before I go some highlights today Messick very sharp innings 1 hit no runs 8 K 1 walk Halpin single double triple Enright is back at work although needs some work: 3 walks in a scoreless inning Akron ahead 16-7 Bazzana single and 2 walks Ingle double and walk Mooney two singles Burgos single and dou...

after today's game, I can't be far enough away!

'GOING AWAY for about 10 day. Please take care of the Guardians, the Clippers, the Rubberducks, the Captains and the Hillcats.
Thank you,

Nikhazy and Allard both added to the roster, Allard I think as the 26th man. He had a good spring training until his last game and a poor start in Columbus: 4.86 ERA, But options are very thin: Only other pitchers on the 40 man roster who are not on IL are Cody Bolton and that's the end of the list....

Kwan double, single, run scored, rbi#15
Ramirez two singles, run scored, rbi #14
Martinez two singles
Jones double, run scored, 3 strikeouts
Santana sac fly, walk, rbi, hbp, strikeout
Arias single and rbi
Hedges single and sac
Schneemann single
Wilson hbp
Everyone was on base at least once

Game 1:
Lively 5 innings, 4 runs, 3 in the first inning.
Herrin the 6th and start the 7th
Gaddis the 3 outs in the 7th
CLASE IN THE 8TH Perfect, 2 strikeouts
Smith in the 9th: first two on base, then fly out; fly out; strikeout

Inevitably, Straw's offense has subsided, hitless in his last 10, but overall still at a nice 282 with a solid 743 OPS. Giminez will undoubtedly start hitting again at some point, not last night, at least he got on base twice, he's slipped to 189 with 610 OPS the latter so high due to those 3 homeru...

7 lefties in gameone lineup with Martinez in CF, Jones in RF, Schneemann at 2nd, Arias at SS.
Continuing a long trend, 2 of the 3 outfielders have no homeruns, which is also true for the absent Noel and the injured Thomas. Of all people, Kwan is the only slugger among the group.

Lousy weather today in Cleveland but not raining, so I guess they'll play two. Nikhazy will have to confront: Red Sox, cold weather, nerves in his debut in game 2.

We hope we can inspire you, and each other, for awhile longer. I became a Tribe fan by osmosis from my parents: my Dad was a fan since about 1915; the first event in my Cleveland baseball history was the Vic Power [cool name], Woody Held, Roger Maris, Dick Tomanek trade sometime in the summer of 1958.

We don't expect much from Carlos in the first month or even two. It would be nice that if changed but we Manzardo to play first and our big slugger Noel could be DH.
And sooner than later we'll have Kayfus up to share 1B/DH with Manzardo
