Meche dominates the Tribe

He was due. 7 IP 4 H 0 ER 0BB 4 K. Today was easily Meche's best outing of the year, amazingly it was the first time this year that he pitched 7 innings. He now has back to back to quality starts though calling his last outing quality is being very generous. I think we all remember the bloodshed the last time he faced Cleveland when he gave up 8 runs in 3.1 innings in a 15-1 loss. If Meche has finally found some sort of groove this time is alot better. He did throw 110 pitches which will no doubt alarm some people especially considering that he threw 129 his last start. But it's still only the third time this year that he has gone over 100 (mainly due to ineffectiveness) so I'm not concerned.......yet.

Luke Hochevar turned in his second straight great outing yesterday and I'm sure has all but eliminated any chance of him returning to Omaha when Bale comes back, which is going to be awhile because he broke his left hand punching a door. I guess insert your own joke here because I'm speechless.
