#148---IND @ CLB, 8/12/2012





In the last entry I extolled the virtues of a spring training scoresheet that featured Mike Trout. Minor league scoresheets sometimes have the same allure. This is not one of them. AAA rosters are generally not packed with prospects, and that was true for this game between the Indians (confusingly to some, the Pirates AAA affiliate) and the Clippers (the Indians affiliate). There are certainly names you probably recognize (Brock Holt, Jose Tabata, Yamaico Navarro, Matt LaPorta, Even Meek to pick a handful), but none that really pop. The game was entertaining enough, with Indianapolis’ four run fourth augmented by a single run in the seventh enough to hold off a late charge from the homestanding Clippers.
