Goofballs:
**Indians Offense- The Indians struck out 15 times and walked just 1 time. Wow, good grief.
**C.B. Bucknor- How is that MLB still employs this idiot? The last strike call was ridiculous too. A low pitch that any other time would have been called a ball, he then made a late call to end the game. He truly is one of the worst umpires in the league and he should be fired.

On Deck:
Wow, this team finds a different way to lose every game. The offense has been struggling to say the least. It just seems like this team has given up, where as opposed to last year, they fought and fought, even when the season was over with. Oakland does not give up and now they are being awarded on a 5 game winning streak because of that. The Indians, meanwhile could finish this road trip 0-7 if they continue this pace. Saturday's game is not on TV, it will air on WTAM 1100-AM instead, it starts at 4:05 PM. Jeremy Sowers (6-9, 4.49) will try and change the tide so to speak. He will be opposed by Gio Gonzales (5-6, 6.31). Let's hope the Indians at least try. |
