Cleveland Indians Spring Training Thread

[The Oi]

Jigo - could you explain how he did this from the DL?

Cleveland Indians ‏ @Indians
Derek Lowe tosses 3.0 scoreless frames for the #Indians in final spring tune-up, retiring 9 of the 10 batters he faced with 3 K's

There's a common misconception on here that I said Lowe has been on the DL most of his career. I never said that. I said that he will spend most of THIS year on the DL.

Also, that he's old and sucky. Those were my other claims.

Old and sucky.

"Old and sucky". An astute analysis. Fucking brilliant.

Thanks. A lot went into that. I also said it twice to ensure that it really sinks in.

I also forgot to mention that Lowe's performance ocurred during spring training.

Spring training.

You know nothing about baseball and your trolling posts have gotten extremely lame.

Should I say it more than twice for better effect?

You'd be mighty surprised.

Nope. They've gotten more and more clever as time has gone on. You just can't see it.

This totally convinces me! I take it all back. You're a genius.

White font dude? Really? Sad.

Tested just below it actually. I'm not asking you to give me THAT much credit.

White font dude? Really? Sad.

Made me happy!

I'd like to see about a mod doing something about these personal attacks though. Way out of line.

Zeke plays good defense and can run. He is one of the weakest bats on the team since Omar first arrived (please no arguing, Omar was the worst offensive regular in baseball for the first 4-5 years of his career). Neal? Neal needs to prove he can hit AAA pitching first and find his power again.

Now, in a month? The team can reevaluate and go from there. If Neal or Carrera are hitting, and Cunningham isn't? You make a move. But until then, I see no prob with making Neal and Carrera start in AAA. It is what is best for them.

I agree with you on those guys, just not sure that Cunningham is any better. I don't know much about him, but nothing about him seems worth trading for and Opening a roster spot to keep.

I am expecting the Indians to make a move for an OF within the next 2-3 weeks, pushing Duncan to 4th outfielder.

God you guys make this forum unreadable.

God you guys make this forum unreadable.

Just ignore them and focus on the baseball-related posts. Guys like Gunther, b00bie, sgm and ESPECIALLY Nom are just in it for the attention.

Tough start to the season today. Not much off-season action or positive regular season results for this club, but you just gotta keep grindin. Someday...
