Box Score: Indians 6, Rangers 3

May 4, 2012 by 11 Comments

A nice game all around. Jeanmar Gomez continues to look more like a number two pitcher than our actual number two with seven solid and efficient innings; Choo with his first HR of the year; C-Pez with a save and Johnny Damon with an extra base hit. It all adds up a win against the best team in baseball, along with a game-and-a-half lead over the Tigers and the best run differential (admittedly, a sorta weak +2) in the division.

You start to get the feeling about this team: “If they stay healthy…”

It’s a good feeling to have.

    hanny have a good game tonite jon?  couldnt tell from the writeup..  ;)

  • WFNYJon

    One of the days, Kanicki.  TO THE MOON!!!

    In seriousness: you make it sound as though I WANT Jack to fail.  Nothing could be further from the truth.  As I’ve written often about Josh Tomlin in the past: I hope he’s a freak.  I hope he defies everything that anyone has ever concluded about the game of baseball.  In short, I hope that Jack Hannahan is a legit force.

    But you have to understand that everything I know about baseball suggests otherwise.  I’m not rooting for him to come back to earth.  I just expect it.

  • akzipper

    It’s time for Cleveland to start showing up for these games! This is the best they will be playing all year, and I understand like last year the team will bounce back to earth. But still, the time is now to support them. It’s just embarrassing that we’re dead last in the league in attendance!

  • mgbode

    Whoever decided to not turn the calendar in the clubhouse is a genius.  He sees Miss April on the way out to the field and thinks it’s still his favorite month :)

  • mgbode

    well it’s not like the team is undefeated coming off a series win of the rival White Sox and just beat possibly the best team in MLB.  or….

  • akzipper

    People are too busy worrying about out our 4-win football team, that’s not even going to play a game until september and probably finish dead last in the league. But no…don’t support a team that is actually winning. Funny thing is the Indians already have the same number of wins that the Browns had in the past 3 years combined…I love the Browns as much as anyone but get a clue Cleveland!!!!

    we’ll, get to tomlin.  ;-)  it was june of last year i pointed out tomlin was WHIP-ing at a walter johnson /pedro pace.  ive had to cool it.

    in an era of global brand athletes where the after party is the thing and the game seems incidental; where the goal is lifestyle in glamourous cities and ‘championship pursuit’ is used as it’s specious cover.. hanny and tomlin leap off the page to me.

    do *you* want him to fail, im sure no.  but you have to admit there were plenty who folks last year critical of playing 31-yr-old hanny when ‘chisenhall is the future.’  methinks those people are lurking and looking for a slump/opening to renew this call.

    me?  i think he’s earned -EARNED- a secure starting position.  31 year old great glove 3rd baseman batting .250?  hell, that’s hall of fame material.

  • CJG

    I was at the game last night sitting next to the bullpen. It was the best game I’ve been to in a while. I say people need to start going to games, they are worth the money.

  • Steve

    In his prime, Robinson hit more like .275, and that was in a lower run-scoring environment. And to just call him a great glove is ludicrous. Best defensive 3B of all-time.

  • JNeids

    “Jeanmar Gomez continues to looks more like a number two pitcher than our actual number two”…while our actual number two pitcher continues to look like actual number two.

  • https://twitter.com/jimkanicki jimkanicki

    he was a great glove.  but i do believe his legacy is skewed due to longevity and the fact the he flashed the glove notably in world series’.  his best defensive plays were seen by all and were especially crushing if you were a reds fan at the time.  (i was.)

    i saw him.  while he gets the benefit of the doubt for his ‘meh’ stick from playing in the pitcher era, he also benefits from not playing in the internet era where his HOF status would be subject to more scrutiny.

    regardless, i stand by the comparison.  what hanny hasnt done is play every day since he was 20.  but at age 32 (ie, today), hanny=brobinson.
