Nothing too crazy…our navy tops with the red undershirts is the best looking uniform combo in Cleveland though, and they’re a whole lot better than our old ones (specifically the hats):

Here’s a link to the full interview on TribeVibe.

The full thing is just under 24 minutes long and is definitely worth the listen. If your baseball itch hadn’t fully returned with pitchers and catchers reporting to Spring Training earlier this week, get ready for some irritated skin after hearing Hammy’s sweet sweet vocals for the first time in 2016. He talks about his roots as an announcer, the profession in general, the Indians teams of the 90’s and a little about this upcoming season. The best parts are his comments on Terry Francona though. He says Tito is “55 going on 12 years old,” citing his playful relationship with former Red Sox announcer Don Orsillo, which we’re already very much aware of. He also kinda rips Boston pretty good for letting him go in the first place. But don’t take my word for it, take a listen for yourself.

PS Idk what the hell this is but here’s a video that was posted a couple weeks ago of Hammy driving around with Rizzo and talking about stuff

Freakin Indians man. Keep making financially responsible, smart baseball moves. I’m FED UP!

If Tomlin can come close to repeating last season, where he went 7-2 with an ERA just barely above 3, this will end up being a great deal for the club. He and Cody Anderson will battle for the 5th spot in the rotation this spring, and while some might think this deal gives Tomlin the edge, I’m not so sure. The team values starting pitching depth so much that I think they’d be perfectly comfortable paying $2.25 million to a long reliever in 2016 if Anderson did indeed win the job. And if Josh does get the nod, we have last September’s AL Pitcher of the Month waiting for another opportunity in AAA. Depth is fun.
