Donald with a smooth play for out number two....

Carrera did not come to the Indians in the Joe Smith trade. He was traded to Seattle in the Joe Smith trade. Traded for Branyan about a year and a half later.

The Mets traded Carrera along with Endy Chávez, Aaron Heilman, Mike Carp, and Jason Vargas to the Seattle Mariners in a 12-player deal on December 10, 2008.[1]

Carrera had a break-out 2009 season batting .337 with two home runs, 38 RBIs and 27 steals batting lead-off for the Double-A West Tenn Diamond Jaxx of the Midwest League. He was named to the Southern League Mid-Season All-Star Team on June 29.[2] He was placed on the disabled list on July 9 with a right thumb injury.[3][4] He was reinstated on August 1.[3] Carrera and teammate Greg Halman were selected to the 2009 Southern League Postseason All-Star Team as voted upon by the league's field managers, radio broadcasters and print media.[5] Carrera was also a mid-season All-Star selection as well is leading the league in batting average.[5][6]

[edit] Cleveland IndiansOn June 26, 2010 he was traded to the Cleveland Indians along with Juan Díaz for Russell Branyan.

Tying run up...

Josh Hamilton facing Chris Perez for the first time.....and singles to right.


Should have been a day game....



Tying run at the plate.

We need free baseball again.

GRRRRRRRRRR!

Free baseball.

Who pitches the 10th?


I guess the Harvard guy?



Perez at 16 pitches...maybe a 2nd inning?

Perez need to start pitching in the 6th or 7th. His pitches are too straight. He can throw his glove as much as he wants.

I know he didn't come to The Indians in that trade. Only noted he was in the three team deal involving Valbuena At least according to baseballreference.com:



December 11, 2008: Traded as part of a 3-team trade by the Seattle Mariners to the Cleveland Indians. The Seattle Mariners sent Sean Green, J.J. Putz and Jeremy Reed to the New York Mets. The New York Mets sent Mike Carp, Ezequiel Carrera, Endy Chavez, Maikel Cleto, Aaron Heilman and Jason Vargas to the Seattle Mariners. The New York Mets sent Joe Smith to the Cleveland Indians. The Cleveland Indians sent Franklin Gutierrez to the Seattle Mariners.

LaPorta on the pond for Fukudome. Not a good candidate to score on a double.


Go deep.

Single works, and keeps it going as Washington throws his silver dollar across the base line to come get Adams.

STO give a clue who's on for us in the 10th?

Texas has not.


I'm going to guess that if we get a lead here, Acta goes back to Perez.

Well, we didn't get the lead. STO hasn't said.

Duncan leaves us Hines as he grounds into a rally ending DP.

We want an 11th.
