders in center fielder. The injury has delayed his rehab on his surgically repaired right knee.

5-game Ubaldo suspension

what a dumbass.

Porto for Pyros (The Cursed Return of the Dastardly Thermo Thinwall), Tuesday, 3 April 2012 04:53 (thirteen years ago)

what kind of suspension would have been levied had ubaldo admitted his intent?

mookieproof, Tuesday, 3 April 2012 15:09 (thirteen years ago)

Ubaldo is a head case, replacing the other head case Fausto Fakename.

Probably the worst exhibition baseball season i've ever seen by the Tribe but I'm still taking the day off tomorrow to watch the game at some bar somewhere.

Phil D., if you still monitor this thread, what are you up to?

brownie, Wednesday, 4 April 2012 14:19 (thirteen years ago)

CLEVELAND (AP)—Done rebuilding, the Cleveland Indians believe they’ve got enough talent to contend this season, next season and perhaps for many more.

Asdrubal Cabrera wants to be around for all of them.

Um...DONE REBUILDING???

how new are these C caps, and are they part of the gradual phasing-out of the awful chief wahoo logo?

lol brownie I just decided to check in here whilst listening to the ongoing debacle of this game. Best thing I've seen today: Someone tweeting re: Chris Perez, "It's ok guys he has a cool Twitter don't worry about the blown safe."

Frank Youngenstein (Phil D.), Thursday, 5 April 2012 23:56 (thirteen years ago)

JESUS

I went to Melt, Phil D. and Weatherington. I now am the proud owner of the heaviest takeout bag i ever did handle. this thing weighs at least three pounds

Highlights: a waitress declaring her undying love to Jack Hanahan. Hahanan then hits a three run homer.

Lowlights: i get a parking ticket in Cleveland Heights. WHO KNEW

brownie, Friday, 6 April 2012 00:30 (thirteen years ago)

OK ILX experts, you guys seem to know your Moneyball/stats shit: plz tell me if pulling Masterson really was the right move. My brother and I got into a heated 30-minute argument over this. He says you live and die by your closer. I say you live and die by the Master, and if his arm is tired as all hell, I still trust him over a guy who spent all spring training battling injuries to his oblique muscle. Someone please back me up here.

Mr. Snrub, Friday, 6 April 2012 00:55 (thirteen years ago)

i dunno, but i think pretty much every manager in the majors would have gone to perez. three-run lead, masterson's thrown 99 pitches -- presumably considerably more than he'd thrown in any spring training game. i mean, maybe perez shouldn't be the closer, but pulling masterson seems wholly defensible.

mookieproof, Friday, 6 April 2012 01:00 (thirteen years ago)

If you were at MELT you were just blocks from my house. I always just ask for a box as soon as I order there. I do like that bar, though!

CH parking cops are the worst, esp. when they don't bother to enforce rush hour restrictions on Euclid Hts Blvd.

Frank Youngenstein (Phil D.), Friday, 6 April 2012 01:04 (thirteen years ago)

Masterson was lights out the entire game. If a guy gets on base in the top of the ninth then go to Perez imo, but keep him in. HE'S YOUR ACE

i threw the dice on whether or not I'd get caught parking illegally in clevo heights. I lost.

brownie, Friday, 6 April 2012 01:45 (thirteen years ago)

If a guy gets on base in the top of the ninth then go to Perez imo, but keep him in

doesn't make sense, this sentence

keep the starter in is what i mean

Johnny Damon went 0 for 3 in his Indians debut in the middle game of the set before leaving the game with general cramping.
Too soon.

what was awesome about that play was that the RF didn't have to show the the ball to the ump. just got out of the stands and trotted back to the dugout, no ball anywhere to be seen. there were two outs and two guys on base nbd

You don't have to tell me. Last Friday, I went to a town hall luncheon thing at the Prog w/Mark Shapiro, and the team was so uninspiring that most of the questions were about concession prices. (Although it was funny to see Shapiro bristle at some sports blogger's statement that, since 2007, the team had only drafted "soft-tossing college lefties.")
