I got to meet Bob Feller on the practice fields in Tucson. You could walk on the warning track and say hi to Andre Thornton. And I did meet out of town Cleveland fans and honestly, they were very nice people. And it was sweet to see young rookie Indian players having picnics under a palm tree with their parents. I have a lot of happy memories of spring training and the Indians. Sat next to Joe Garagiola at a game. The girls who hung out trying to meet the players were unbelievable.

I lived in Tucson, where the Tribe had spring training and went to seven or eight games a year for 13 years. There were absolutely no Indian fans in the city half a million people, not one. At least I never met one. I get the feeling that people in Lakeland actually like the Tigers. Cleveland sucked all of those 13 years.

Win

3-outs and still tied. Minn chokes.

Correa weakly fouls out

Bases loaded with twins, w/ 1 out

HBP two on for Minn. sac bunt and runners advance.

Ramirez is up in the bottom of the 9th and we go to extras because these guys are not good at pulling rabbits out of hats like our guys are.

It’s so cute to hear other announcers for other American League teams talk about their own “Cy Young” candidates. Ha!

In 13 games against the guardians this year the Twins have only scored 37 runs.

I feel diminished having to root for Cleveland to win this game, especially after how they’ve mistreated us over the years. I guess this is repayment for the sin of our team being crappy early in the year.

Cleveland chokes again.

I’m listening to the radio guy for Cleveland. He works on his own no one else with him and all you hear about are home runs and RBIs. It’s as if all the new stats don’t exist, but this might be a small sample size on my part. We are so lucky to have Dan.

Sounded like a homer for Ramirez but foul

Baltimore is 2-8 in their last ten. Hope it stays that way.

Tied. Nice.

I understand people not liking it and it is of course just a commercial gimmick. To me, it looks like something a police force would wear in a future RoboCop era.

I like our city connect uniforms, but I’m not wild about the solid color tops both teams are wearing today. It’s not bad. I just don’t particularly like it. I just like white or gray for home and away. It’s not a “dealbreaker” or anything. I suppose it’s intention is just to have more merchandise to sell.

We just can’t expect boys to do a man’s job…

Minnesota scores two

Top of the fifth still 1-0 Cleveland leading Minnesota.

Sadly, the inning ends without an extra Guardian run, and this is probably the only time in my life I will ever say this.

Looks like it was an acceptable “neighborhood play” at Second.

It looks like they have a really decent daytime crowd there.

I thought about it too, but this will probably be OK.
