5-5-09 Morning RoundUp

May 5, 2009

Yesterday I pulled up the Indians statistics for runners in scoring position with two outs and it wasn’t pretty. The Indians have the worst batting average during those situations in the entire league at .160. They had only driven in 26 runs.
Why do I still bring this up after a 9-7, 12-inning see-saw win [...]

April 23, 2009

 
It didn’t look promising for seven innings, but, perhaps, the Indians were just biding their time.

The next batter Grady Sizemore followed with [...]

Relievers wanted: Call Tribe

April 17, 2009

The knee bone’s connected to the thigh bone, and the thigh bone’s is connected to the hip bone…
Depending on whether all the parts of work together, life will be easier or a struggle. Eric Wedge is painfully aware of this fact, which is a key component of the Indians’ 3-8 record. 
The Tribe’s relief corps is [...]

4-5-09 Morning Roundup

April 5, 2009

With just one day before the season starts, The Beacon Journal decided today would be the best day to disperse its season preview section.

4-4-09 Morning Roundup

April 4, 2009

Fausto Carmona will begin this season the way he ended last year: Suspended.
The right-hander was suspended for five games at the end of last season for beating the crap out of Gary Sheffield.
(If I remember correctly, it appeared more as if he was giving Sheffield a noogie than actually beating the crap out of him, [...]

4-3-09 Morning Roundup

April 3, 2009

Good riddance, Goodyear.
At least that’s the tone coming out of spring training. Appropriately, the Indians ended their 30-game stay by struggling mightily in a 9-8 loss to the Cubs Thursday.
This time it was Anthony Reyes turn to get roughed up. He gave up seven runs (six earned) on six hits in two innings, per [...]

April 1, 2009 Morning Roundup

April 1, 2009

Maybe the Indians should have kept a secret from Scott Lewis?
Maybe they should have never told him he will start the season in the big league rotation?
He hasn’t taken the news so well.
In his last two outings since being named a starter, Lewis has been roughed up, including yesterday’s 10 runs on 13 hits [...]

Smith, Kobayashi shine after Lewis fails

March 31, 2009

Like so many of the Indians’ spring training games, Tuesday’s 12-4 loss to the Mariners wasn’t pretty.
The good news for the Tribe: Masa Kobayashi worked a hitless inning, and Joe Smith pitched effectively, despite giving up one run and two hits in two innings. Smith didn’t issue a walk and struck out three.
As a sidearming [...]

Hafner hits first homer

March 30, 2009

Travis Hafner validated manager Eric Wedge’s confidence in him by hitting his first home run of the spring Monday against the Padres.

“I don’t think Hafner is locked [...]

March 29, 2009

Manager Eric Wedge tried Sunday to explain how he would handle the Indians’ logjam at first base and catcher among Victor Martinez, Kelly Shoppach and Ryan Garko.
In essence, Wedge will figure it out as he goes along.
There is no reasonable way to predetermine a rigid plan for using the three players. Martinez probably will [...]
