Good game overall by the Tribe. I was kind of surprised that the Sox scored 3 runs off Tomlin. He was throwing his breaking stuff for strikes and hitting 90 and 91 mph on his fastball — top end fot him. Tomlin also did a great job mixing up his pitch selection. Thankfully the team gave him enough run support that he didn’t take a loss. His performance could have easily earned a W. Now Ubaldo really needs to step up. He kind of blows at the moment. He’s pitching like a 5 instead of a 2. Find the strike zone, UJ. Better things will happen!

Yeah, I heard it and I loved it. Hamilton has always given his honest opinion about the officiating, both good and bad, which is one of many things I like about it.

Did anyone listening on the radio happen to catch Tom Hamilton talking about the umpires from last night’s game? I believe his exact words were “You won’t catch this crew officiating a World Series any time soon”. At one point Asdrubal Cabrera checked his swing and it was called a strike by the 1st base umpire. Cabrera went on to ground out and had an exchange with the 1st base umpire who, in Hamilton’s words “Wagged his finger at Cabrera”. The home plate umpire then proceeded to delay play because he was “staring down Cabrera in the dugout”. The whole episode concluded with Hamilton saying “This guy (the home plate umpire) needs to worry about calling the balls and strikes and not looking into the Indians dugout. Then again, he may have spotted a ham sandwich in there…” It was classic dry sarcasm from Hamilton.

Where would the Tribe be without Jack Hannahan? He has just been so solid and consistant both on offense & defense! We are very lucky to have him and see him play on an every day basis!
