The 2013 Cleveland Indians

Kazmir with a scoreless inning. Nice to see

I'm at this game. Looked pretty good, threw a poor off speed pitch that got squared up but that was the only ball that was hit hard off of him both innings.

Rich Hill loads the bases, but someone else comes in and gets out of it...

Scoreless after 7. Quite the contrast to the first two games against the Reds.

Mark Reynolds hits a monster double off the wall into the wind. Runners at 2nd and 3rd.

2 run double for Omir Santos BUSTS this one open. 2-0 Tribe.

Carlos Bankre (sp?) singles in Omir. 3-0 Tribe.

Lindor in the game vs the brewers

Lindor in the game vs the brewers

He's been in for a bit. Wolters is at second and Bauer is on the mound as well, pretty cool to see.

Well this is a fantastic start so far.

Cubs vs Indians World Series. We are going to party like it's 1908/1948.

Went to the game in Maryvale, figured I'd share some of my thoughts:

1. It was cold and the wind was brutal. A lot of fly balls that are normally caught dropped in for hits and a normal Zeke Carerra WTP hit got blown out of the park.
2. Carrasco looked very rusty and was rushing during his 1 inning. Looked like he was a little too excited to be back out there.
3. Kazmir threw the ball very well, good velocity, good location, had 1 ball hit hard off of him in his 2 innings.
4. Carlos Santana had a tough defensive game, but he dropped an absolute bomb from the left side.
5. Bauer was very impressive. His ridiculous throw to begin each inning was worth the price of admission. As for his pitching, he was a victim of a wind aided bloop that fell in, but he dominated some of the no name guys Milwaukee threw out there. Hardest thrower of anyone I saw out there today.
6. Wolters and Lindor were a little too excited in both of their ABs. Both grounded out.
7. David Huff looked halfway decent in his 2 innings.
8. Ryan Raburn should have gone 2-2. Got robbed on a nice play his 1st AB.
9. We're going to love Aviles when he spells guys in the regular season.
10. Did I mention it was cold as shit?

I'm planning on going to another game next weekend, 1st spring training game I've ever been too and I loved the availability to yuck it up with some of the players/coaches.

Edit: I should also add that Hagadone was a little wild, but when his stuff was there he was dominant.
