Series Preview: Indians at Twins 7/19-21

Found July 18, 2013 on Burning River Baseball:
PLAYERS: Jason Kipnis,  Scott Kazmir,  Mike Pelfrey,  Trevor Bauer,  Danny Salazar,  Corey Kluber,  Justin Masterson,  Scott Diamond,  Mark Reynolds
TEAMS: Cleveland Indians,  Minnesota Twins
Bring on the second half! The Indians should be well rested coming off their four day vacation (except for Jason Kipnis who only had three days off). The Indians will start the second half just 1.5 games behind Detroit and in a good position to make a move, playing their next two series and four of their next five series against teams below .500. Minnesota is on the slate first and the Indians have fared well against the Twins so far this year, with wins in each of their first two series. The Indians also come into this series with a four game winning streak and Jason Kipnis riding high off his spectacular All-Star Game appearance. Game 1: Friday, July 19th 8:10 PM EDT Scott Kazmir, LHP, 5-4, 4.60 ERA vs Mike Pelfrey, RHP, 4-7, 5.55 ERA  Kazmir earned the first start of the second half with five straight decent games, including a dominating start against Kansas City last time out. Kazmir has vastly improved this season, but is still the Indians most unpredictably starter, ...

Indians Jason Kipnis shines in the national spot-light as he drove in the last run for the A.L. in the All-Star game.

Via Cleveland Sports 360  |  July 17, 2013
Indians second baseman, Jason Kipnis made an appearance in the All-Star game and he took advantage of his opportunity to shine in the national spot-light. Kipnis drove in the last run the American League scored by hitting a double in the 8th inning. Because the American League won the game, they will have the home field advantage in the world series. Lets hope Kipnis and the Cleveland...

WFNY Stats & Info: How bad has Mark Reynolds been?

Via Waiting For Next Year  |  July 18, 2013
The Indians have been a pleasant first-half surprise at 51-44. They’re on pace for 87 wins. Despite their streakiness, they’ve remained fairly close to the playoff picture through mid-July, which is far better than the collapses of the last two seasons. But one player in particular has seen his production fall off the Earth just like Manny Acta’s Cleveland teams: first baseman...

Orbiting Cleveland: Can ZMac extend the rotation and bullpen?

Via Indians Baseball Insider  |  July 19, 2013
Today, I’m hijacking “Orbiting Cleveland” for my good friend Steve Orbanek, who is still celebrating his marriage while gallivanting across the globe on his honeymoon. In his honor, I decided to talk about a starter near and dear to his heart, and no, I’m not talking about Fausto Carmona/Roberto Hernandez, and no, I’m not talking specifically about the enigma known as...

Via Burning River Baseball  |  July 18, 2013
After a first season full of up and downs, the Indians have ended the first half of 2013 comfortably in second place in the American League Central behind the Detroit Tigers. The Indians have been a confusing team through the first half, showing greatness in every facet of the game at some point, but failing in all those same ways at other times.
