I'm very do you get ready to board a plane here in just a a few minutes past it is a question before we get and a football. Do you mind flying because this is a long trip does that bother you at all. Are about I don't know in the world. I was just say -- some guys on the team and it get a little bit shaky when he gives a little rough from -- -- Yeah I shouldn't you -- -- one right actually shaking. When the circumstances you know I don't think anyone who likes this -- as you know take it and built in the left in the you know they're they're kind of stared down through. I've been around proteins were. Guys have actually you can minera just couldn't nice and couldn't get to the back there's a kid that the Houston Rockets strapped to think about this. On he played university of Minnesota I believe Royce White. And he won't sign with the Houston Rockets right now because they haven't agreed. You travel him by car or bus and remember another -- -- the MBA players like every other night right for so. He wants to travel by bus or car 'cause he's got this exciting we can. Go in an airport. Yeah yeah yeah -- -- Yeah. -- -- And right a very. Yet Dylan like a mad cruisers have a right imagine imagine. Know you you know linebackers -- a Winnebago does drives -- You know -- You're he'd take a trip like this and against you guys are gonna have your. -- walk through tomorrow. In Seattle as -- throw up your routine at all to have the a flight like this is Seattle and am trying to say the other side of the world but it still pretty long trip. As your preparation change your plan a team like this and yeah. That the preparation and -- there are tumultuous. You know got to be on the order before but now would it which -- absolutely try to make it as normal as possible. Back in those days talk about -- and special where we let thirteen points. You're very familiar with the Marshawn Lynch he was in this division. Before being traded but what you see on film from the quarterback Russell Wilson. I mean you don't a lot of -- things -- the -- the mobile that it sends some you know black people talk about it are met all of its laurels. He can make all the throws -- out of the party consultants all the parties as a player these young guys not -- I'm. Not their Richard in certain leadership of those losses on. I would think in every week you guys look to stop one thing and force the team to do something else I got to believe getting back Marshawn Lynch and that's words stopped -- thing. How difficult is it to tackle him and second of all. The C -- a lot more to backs up with that with Robinson -- the full back to lead the way for him than you normally say. I know what you know -- actually it's a question he has those calls Bob Barr. He's what a linebacker or run a bank -- are delivered -- delivered -- blow. He's very tough to take down that's like you know eleven got that caters to Britain after the ground. Nancy your second question yet they do on a lot of combat missions you know -- they'll put I didn't back -- fullback or you know what you say -- Robert. -- come back -- fullback they have a lot of versatile player that came. They're pretty good this year a lot of different. That would be heard about the atmosphere and we have heard I know you're not off with a player but I've heard on and on that is really difficult. Torn offence to concentrate here I think you played there what your rookie year -- Seattle. Who were not there to detonate it's a loud stadium allows you. I'll like to stand. Very. You know local you know -- the -- Sounds a lot more involved each other it's loud and and and the great. Now hopefully we can. You know our combat that -- and again. Yeah I think that's probably a big part of the game you know -- -- it seems to give their defense it was talked a lot about their defense this week. But it seems to give them an edge if you applying an outside especially if you playing up front and you got a lot of sound. Because the visitors offenses on the field. Gigolo -- -- can take a few liberties. I realize that there are you know they're at and -- you know we we always practice round bubbles on all of them. The vehicle communicate -- house and wearers it's not something that will happen at twelve special ballplayer should do. So no matter -- is you know super loud and I don't know it's always something where you know we're able to. I would build pipe in this week so that people couldn't hear. I didn't use our animals a lot of -- -- a lot of things of congress it would not music is not certain home communicate -- the last thing. Now I -- paid attention enough so I know. If you guys are are gonna talk about two weeks from Brandon Spikes but what I asked you haven't been to a spikes is it that this is argue. As that when you became. Where.

Cleveland Indians hottest team in baseball, yet remain last in attendance May 19, 2013 By AJ Kaufman 6 Comments There’s a scene in Major League where Bob Uecker, portraying the radio voice of the Indians, bemoans, “In case you haven’t noticed, and judging by the attendance you haven’t, the Indians have managed to win a few here and there, and are threatening to climb out of the cellar.” Well, that was nearly 25 years ago and fictional, but today’s reality is that Cleveland has won 17 of its last 21, and currently tops the AL Central with a mark of 25-17. No one in the majors is better than the Indians in the past month (20-7). That’s great news. The bad news, however, is the Tribe somehow remain in the MLB cellar when it comes to attendance. How can this be? The fact that I wrote on this same topic almost to the day last year – when only Tampa Bay drew fewer fans than Cleveland - may be even more troubling. Though roughly 34,000 watched a walk-off win Friday night against Seattle, perfect weather and free caps weren’t enough to draw more than 36,000 Saturday and Sunday combined. What did the Indians do in those tilts? They nabbed another walk-off win on Saturday, then the Indians crushed the great Felix Hernandez Sunday behind Justin Masterson, arguably the AL’s best pitcher right now. Fun fact: The Indians have already faced eight Cy Young Award winners in 2013: Bartolo Colon, R.A. Dickey, Roy Halladay, Cliff Lee, Jake Peavy, David Price, Justin Verlander and Hernandez. They have won seven out those eight matchups. Simply astounding. This offseason, the much-maligned Indians front office finally made a legitimate attempt to improve the team through free agency. I’m not talking an Ubaldo Jimenez-like trade, but rather smart acquisitions that brought veterans Mike Aviles, Michael Bourn, Jason Giambi, Scott Kazmir, Brett Myers, Mark Reynolds, Drew Stubbs and Nick Swisher to Cleveland. In addition to being a fantastic place to watch a game due to great egress and ingress, with extremely affordable tickets, the best promo lineup anywhere, Jacobs Field boasts overall, cooler, less muggy summer weather than most Midwestern locales. The team also lowered beer and hot dog prices to $4 and $3 respectively. What other professional stadium in any sport offers that? I have visited 28 of the 30 current Major League Baseball stadia, and few top The Jake when all angles are considered. I say that as a baseball fan, not an Indians fan. As for the putative “economic” angle, these are the same people who spend insane amounts of money to watch terrible football every fall and show up in decent numbers for putrid basketball in the winter. Irrespective of season length, those sports charge up to 10 times the price for a ticket, and the atmosphere isn’t half as fan-friendly as baseball. I understand fans’ lack of willingness to get on board to some degree. A decent recap of Cleveland’s decade of “rebuilding” can be read here and the team suffered a horrific collapse last August. However, in addition to all the benefits of attending games at Jacobs (now Progressive) Field, fans should also realize the team has potential and often exceeds preseason aspirations at any point without warning. Cleveland hosts the rival Detroit Tigers — heavy favorites to repeat as AL Central champs — Tuesday and Wednesday nights before hitting the road. The temperature should be pleasant at first pitch each evening so you’d expect The Jake to be full to watch the best hitter on the planet right now — but don’t count on it.
