I was so obsessed with trying to catch Ubaldo Jimenez during the Detroit series, I didn’t even notice that they’d miss Verlander. Very good news! The Indians have had some success against Detroit this year, so I’m hoping that continues next week. I think the great news about the Boston series is that the Indians were right there in all 4 games, and feasibly could’ve swept them. I’ll take that against a good team, especially after the crummy week last week.

“There is a lot of baseball to be played. I guess it’s nice to be a Cleveland sports fan and to still not have resigned to the “there’s always next year” mentality at this point in the season.”

Amen.

What I am excited about the upcoming series with the Tigers is how our rotation is going to set up for that series. The Tigers are going to get to see Masterson and Jiminez while we miss Verlander. And I have to believe with the Carrasco suspension and the off day, Carmona could be the game three starter for that series, and I like the way Carmona has been pitching of late.

This was a very important series for the Tribe. Although they split it, the Red Sox batted in bottom of the nineth in each game. The Indians have 12 games with Detroit out of 38 remaining within the division. Plus next week, when Cleveland hosts the Tigers, we won’t get Verlander. There is a lot of baseball to be played. I guess it’s nice to be a Cleveland sports fan and to still not have resigned to the “there’s always next year” mentality at this point in the season.
