Cleveland Baseball & Brews

One month into the season and we talk about our Tribe feelings on how we thought they played so far. The team comparison to expectations and compared April 2015 vs April 2016. Talking about how well the minor league teams have played and what that could mean for the future of the Indians. Also, we highlight Dina's Pizza and Pub as our bar of the week and Revolution Brewery's Fist City, Chicago Pale Ale as our beer of the week!

The Sunday afternoon hangover show! We are drinking hangover beers Caitlin had in her fridge from previous episodes! In this episode we discuss Carlos Santana hitting leadoff in the lineup, what happens when Michael Brantley comes back this week, Jake Arrieta of the Cubs threw a no hitter against the Reds, Breaking news with Carlos Carrasco during the game, and Caitlin has her minor league update. All that and more! Enjoy!

Episode 6 is here! We are joined by our 1st guest ever, Joe Coblitz of Burningriverbaseball.com to discuss a variety of topics including is Corey Kluber aka Klubot, malfunctioning? Shaw's early season struggles and why you should not worry about them. What happens when Chisenhall and Brantley come back? The minor league update and our bar and beer of the week! And a sickly co-host Caitlin, who has issues talking this week.

Obviously, we talked about Trevor, Story and Bauer...and the first week of the MLB seaosn! It's been cold, snowy and depressing, but with the offense actually doing it's job in the games that have been play, it's not so bad. In my happiness we also went into a short minor league update about the Indians farm system, and Brantley/Lonnie rehabs. Also, checked out two amazing places in Tremont, Fatcats and Lilly Handmade Chocolates that everyone should get to ASAP. With one week, and a few beers, under our belts, we are ready to see what the rest of the season has in store for us!

IT'S SUNDAY! SUNDAY! SUNDAY!...The Sunday before the Indians home Opener! For most of the show we went through our predictions on things like MVP, RBI, and ERA, just to name a few, and ended with some helpful tips for your opening day trip. Of course, we saved the best for last...sounding off with the best of the best, Hammy calls to get you through your FINAL night without baseball!!

On tonight's show we got a little on the deep side, diving into the whole Keep The Chief or don't topic. A very tired argument, but it wouldn't be the final week of spring if someone didn't bring it up! Also, of course we got into the Opening Day roster addition of CF Tyler Naquin! And that since our last show, actually since he found out he made it, he'd hit three home runs and made one scary but impressive catch into the CF wall. On the opposite of that excitement, Michael Brantley possibly not making it on the Opening Day roster. Surprised? Not entirely. Brad decided it was a good idea to ask me baseball questions I didn't know the answer too, and we talked up the awesome bar Wilbert's just outside the ballpark. Tons of fun tonight, and some great peanut-buttery-chocolaty Sweet Baby Jesus Duclaw beer (; Next time you hear us it'll be one day until the season starts!! Cya then!

Tonight on CLE Baseball and Brews, we, very excitedly, talked about Indians left fielder Michael Brantley's return to the game AND HIT A TWO RUN HOMER. Of course, the argument of will he play on Opening Day came up (He probably will...). Also, we drove into the Marlon Byrd signing, the fire under Gio Urshela's ass being lit for third base, and what on earth is going on in the White Sox club house. Other things include OF COURSE great beer, drinking Platform porters and Portside 216 pale ales while drooling over the conversation of why everyone needs to check out a Winking Lizard as soon as possible. There was a ton more, so listen up and enjoy!

The inaugural episode of Cleveland Baseball and Brews! We are talking about spring training so far for the Indians, who has impressed the most. Why we love baseball, what got us into baseball and of course BEER! plus so much more!
