The Cleveland Indians won their second straight game tonight with a heart stopping win in Arlington, Texas over the Texas Rangers. Here are my thoughts on the game:
- Fausto Carmona was dominating tonight. He really looked like the Carmona of May and June. I really think that when he pitches against a team for the first time he holds a huge advantage over them. Also good to see Fausto pitch well at night after he had much success in day games.
- The 9th inning definitely got very nerve racking. I definitely was fearing the worst and hoping for the best. I can understand the Garko error because he is not a great fielder and Blake his bound for an error every now and again. But I find it unacceptable for a guy like Rouse booting a ball since he really is only up in the big leagues cause he is supposed to be a good fielder.
- I was expecting fireworks to be shot in the air tonight when Mike Rouse got a hit.
- It was impressive tonight to see Borowski keep his composure out their as Tribe fielders were booting balls left and right. I also think it was the right call to bring him into the game in the 9th inning. Carmona had 103 pitches through 8 innings and with the warm temperatures in Texas he probably was more fatigued than normal.
- I don't know how many of you get the Tribe games through MLB Extra Innings or the MLBTV package but the Rangers announcers were not only god awful but just unbearable to listen to.
- The Tribe got back to within a game of Detroit with the win tonight and the Tigers losing to Kansas City. Every time you think one of these two teams is going to get some breathing room in the division it gets that much tighter.
- Also a note on Kansas City, if the Royals get anywhere close to the .500 mark give the damn manager of the year to Buddy Bell.
The Tribe gets back at it tomorrow at 8:35 as Cliff Lee faces Jamey Wright.
