I wanted to first start off by apologizing for not posting lately. I have had computer problems that wouldn't let me get online. But the problem has been solved so the problem is in the past. The Tribe got a thrilling final inning win over the Tampa Bay Devil Rays tonight at Jacobs Field. Here are my thoughts on the win:
- Jake Westbrook had another solid start tonight. He got more strikeouts than he usually does but kept the ball club in the game tonight. Also, the run he gave up tonight had he not walked a batter he probably would of pitched a scoreless game tonight.
- I'm not going to rip our offense for looking inept out there tonight. I thought Jackson for the Rays had electric stuff tonight. But you have to wonder why after he struck out the side in the 6th why the Rays manager took him out of the game.
- Nice to see Ben Francisco get two hits tonight and the big game winning homer. Francisco seems to be another gem that the Tribe has uncovered from their deep minor league system. The only thing with him is that I had hoped he would of seen a start of two before that since he has been up for a week now.
- Another good job by the bullpen tonight pitching two scoreless innings. Also, Borowski finally pitched well in a non save situation, and he has his ERA to a season low 5.70.
- The win coupled with a 11-1 Tigers loss gives the Tribe the division lead again. I think its key for the Tribe to take advantage of playing a Triple A team this weekend while the Tigers are playing a hot Minnesota team.
The Indians will be back at home tomorrow night against Tampa Bay at 7:05 as CC Sabathia faces JP Howell.
