Here We Go Again

Yeah that was interesting.

Two Straight Extra Innings Losses: Finding new ways to lose is always the name of the game.

The Pirates call themselves the Buccos.. Sometimes they say Yucko Baseball..

Well the Indians are playing Yucko Baseball.

So, another decent pitching performance thrown away by lack of run support.

The Indians found more ways to leave guys on base.. 26 this time..

The biggest at-bat to me was in the bottom of 8th... Asdrubal Cabrera up with guys on 2nd and 3rd with one out.

Strikeout.

Asdrubal is getting really hard to watch up there. He made another spectacular defensive play. But he is hitting .182 and not doing a good job of situational hitting. Just striking out, not putting the ball in play, taking good pitches to hit.

Just awful baseball... He needs to be sent down. I know the defense is great, but Barfield is no stiff and the hitting is just too unbearable to suffer through.

Also..

Michael Aubrey.. I love the guy and his potential, but he still needs AAA Seasoning.. The three starts in a row over Garko is unacceptable. Maybe it will get Garko going, but you need to get him back in there.

Credit to the back end of the pen for stretching it out as long as they did.

Discredit Scott Elarton for sucking.. So much for that "hot hand" thing...

Jhonny Peralta might be heating up a little bit with the home runs. I'll take any offense, but just about all but 2 or 3 of his jacks have been solo shots. He only has 7 more RBI than he has homers.

Today... Another rematch, between Aaron Laffey and Mark Buehrle.
