Martinez falters as Bats beat Clippers 8-3

COLUMBUS, OHIO- After last night’s rain out at Huntington Park, the Clippers took the field for a foggy, early morning affair against the Louisville Bats. Clearly, Joe Martinez and the rest of the Clippers were in a haze of their own, losing 8-3. Clippers’ starter Joe Martinez started out strong with a pretty easy first inning, but that was where the success stopped for the...

Indians announce roster decisions

Before people even had a chance to recover from their St. Patrick's Day hangovers, the Indians were hard at work once again trimming down the roster as Opening Day looms now just two weeks away.

Spring Training Game #23: Indians 4, Giants 3

West Coast night games were always a bit of a pain for me as a fan and now as a baseball writer. For natives of the Eastern Time Zone like myself, a 7:00 pm first pitch out west means we’ll be burning the midnight oil back home to follow the game action. It always helps when the Indians win, though, and even better when its done in dramatic fashion. That was the case Saturday as...

Eric Hacker > Joe Martinez > Todd Wellemeyer

Andrew Cashner throws hard. Buster Posey doesn’t care. If the Giants weren’t going to win this game (they didn’t), it’s nice that Posey went yard and Panda extended his hit streak to 20. Dropping a game to the Padres feels like ass. Stinky stinky ass. Eric Hacker earned his paycheck. Going into a spot start, not overworking the bullpen is the break even point. Hacker ate...

Miami-Dade Commissioner Joe Martinez says Ozzie Guillen would be fired if not for Marlins Park

Ozzie Guillen, as you may know, is in hot water over comments he made in a Time magazine story that were supportive of former Cuban dictator Fidel Castro. Pretty insensitive on Guillen’s part, especially after you factor in the demographics of the city where he now makes his living. Guillen should have known better, but after all, he is Ozzie Guillen. Guillen had the sense to apologize...
