Hopefully Ventura tries to change the lineup around. I'm fine with ADA leading off, but I think Alexei should bat 2nd.

 

I agree. Not sure what they're trying to prove batting Beckham 2nd, other than he sucks.

Dunn is all over Masterson tonight

Downs warming up in the bullpen.

At least Dunn seems to be avoiding the curse of everything falling apart.

 

It would be ironic if he becomes a more valuable bat than Sandoval or Headley going into next season.

 

 

 

Viciedo 0 for 16 career against Masterson.

Heading for 0/17.

This is where not having Eaton and a 3/34 Jordan Danks is killing this offense.

 

Ramirez hitting .170 against Masterson lifetime.

Alexei is hitting about .170 vs. Masterson.

Robin loves giving the game completely away by putting Down out there

At times this year, you could say that about every member of the bullpen.

What the hell was that by Viciedo?

Man on 2nd no outs not getting the job done.

Alexei is hitting about .170 vs. Masterson.

 

Big picture, I don't care. Beckham shouldn't be hitting 2nd right now.

This team is playing horrible baseball. Day in, day out, they look like they've never been coached a day in their life.

The good news is Dunn will clearly be benched/punished somehow for a boneheaded baserunning msitake there.

What the hell was that by Viciedo?

 

 

0/17 career, is what it was. (With everyone healthy, he would be on the bench, clearly...and not in the Top 5 AL hitting ranks, although he's about to slide out of that the way he's been going this week.)

 

 

Ventura's going to have to get this team together tomorrow morning for a mandatory practice.

 

Dunn didn't even slide there. Just a TERRIBLE game from every perspective but Carroll's gutsiness and Dunn's offensive approach.

 

 

 

Of course, another great defensive play by Swisher.

Purgatory is here. At least we have our 3 wins this season against CLE already. Indians a completely different team at home.

What the hell is going on with this team! I know 5 yr old kids that do not play this brain dead.

Dunn is usually a slow but real good baserunner. That blunder was surprising.

Is that like 9 for 70 combined against Masterson batting back-to-back?

Apparently Carroll put out a video on youtube....homemade, thanking everyone and saying that he will endorse ANYTHING, whatever you need, he's your man.

 

Some needed levity this week. Does anyone have a link to that? Great sense of humor from the kid. Refreshing story and a breath of fresh air.

 

Go to www.youtube.com and type "Scott Carroll" into the search box.

Looking like a shutout.

Well this sucks...good news for the people like last year rooting for this team to lose though

It's really going to suck having to watch Mr. Below 100 bat the next two weeks. He's fine as a defensive replacement, but JorDanks just cannot hit.

I would have rather this team go .500 with all the young guys playing/healthy than the crap we've watched the last week.

 

Tonight lineup not even good for AAA team!

Look at his stance. That tells you all you need to know about him.

You reslly think this is no different than Little League.

 

Or else why would you want to punish the team and leave a hot Adam Dunn on the bench for a game as punishment for a mistake he rarely makes and is fully aware should not happen.

Why Downs again?
