Thanks for Listening!

Whew! Luis Valbuena is gone! Someone out there was thinking the same thing I was because they didn't replace him with a AAA outfielder, but another infielder, Jason Kipnis. Of course, Michael Brantley was feeling all better and back in the outfield and Travis Buck also felt good enough to come in for the 9th. So we didn't need another outfielder - we just needed to get rid of Valbuena.

Aaaand...that's pretty much it for the news for this game! Ha!

Ok, Carrasco pitched well enough. It's hard to tell if a guy pitches well enough for his team if his team can't score ANY runs. We had the right lineup today. Only 5 LOB. Raffy, Smith and Hermann were tight in their innings.

Uhm...Lonnie was looking good. He got 2 hits, including a double and made a nice stop at 3rd.

Brantley is glad to be back and scratched out a single.

Kipnis didn't get a hit but he did get hit by a pitch and made a nice play at 2nd.

Nobody walked. Huh.

No errors. That's nice, eh?

Tom Hamilton wasn't in today. He must have the weekend off. It's going to be a looooong weekend if that's the case. I could barely take THIS broadcast seriously.

Look, hardly no radio chatter.

David Huff tomorrow, with his 0.00 ERA! Who's exciiiiiited?! I am! I feel like I have had 3 days without baseball. Yech.

7:05 PM, see you there!
