2018 Cleveland Indians Positional Previews: First Base Feb 06, 2018

Show notes

Jim Pete and Mike Hattery continue the 2018 Cleveland Indians positional previews by heading on over to first base.

For the first time this decade, the Cleveland Indians will be without Carlos Santana in the lineup. Last season, after several years hopping around the diamond, Santana really found his groove as a gold glove worthy first baseman. Unfortunately, Santana found a new home in Philadelphia, to the tune of three years and $60 million.

The Indians answered losing Santana by signing free agent Yonder Alonso, who is coming off a career year in which he came off of an American League All-Star performance, thanks to becoming a big believer in the fly ball revolution.

The WFNY boys will discuss the impact of the loss of Santana, ponder Alonso as a full-time first baseman, and take a look at the potential platoon options, should Alonso dip in production. Could we see Yandy Diaz, Michael Brantley, Francisco Mejia or Jason Kipnis at first base?

2018 Cleveland Indians Positional Previews: Catcher Feb 04, 2018

Show notes

In 2017, the big questions surrounding the catcher position was whether or not Roberto Perez could officially take over from Yan Gomes, who had struggled with injuries and offense over the previous two seasons. But Gomes managed to catch in 105 games, holding off Perez for another season. So, in 2018, the questions really haven't changed from last year.

Can Gomes keep the job he recaptured in 2017? Will Roberto Perez finally take over, thanks to his defensive supremacy? Can the 50-50 tilt, teeter in one direction or another, or will both catchers split the duties again? Oh, and what about Francisco Mejia and Eric Haase, who both will likely find themselves either in Columbus, or Cleveland?

EHC is back with Jim Pete and Mike Hattery discussing the Cleveland Indians positional previews!

Don't get mad about the Browns parade with @OKPants Jan 05, 2018

Show notes

I decided to check back in with everyone's favorite Cleveland Browns rebranding advocate, @OKPants. The last time he and I talked about rebranding the Browns, the team hadn't fired Sashi Brown yet, let alone finished out the (im)perfect season. So, we checked back in on all things Browns including the parade.
