This is my blog, so I am going to say it. Why did Eric Wedge take Cliff Lee out of the game?? I know that every single person has their own spin. And the sports writers and baseball people will have the normal generic pad answers they always pontificate. I also know that during the Manager's press conference, there are certain questions the media is not allowed to ask Wedge. There are certain topics the media can not second guess the manager or his staff about.....or even bring up. Just listen to some of the Manager's press conferences after each game. There is dead silence at times with absolutely no one asking the hard questions that should be asked. It's very awkward to listen to and embarrassing at times.
Bottom line, even if Minnesota scores a run or two, the Indians might come back?
It's not like we are in first place (even though I STILL believe if we win and Chicago has a total melt down, we can come back). But, it's not like we are in first place battling to stay atop the division...
There were still 4 innings to go. Keep Cliff in. Let him win or lose this game. If the Indians come back, as they did, he wins. If he loses, he loses the game and not some weak bullpen job.
I am a true Indians fan and go to every single game that I am not working. I think of myself as well versed in baseball and the talent on this Cleveland Indians' team. Sometimes you have to throw about the rule book. Sometimes you have to throw away the strategy and just play hard with a lot of heart!
I am not impressed with a lot of the decisions Eric Wedge has made this year. The guys must play well. If the ball goes through Peralta's legs, it's not Wedge's fault. But so many of the plays and strategies put into play are directives from Wedge, and frankly, this year, he's not cutting it!
Come to think of it, I have not been impressed with any of our Major League Teams' coaches --sorry Romeo and Mike....
We have the talent (on most fronts)! Maybe our owners need to open the pocket books, and hire high class, big name coaches and managers to take us to the BIG SHOW!
