Bullpen better, but Perez, Lewis still shaky

August 12, 2009

CLEVELAND: It took more than half a season, but the Indians’ bullpen finally is becoming an asset.
Manager Eric Wedge credits the relievers’ recent success to the rotation, at least in part.
“We are in that position because of what the starting pitchers have done,” he said Wednesday.
Because the starters have been staying in games for six [...]

Tribe still has something to play for

August 10, 2009

The Indians have won 12 of their past 18 games and recently have taken two of three from each of the Central Division contenders: Detroit, Chicago and Minnesota.
If the Tribe were to continue to play at a .667 pace the rest of the season, it would finish with a plus .500 record of 82-80. But [...]

New reliever ready to go

August 5, 2009

CLEVELAND: Apparently, Jess Todd is quick study.
In his first two minor league seasons with the Cardinals, he was a starter almost exclusively. Then he came to the spring training this year and got the word.

CHICAGO: Eric Wedge doesn’t get it. The manager of the Indians fails to understand why so few among the 19 pitchers who have tried to find employment in the bullpen have fallen short.

The Indians acquired Winston Abreu from the Tampa Bay Rays today for a minor-league pitcher and cash.
Abreu, who will wear No. 36, will be added to the roster in the next few days. The Indians sent right-hander John Meloan to the Rays.
Abreu, 32, whom the Rays signed to a non-roster invitation to spring training on [...]

6-2-09 Morning RoundUp

June 2, 2009

Those darn Midges couldn’t slow Joba Chamberlain this time. The mass of Seagulls had no affect either. What living creature can we throw at him next?
The Yankees didn’t really beat the Indians Monday. They just circled the bases as the Tribe offered free passes 11 times. It is a miracle the Yankees scored just five [...]
