Let's Go Tribe: For Cleveland Indians Fans

I have some exciting news I want to share with you all. A new love has entered my life and her name is the World Baseball Classic. The Cleveland Indians may be technically playing in spring training right now, but all Matt Schlichting, Merritt Rohlfing and I want to talk about is the wonderfulness that is the WBC and all its bat-flipping and crazy stadium atmospheres. So we do just that. We also discuss the early parallels between Francisco Lindor and Roberto Alomar, and we really really hope Lindor does another bat flip during the regular season. Matt also teaches us how the Indians could make money with a catfish farm and I suggest the Indians trade for Robinson Cano. Look, things got weird okay? Questions this week include @grantgw who wants to know our concern level with Kipnis’ shoulder, @SSS_joshnelson who wants to know if Clint Frazier would still have his hair if he never left Cleveland, @ntkingsley who wants us to envision a Salazar contract extension, and Matt McFee who dreams of a Trevor Bauer

On this week’s episode of Let’s Talk Tribe, we talk spring training... again. At least this time Merritt and I have someone who is actually in Goodyear, thanks to Brittanie Fowler joining the podcast. She gives us insights straight from Arizona and tells of a serendipitous close-encounter with Grady Sizemore. The new intro and outro music comes courtesy of the Cleveland-based band New Planet Trampoline and their track ‘Confidence Man.’ Check them out on Bandcamp. * * * Subscribe to Let’s Talk Tribe on iTunes ? http://apple.co/2fYLhSF Subscribe to Let's Go Tribe on YouTube ? http://bit.ly/2h3anEF Subscribe to Let's Go Tribe on Twitch ? http://bit.ly/2hzWf4Z Follow Let’s Go Tribe on Facebook ? http://bit.ly/2g6bI8p Follow Let’s Go Tribe on Twitter ? http://bit.ly/2gYObYH See more at letsgotribe.com.

With Jason officially on baby watch 2017, Merritt joins me for a spring training episode of Let's Talk Tribe that also includes some injury talk, some weird predictions, and some weirder ideas. Sorry about the annoying helicopter sound that appears frequently at the beginning, it goes away and I'm not sure what caused it. Also, please ignore the fact that I messed up the episode number in the intro. But hey, everything is recorded on a shiny new mic! Merritt and I talked briefly, literally as briefly as possible, about spring training. That includes injury updates on Michael Brantley and Jason Kipnis, as well as pondering on Bradley Zimmer crushing a baseball. The meat of the episode comes courtesy of Facebook reader Matt McFee who asked us to predict the Indians' 2021 lineup and rotation. We break it down by position and my team would clearly beat Merritt's. @BlessYouBoys also wants to know if Corey Kluber will quit pitching to pursue an acting career, @MattSchlichting wants us to put weird things in cente

The Cleveland Indians are getting the All-Star game in 2019! But for something even closer to today, they signed Austin Jackson. Will he actually stay, or will he be opt out of his contract before spring training? Jason and I find quite a bit to talk about, which should get us a medal for January baseball discussions. We also talk about the merits of statues — how many is too many, and who should get the next one? Where should the Indians put Michael Martinez’s inevitable bust? All important questions.  See more at letsgotribe.com Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
