14778And we lose, as Gomes Ks.
Each team with only 3 hits but the Stros capitalized.
Still 161 games to go, but I bet kenm has already thrown in the towel.

Re: GameTime!™
14779Just turned it on and thought it would be about the 5th innings then I remembered that we dont do runs and then it was done.
At least it was quick and I could change the channel to the game. Boy does college basketball look amateurish after watching the NBA all season.

Re: GameTime!™
14780Raburn grounded out to pitcher, Santana to third, Gomes to second. 0 1
This guy needs to go. Lineup full of lefties so the few righty bats need to be productive. Hardly any worse options for RH half of a DH platoon, starting with Aguillar; is Jerry Sands Righty, too?
Re: GameTime!™
14781Speaking of RH hitters who are available. For 4 seasons previous to 2014 Carlos Quentin had OPS over 800. His 599 last year is terrible when compared to anyone other than Raburn. He's now available as Braves DFA him; there is the little issue of his $8M salary
Re: GameTime!™
14782There's going to be a lineup of American league teams that could use a right handed DH looking to get Quentin on the cheap. I too am hoping the Tribe is in that line.
If not, I am hoping the Tribe knows something we don't about Raburn. Namely that he is on track for a performance recovery this season.

Re: GameTime!™
14783Isn't Raburn one of those guys who alternates good years with bad? Maybe this is supposed to be a "good" year.
Re: GameTime!™
14784Better get someone that can hit soft-tossing leftys. Based on yesterday's offensive performance, Tribe is going to see every lefty their opponents have.
Re: GameTime!™
14785That's why it would make to sense to have Aguillar and/or Sands instead of the unnecessary 8th reliever and/or Raburn.
Re: GameTime!™
14786Of course on only slightly deeper thought I realize that "we don't need Quentin" since Swisher is coming back to fill the role of RH DH/RF.
Re: GameTime!™
14787End of 5 Tribe 1-0. What's up with black jerseys or is my eyesight getting worse.
Re: GameTime!™
14788Carrasco out for the 7th. Gets the 1st batter and Hagadone is brought in. He proceeds to walk the 1st batter (LH) and then gets an aggressive batter grounds into a double play to Chisinhall. Oh wait Lonnie lets it hit off his glove. Bring in REPRXINKXI and one pitch double play. still 1-0 Tribe top of 8
