Cabrera was ...but Prince pulled a big O-fer.

Three run homer and nothing else. Not sure why anyone is surprised, same #### every single night. Bad approaches at the plate tell me the team isn't prepared and has no gameplan, that process belongs to Lloyd and ultimately Leyland. I do like Leyland for the most part, but every year I resent him more and more for having guys like Lamont and Lloyd on the payroll. I think at some point Dombrowski has to say enough is enough, getting swept in Cleveland might be that point to be honest.Cabrera was ...but Prince pulled a big O-fer.

I completely agree but I'm not holding my breath that Lloyd will be replaced. He should be though because this is not much different than getting rid of Knapp when the pitchers were struggling.Three run homer and nothing else.

was Knapp a "leyland" guy? seems he would be more loyal to Lamont and Lloyd. I dont think either of them go anywhere.I completely agree but I'm not holding my breath that Lloyd will be replaced.

Thanks for the info. Still trying to figure out if we want to head to Detroit....or Pittsburgh on July 4th.

This home plate umpire can blow me. That pitch to Cabera was 6 inches outside the strike zone, ####### #######.

K zone showed it was way out of the box genius. Not even close and this guy has been horrible all day. Is this your first time watching a baseball game?

I don't know what channel you are watching, but on Sports Time Ohio their zone showed it as a strike. In either case it wasn't 6 inches outside. Santana just framed it poorly.You're seriously trying to argue what I saw on my tv?no it didn'tI'm not even sure how to argue with dumb Cleveland fans.

There was more black between the K zone box and that pitch than there is between Atlanta and Mobile. Nice throw Fielder.I don't know what channel you are watching, but on Sports Time Ohio their zone showed it as a strike. In either case it wasn't 6 inches outside.

Not really, this team isn't very good so I don't expect much. That was a clear ball though, Cleveland probably would have won 7-6 if Cabrera would have hit a grand slam though.

Another called third strike on what was a ball. This guy is just ####### horrible, too much of this in 2012.

Well that wasn't Coke's fault today, not at all. I'm trying to figure out how the Tigers can move Cabrera back to 1B and have Fielder as DH when Victor comes back, maybe he can play rover. I still don't think the infield is as bad as I thought it would be, but Fielder really is bad. I don't even care about the range, him dropping throws to first which he should have and making critical throwing errors like he did tonight on a simple play...really is worrisome.

Yep. When they loaded the bases I sent my buddy a text:
Peralta who has been one of the better hitters lately swung at a ball in the dirt, Santiago is a fill so I don't blame him and then Avila looks at a close pitch (which was a strike) on a 3-2 count with a homeplate ump that was all over the place. Last night and for several weeks now, they get all their runs off home runs. How about an inning with a single, walk, sac bunt, single? With the starting pitching they are going to be in every series/game and it is going to get more and more frustrating, much more than it was in 2008. The other teams in the division are playing with zero expectations and won't feel any pressure until August. I'm guessing they'll put a run together soon but they'll revert right back to being a team that can't score runs on singles or be patient enough to draw walks against a terrible pitcher like Ubaldo Jiminez. They badly miss VMart and our best player this year is going to be out for an extended period it seems. Not good.

aren't you a Browns fan? Browns and Tigers?

They drew like 8 walks the other night, 6 off Ubaldo. That seems pretty good.

The tigers went 2-for-12 with runners in scoring position and stranded 10 last night. The tigers have a good share of money invested in big sticks, they need to wake up.

He must be from toledo. They have weird allegiances. I knew a guy from Toledo who was a Wings/Tigers/Bengals/OhioState fan.

I think he was looking for that curve which was fooling everyone that inning. Watched a fastball go right by him.Tie game, late innings, bases loaded and Avila leaves his bat on his shoulder on that 3-2 pitch?

They are 12th in the AL in walks Cleveland troll. Why don't you head down to the ballpark and push the attendance over 20k?

We're just so hot and cold. One night we get the walks, then we don't. Avila gets a clutch hit one night, then freezes on another (as he also did a week ago or so as I recall). Coke is great; then ..not.

Eeaaaasssyyy there, Bitterman. You specifically said they couldn't draw walks off Ubaldo, which they did. If you meant they haven't been drawing walks all year, you should have said that. Don't worry Tilty Tilterson, in less than an hour you can start rubbing one out to Verlander.

What's crazy is they should have drawn even more walks, Delmon and Prince specifically were hacking away when Usucko couldn't throw strikes. After he was pulled I was blown away he had so many walks seeing how many bad pitches early in the count some of our guys were swinging at.

That was my point, could have been 14 walks.

Hopefully he gets on a tear in June or July and we can trade him for some bullpen help, even when he was hitting last year his plate approach bothered me. Didn't say anything because he was producing, now that he's not he can't get out of town fast enough. Silver lining, if we find our way out of this funk and we can't move him when Victor comes back Delmon becomes a bench bat.Delmon refuses to let the 1st pitch go by.

As that Detroit fan in town that loved making fun of the Indians for having to deal with him my phone blew up when that trade went down. The tables had turned.But I was more upset when we re-signed him. He is the king of the meaningless 3 run homer in a 9-1 ball game and his defense is why I am still reluctant to buy into 'advanced statistics' that try to convince me he doesn't suck at short.'Bobcat10 said:'wadegarrett said:
