@CuffCamlin: I agree with you on Carmona. I’m still holding out hope on Talbot. You know how sometimes you just like a player although you can’t explain why? Personally, I’m still waiting for Alex White to come off the DL.

I would agree homeruns happen by accident when guys are swinging the right way.But for a while the Tribe was trying to make champaign with Raisins.We had so many of our hitters injured or slumping that It seemed like Asdrubal was having to be a one man team.The rptation is solid but What do you do with guys like talbot when you have 3 starters in AAA that are ready now.Tomlin ,Masterson & Carrasco are excellent but Talbot & Carmona are dragging the team down.We know Carmona can be a star but How long do you wait with so many aces in AAA.

I’m with you, Susan–I’d much rather have a few well-placed bunts to move the runners than guys swinging (futility) for the fences on every at-bat.

Having some fun despite the slide; I like it.

Better yet, it looks like the Tribe listened to your last line =)
