Well, the afternoon game was pretty “mehhh” for Indians fans.  Here’s hoping they can turn it around in tonight’s game, before they head back to Cleveland for the home opener Friday.  (If you’re going, start collecting water-proof items now.  I’ve been trying to determine which pair of gloves are most water-proof).

Both the Indians and A’s will be utilizing the 26th man on the rosters for game 2.  For the Indians, they will add C.C. Lee to the bullpen (which is good, since they went to the bullpen pretty darn early in game 1).  The A’s added their game 2 starter, Josh Lindblom.

Here are the lineups:

Indians:

Nyjer Morgan, CF

Nick Swisher, 1B

Jason Kipnis, DH

Carlos Santana, C

Michael Brantley, LF

Asdrubal Cabrera, SS

David Murphy, RF

Mike Aviles, 2B

Lonnie Chisenhall, 3B

Zach McAllister, P

Athletics:

Sam Fuld, CF

Josh Donaldson, 3B

Jed Lowrie, SS

Brandon Moss, DH

Yoenis Cespedes, LF

John Jaso, C

Josh Reddick, RF

Nick Punto, 2B

Dario Barton, 1B

Josh Lindblom, P
