<p>The [redacted] recap of a [redacted] to the [redacted] [redacted] Yankees</p> <p align="center"><i>April 9, 2013</i></p>
<p align="center"><a target="_blank" href="http://mlb.mlb.com/mlb/gameday/index.jsp?gid=2013_04_09_nyamlb_clemlb_1&mode=box"><i>Yankees 14, Indians 1</i></a></p>
<p align="center"><i>Chapter 8: [Redacted]</i></p>
<p align="center"> </p>
<p align="left"><i>Editor's Note: Unfortunately the unexpurgated version of this recap would probably get me in trouble, so this morning I removed all the naughty bits. However, your imagination will be able to supply the missing words. </i></p>
<p align="left">A winter in which just about everything went right, and now this [redacted]? The [redacted] <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.pinstripealley.com/">Yankees</a> with their [redacted] B squad lineup have come to town and [redacted] all over this pitching staff in two games, and has put everyone in a [redacted] mood, including your humble servant. So what better way to vent than in this [redacted] recap?</p>
<p align="left"><span>Carlos Carrasco</span>. Hoo boy. It looks like he's throwing a bit better (sitting 94-96 mph) than before the surgery, but his control is still [redacted]. He gave up seven [redacted] runs, in only 3.2 [redacted] innings, and probably wouldn't have lasted much longer had he not thrown at <span>Kevin Youkilis</span> after serving up a meatball to <span>Robinson Cano</span>. So the umpire [redacted] tossed him, and now [redacted], he's probably going to get suspended and [redacted] up the 25-man roster while he's serving the [redacted] 6-game suspension.</p>
<p align="left">I supposed I wouldn't care as much about Carrasco if the 5 guys in the rotation were pitching well. But this [redacted] performance is coming on the heels of <span>Ubaldo Jimenez</span> pitching like [redacted] the day before, <span>Scott Kazmir</span> is still on the [redacted] shelf, and then there's Brett [redacted] Myers.</p>
<p align="left">In a way I'm glad Terry Francona brought Brett [redacted] Myers into the ballgame to finish the [redacted]. If you're going to have two [redacted] performances, you might as well take them both in the same [redacted] game and get them over with. He did finish the game, which I'll grudgingly give him credit for, but [redacted], he was worse than Carrasco, who at least has the excuse of not pitching in a major league game since 20-[redacted]-11. Myers would give 7 more [redacted] runs and three more [redacted] home runs for five [redacted] home runs in total, including one to Lyle [redacted] Overbay and Brennan [redacted] Boesch, both of whom the [redacted] Yankees signed as free agents late in Spring Training. If the Yankees didn't sign them, these two guys would have been playing in [redacted] AAA, and Myers can't get these guys out? If he doesn't [redacted] figure things out soon, the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.letsgotribe.com/">Indians</a> will be paying 7 [redacted] million dollars to a longman who gives up home runs to AAA [redacted] retreads. [redacted].</p>
<p align="left">The hitting should not be taken off the hook. Although seeing <span>Andy Pettitte</span> dominating the Indians on one-[redacted]-half of Carrasco's stuff is a clarifying moment for me. The Indians' pitching depth chart has several pitchers with outstanding stuff, but unfortunately if you can't [redacted] throw good strikes your [redacted] good stuff gets smacked around the [redacted] yard as much as an 85-mph fastball. We knew going in that rotation was going to make or break this team, and a week in, it looks like it's going to [redacted] break it. Oh yeah, the [redacted] hitting...7 hits and 1 [redacted] run, which was an <span>Asdrubal Cabrera</span> solo homer in the sixth. Otherwise the Indians get [redacted] shut out worse than the beatdown that they gave the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.draysbay.com/">Rays</a> on Sunday? Take away Sunday's game and the Indians have a [redacted] run differential of minus [redacted] 26 after only [redacted] eight games.</p>
<p align="left">Ok, I feel slightly better. Now I'm going to have some tea and think happy thoughts.And watch some kitten videos.</p>

<p>Must..resist...rant...</p> <ul>
<li> <span>Carlos Carrasco</span> was throwing mid-upper 90s fastballs, but got tattooed by the Yankee B squad. And to make matters worse, he got tossed in the fourth inning after plunking <span>Kevin Youkilis</span>. Because of his history (he was suspended in 2011 after throwing at <span>Billy Butler</span>) and timing (the pitch after giving up a home run), he wasn't given the benefit of the doubt. There's a very good chance that he'll be suspended again. <br>
</li>
<li> <span>Brett Myers</span> was just as bad. Because today was his normal day to pitch, Myers came in for Carrasco, and while he ate some innings, he allowed 7 runs on 11 hits, including 3 home runs. <br>
</li>
<li>While it wouldn't have mattered what the offense did, it was bad, too. The <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.letsgotribe.com/">Indians</a> only managed one run (on an <span>Asdrubal Cabrera</span> home run) on 7 hits off Andy Pettitte (7 innings) and Adam Warren (2 innings)</li>
<li>I'm holdin' the rage in, folks. Don't know how much longer I can do that. Maybe I'll feel better in the morning, or not...</li>

<p><strong>Latest News</strong></p>
<p>Even though <span>Carlos Santana</span> doesn't have a broken bone in his hand, he's still going to be out a couple days, so the Indians brought up not one, but both catchers from Columbus. <span>Omir Santos</span> and <span>Yan Gomes</span> are in Cleveland for tonight's game, with Gomes getting the start. To get both Santos and Gomes onto the 25-man roster, the Indians needed to clear two spots on the 25-man roster and one spot on the 40-man roster. One of those spots on the 25-man roster was already available when <span>Trevor Bauer</span> was optioned down, and the other was created when the Indians placed <span>Lou Marson</span> on the 15-day Disabled List (effective today because he played yesterday). To add Santos to the 40-man roster, the Indians Designated <span>Robert Whitenack</span> for Assignment (who was claimed on waivers just last week). Here's the various Twitter announcements:</p>
<p> </p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"> <p>Yan Gomes recalled and Lou Marson DL'd with a cervical neck strain. Gomes is in the lineup batting 9th tonight</p>— Cleveland Indians (@Indians) <a href="https://twitter.com/Indians/status/321705095228186624">April 9, 2013</a> </blockquote>
<p><script src="//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p>

<p> </p>
<p>So here's what tonight's lineups look like:</p>
<table class="sbn-data-table" border="1"><tbody> <tr class="ui-state-even ui-state-odd"> <td align="center"><strong>Cleveland</strong></td> <td align="center"><strong>NYJ</strong></td> </tr> <tr class="ui-state-odd ui-state-even"> <td align="center">CF Drew Stubbs</td> <td align="center">CF Brett Gardner<br> </td> </tr> <tr class="ui-state-even ui-state-odd"> <td align="center">2B <span>Jason Kipnis</span> </td> <td align="center">2B <span>Robinson Cano</span><br> </td> </tr> <tr class="ui-state-odd ui-state-even"> <td align="center">SS Asdrubal Cabrera</td> <td align="center">3B <span>Kevin Youkilis</span> </td> </tr> <tr class="ui-state-even ui-state-odd"> <td align="center">1B <span>Nick Swisher</span> </td> <td align="center">DH Travis Hafner</td> </tr> <tr class="ui-state-odd ui-state-even"> <td align="center">DH Mark Reynolds<br> </td> <td align="center">LF Vernon Wells<br> </td> </tr> <tr class="ui-state-even ui-state-odd"> <td align="center">LF Michael Brantley</td> <td align="center">RF Ichiro Suzuki<br> </td> </tr> <tr class="ui-state-odd ui-state-even"> <td align="center">RF Ryan Raburn<br> </td> <td align="center">SS Eduardo Nunez<br> </td> </tr> <tr class="ui-state-even ui-state-odd"> <td align="center">3B <span>Mike Aviles</span><br> </td> <td align="center">1B <span>Lyle Overbay</span><br> </td> </tr> <tr class="ui-state-odd ui-state-even"> <td align="center">C Yan Gomes</td> <td align="center">C <span>Francisco Cervelli</span> </td> </tr> </tbody></table>
<p> </p>
<p>The Yankees lineup is practically identical to yesterday's starting nine except for the catcher, but the Tribe lineup is dramatically different; Bourn, Chisenhall, and Santana are out, Raburn, Aviles, and Gomes are in, and the order has been jumbled up as well. Stubbs hits left-handers very well, which is probably the main reason he's leading off tonight, which makes the rest of the lineup different; Francona likes to alternate right-handers and left-handers when possible.</p>
