Ubaldo Gives Cleveland Hope in Loss to Toronto
Posted on 7 Apr 2012 by Eric Kastner.
One of the biggest question marks heading into opening day, was whether Ubaldo Jimenez would be able to get back to his all-star form in 2010. After being traded to Cleveland last year, Jimenez finished with a sub-par (4-4) record with an ERA of over 5 (5.10). Everyone in Northeast Ohio was unsure if Jimenez was mentally ready to start the year after intentionally throwing at Troy Tulowitzki, a...

Indians Exceed Expectations In 2011, Looking to compete with Detroit for AL Central in 12′
Posted on 28 Mar 2012 by Eric Kastner.
Outlook: Cleveland is coming off an (80-82) record from a year ago, in which they held the central division lead for over two months to start the season. Solid pitching accounted for most of those wins as the tribe seemed to show enough promise for Cleveland fans to remain optimistic heading into next Thursday's home opener. Probable Lineup: [CF] Michael Brantley Can Santana Lead Clev...

Indians Season Offseason Review Part 1: Results
Posted on 28 Dec 2011 by Bradley Ross.
It's been a couple months, but it's time to look back on the Indians season and review how they did and by doing so, be able to figure out what this team can do in the future. Sometimes its nice to take a little while to let the results sink in. If you set your expectations in the first couple months in the season, this was a disappointment, but no one was predicting this team getting thi...

Glory Days: Remembering Thome and His Legacy
Posted on 29 Aug 2011 by Bradley Ross.
There are firsts that many people remember. Their first love, their first sports game, their first job and their first sports crush. For me, it was Jim Thome. The year was 1995 and it was the first time I ever paid attention to what teams were playing or who was playing on those teams. It was a good year to be an Indians fan. The team was young, but they were still winning games and...

Choo Injury Signals End of Playoff Hopes
Posted on 24 Aug 2011 by Bradley Ross.
The Cleveland Indians playoff hopes are, for all intents and purposes, gone. They now stand at 63-64 (6.5 games back in the Division). What's worse is Shin Soo-Choo was injured in the game today. There is no news on the extent of the injury, but this is the last thing the Indians needed. If Choo has to go back on the Disabled List, Cleveland's playoff chances are shot. 6.5 games back do...

Tribe Wins 3 of 4, 1.5 Back
Posted on 19 Aug 2011 by Bradley Ross.
The Indians are on a roll recently. Their record might not fully reflect it but they are playing about as well as any team in the majors. In their last 15 games (since August 1st) they are 9-6. Consider that 10 of those 15 games were against the 3 division leaders in the American League and the first 7 of those were on the road against the 2 toughest of those leaders. The Indians h...

Indians Win 2 Straight Series, 2.5 Back
Posted on 14 Aug 2011 by Bradley Ross.
The Indians have won 2 straight series, one of which was against Detroit. In doing so, they have moved from 4 games back to 2.5 games back in the span of a week, a very sizable jump. What helped is winning 2 out of 3 against the Tigers. I knew that would be a key series going in and the team showed up. Starting pitching, hitting, bullpen, it was all there. They carried that momentum...

Bullpen Blows Golden Opportunities as Tribe Goes 3-4
Posted on 7 Aug 2011 by Bradley Ross.
If games ended after the 7th inning, the Indians would be on fire. Unfortunately they don't and you need to have a bullpen. The hitting has finally been solid and the starters have been quite good. The bullpen has been the culprit this week and so the Indians have blown multiple leads. This is the 2nd road trip that was ruined by a bad bullpen. Still, it could be worse. The India...

Indians are Winners at the Trade Deadline
Posted on 1 Aug 2011 by Bradley Ross.
Chris Antonetti said the Indians would try to make some moves at the trade deadline and he certainly was right. No other team was as active nor made as much of an impact on their team as the Indians did. They made 3 moves: they acquired Ubaldo Jimenez and Kosuke Fukudome and they got rid of dead weight in Orlando Cabrera. It will be key to see how these moves pan out because they h...

Bat is a Serious Need at the Deadline
Posted on 27 Jul 2011 by Bradley Ross.
The Indians have been struggling recently. They have lost 6 of their last 7 and lost 2 straight series' at home to sub .500 teams. The Indians have been a good home team too, which makes this stretch more dire when it comes to what needs to be done. The problem is that the offense is just putrid over this stretch and the lineup is starting to feel like its decimated by injuries. Sizem...

We will offer our opinions as to how we think the AL Central will play out. http://www.talk...

Indians bullpen struggles leave them at .500 after the break
Posted on 21 Jul 2011 by Bradley Ross.
The Bad news: The Indians bullpen gave up leads and the team was .500 on a road trip against 2 sub-.500 teams. The Good News: The Indians have struggled on the road all year and managed to go .500 through 8 games despite the bullpen struggling to maintain leads. The Indians definitely did not have their best series' this week, but its all about perspective sometimes. While they wer...
