Needs Less Francisco! Needs More LaPorta!

Via Waiting For Next Year  |  July 20, 2009
While I sit and watch Ben Francisco and his .234 batting average, four homers, and 19 RBI’s in 78 games against all pitchers not named Andy Sonnanstine, I can only look South to see what our boys in Columbus are doing that can take his place. Our good friend and WFNY stat guru Jacob Rosen [...]

While We’re Waiting… Matt LaPorta at First, an O-Line Preview, and Chris Perez’s Comfort

Via Waiting For Next Year  |  July 20, 2009
While We’re Waiting serves as the early morning gathering of WFNY-esque information for your viewing pleasure. Have something you think we should see? Send it to our tips email in the sidebar. I thought we traded for a power bat for the corner of the outfield? “Matt LaPorta will remain in Columbus for a while, [...]

Tribe Ball - It Doesn’t Get Much Worse

Via Waiting For Next Year  |  July 20, 2009
Is it just me or do the Indians seem to lose every weekend series they are involved in? It’s not a falsehood. After Cliff Lee’s gem Thursday night, it was back to reality for Red, White, and Blue. Three games, three losses, all of which were winnable games. Since the season opened, the Tribe is [...]

New WFNY Swag: Regressive Field

Via Waiting For Next Year  |  July 20, 2009
We’ve already poked fun at the bullpen, but it is apparent that the entire Cleveland Indians franchise needs to be given “The Business.”  With that said, behold our latest design to hit the e-shelves at our WFNY Swag Shop: Regressive Field. It was only two years ago that the (now apparently overachieving) Tribe was a game [...]

Mariners trying to get Branyan going again

Via Seattle Times  |  July 18, 2009
As you can see, it's a beautiful day at Jacobs, er, Progressive Field. No sign of the rain that poured down yesterday afternoon. This has always been one of my favorite ballparks, although the atmosphere was a lot better when the Indians were selling out the place day after day, year after year. Much of the pre-game talk today with manager Don Wakamatsu focused on Russell Branyan...

Mariners Even Series Despite Grady’s Bat

Via Waiting For Next Year  |  July 18, 2009
Mariners 6, Indians 2: Box Score In a return to what has been seen many times thus far this season, the Indians lost last night by the final score of 6-2 to the Seattle Mariners at Progressive Field. The Friday night game witnessed another phemomenal pitching effort by Felix Hernandez of Seattle, while Grady Sizemore paced [...]

Here's the Plan: Trying To Fix the Cleveland Indians, Part I

Via Bleacher Report  |  July 20, 2009
I thought as you grow up, your bedroom was supposed to get a lot cleaner. At least that was the case for me. We've all had messy rooms growing up, that's no doubt. Your mother would always come in and yell at you to clean your room because it looked like a pig inhabited it. Maybe it's the slight OCD in me, but probably since I reached the seventh grade, my room was always...

Redleg Trade Review: Ken Raffensberger and Gus Bell

Via Redleg Nation  |  July 20, 2009
After winning the World Championship in 1940, the Reds remained competitive under manager Bill McKechnie through 1944. McKechnie stressed infield defense, and defense has been proven to be pretty much a young man’s game as quickness is one of the first of the major skills to fade. In 1940, the Reds’ positional age averaged 28.8 and their pitchers’ average age...
