Jason Kipnis puts an exclamation point on the return of Vinnie Pestano last night for the Cleveland Indians.
Good things happened for the Cleveland Indians last night. Ubaldo Jimenez continued to show he is making a comeback to the level of pitching that made the Tribe trade from the big man. He pitched his 3rd game in a row commanding the pitches he threw. Jimenez struck out 9 batters in the 5 innings he pitched.. He only allowed 2 earned runs and one of them was a home run. Each time...
Trend Spotting: The value of Drew Stubbs and a dilemma at third
As an Indians fan watching the team get off to a tremendous start, I find myself spending the majority of my time trying to pick holes in the roster that could eventually be our downfall or equalizing force. Attempting to find players who are so far outplaying their capability that regression both as a player and as a team is inevitable. This is not to say I am not thoroughly enjoying...

I speculated about him this morning in the weekend recap, but the Indians have decided not to wait any longer to see if the struggling Lonnie Chisenhall would come around.
With the need for a long reliever during this doubleheader day, the Tribe’s third baseman of the present and the future was sent down to AAA Columbus this morning. Left-hander David Huff was promoted and added...
