Cleveland Sports Forum

Your guess as good as mine as to why Stamets is still on roster.

since they do they have options for the remaining couple weeks while we're Frankie-less

Indians: Daniel Johnson, OF (No. 22) -- 3-for-5, 2 2B, 4 RBI (Double-A Akron)
Johnson has now driven in four runs in back-to-back games and is 5-for-8 at the plate in that span. The 23-year-old impressed the Indians during Spring Training and if he keeps raking like this, it likely won't be long until he is bumped up to Triple-A and eventually to Cleveland.

CLE AA Clement, Ernie 2B 3 2 0 0 .120 2 BB (2), SB (1) looked a lot better in Goodyear
CLE AA Johnson, Daniel LF 4 0 3 4 .294 2 2B (3), SB (2)
CLE AAA Bradley, Bobby 1B 0 0 0 0 .235 had the day off until late innings
CLE AAA Chang, Yu 2B 5 0 0 0 .171 not quite ready to step up to the majors
CLE AAA Haase, Eric C 4 1 1 2 .182 HR (3) homers or bust for Eric
CLE AAA Mercado, Oscar CF 4 0 1 0 .265 BB (5)
CLE HiA Gonzalez, Oscar DH 5 0 1 1 .340 2B (4)
CLE HiA Jones, Nolan 3B 3 1 2 0 .250 2 BB (11)
CLE LoA Benson, Will LF 3 2 1 2 .281 HR (2), BB (6) his strikeouts are still high but he's hitting a lot better
CLE LoA Freeman, Tyler 2B 4 1 1 0 .294
CLE LoA Holmes, Quentin CF 4 0 0 0 .147 let's just say it's early
CLE LoA Oviedo, Luis 0.2 3 6 6 3 0 5.06 L (2-1)

When our class A pitchers this April are good, they are [Oviedo, Burgos, Morgan, Hillman, Mejia twice each; Garza once] very very good but when they are bad [Garza twice and now Oviedo once] they are horrid

#Indians (3B) prospect Nolan Jones has reached base in 22 straight games for the (High A) Lynchburg Hillcats dating back to the end of the 2018 season.
22-80 17R 5(2B) 7RBI 23BB 2SB .275 AVG .442 OBP

only doubles among xb hits? Well, he's got time to develop and drawing all those walks is a very good sign.

JC Mejia with 3 great innings, no runs, 2 hits 5 K. But he lost it in the 4th and 3 have scored.

Chang working for Columbus. He never does very well and today is kind of typical, 3-4-2-2-9-4 HR.
Johnson with a single and a double and it's only the 2nd inning for Akron. Hentges has had two really terrible starts. Tonight 1 run in his first inning. ERA stands at 9.35
Raymond Burgos going for Lake County, 0.87 in his first 2 starts, just about the same as Mejia had going in. Game just getting underway.

James Karinchak Only struck out four of the five batters he faced tonight. His K per nine ending ratio dropped from 27 to 25.2.

Might be time to give up on him!

Indians Prospective @indiansPro
#Indians RHP prospect Nick Sandlin is on his way to Akron & should be activated by the weekend to join the RubberDucks bullpen. Sandlin had been dealing w/ a right forearm issue. Organization was holding him back in Goodyear out of precaution. Sandlin is a top relief prospect.

Both Columbus and Akron playing early today. Akron game is starting now I think, but cant find TV link. Ugh. There is a link for Clip Show in a bit though, and will be nice to see Frankie.

The nights run down from @indiansPro. Good to see Freeman and Johnson stay hot. And this Linfor kid in Columbus may have some potential.

Yay, the Akron link is up. Game will start soon.

I have the day off, so get to watch a lot of day baseball. Even the Indians play late this afternoon.

Sandlin and Karinchak together in the Akron bullpen could be coming attraction for the Indians bullpen by the end of this season.

And speaking of relievers, Broom as you noted has an ERA of zero and has fanned 11 in 6 innings, with 2 walks.
And Aaron Pinto another 2018 draftee in Lake County has the same spotless ERA and has fanned 44 in 8 1/3 walking 2
