I couldn't you know I told our guys in time out. We only have done the same thing they're going to track. Even on the play before just guys -- gonna -- and never. Foul right where they're gonna trap and then file. I thought they did do a little bit of both. In a -- -- -- to call time out before the file was called as well if you watched the replay Randall was right in front -- -- and and it timeout signal and in the files call. So. But we don't expect that and then. Not from the rest and among ourselves. You know we talked about that you knew they're gonna trap. And yet it's just an average and that's tied up now on the probe is an incident and it never solved. Yeah actual -- yeah I thought it was more swing and so you guys probably saw the replay I haven't. A chance to question. Well listen a lot of partly -- You are additives and went the way we play so you know you can take what you wanna -- that. I didn't think we play poker world and it would -- mark. But we hung in there which the good side. You know down the stretch gotta when that day before you have to win those games and we made a lot of the little mistakes. And that one day but it did make some rumblings. Yeah yeah. Or just stayed in the -- you put your team. Like Chicago you know the rebounding is going to be on the line. They're great golf. -- rebounding team and we held them down that's really what you present because they didn't have a great office rebound. -- -- -- We played good benefits we -- play great. The numbers look good because that the priest was so slow you know. Oh Chicago to what I like in the first I think -- scored three of our analysts note we pursue our. Threes with us in two seconds and and when you play Chicago and note that you missed one -- -- to the pin. -- Seven -- there. That's a rare -- the least score one point for turner of and on a good night to be nice to have more. Run it was dirt and then authorities are slow but I thought his energy you know the great example I thought -- -- -- You know server in the game and then thought I have to go to this for us. And I started to that -- it's been. No you don't see it depends on again tonight. -- tonight -- shortly. You concede governor early -- missed shots but where are. Paul and he saw and he went and got points I think tonight was exactly what should go. Well you know Boozer -- you know a ton of rebounds and -- And help Brendan have agreed rebound and I put yourself and a fifteen so. -- -- -- rebel arms of one rebounder and more options so I don't think about it with stories. At all. Yeah yeah managed -- a couple of shots but. Just got to that point that's gonna happen and dance and music begins where to place went five minutes ago so hopefully -- -- -- though. Well I think that recognizes that -- Know a really good argument that ended the day there that's not gonna change percent change this -- -- -- -- 300. And that's not going to change in this gonna -- -- all over -- in the playoffs. You know -- just hardly works that you have to make believe for about a year. Reported -- Well we have been you know until tonight like we've been winning close games and we felt we had this game one and ended about two give them credit -- -- Two really tough shots -- in the borrowed about Rondo did a great job. On the jump. And on the second part of the jump ball region from behind inflicted it's a loose ball. The problem is. And we broke to greet screw -- when Greece to everybody runs to the ball you know -- -- as -- -- -- -- that. When you watch that our entire defense and the ball. Instead of standing up which are what -- I think and he makes shot but it was a great bounce. That last play Belinelli. That was another loose ball ball against whom -- he makes shots so. You know the ball bounced their way and they had to make this it took him a lot of great. Well it's always a learning -- a couple things that we discovered that about you know the back cuts you know. We know -- had to explicitly. On the personal. In the -- one you know so well. You know those employees that. You know you can tell them over and over and watched him justice to our. -- -- -- -- A couple -- Butler and that was Rondo locked in the played it it's. One thing I love about Chicago is they just give the ball. Didn't hear that Butler and I think that's -- My life. No I like him off the bench now I think he's doing a terrific job. You know he's planned I mean ministers like you know -- again and -- -- -- since -- been the starting thing is. Who carriers now if if I started and played ten minutes or chemical that's in Detroit 38. Which when you think you take. Yeah absolutely. Yeah and it was better force would come off the bench because usually Germans off the floor and now you have solely on the floor it's another -- -- -- you started -- problem. The newcomer off which really garbage are good but -- not all -- Brendon and JC. Or Chris Wilcox is just not the rotation. Yeah yeah and I thought it can give something we didn't -- You know all that little bit that it gives score punch and a group. And you know.

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.
