September 28, 2012 by 3 Comments

Sandy Alomar Jr. is off on the right foot. The interim manager won game one at the helm of the Tribe behind a solid pitching performance from David Huff, 16 hits from the offense, and Chris Perez’s 39th save as the Indians took game one of the series with KC 8-5 at Progressive Field. Cord Phelps, Lonnie Chisenhall, and Ezequiel Carrera  each had three hits in the game, while Jason Kipnis drove in three runs. The Indians have now won three in a row for the first time since early July and their record stands at 66-91. Tomorrow night, it’s Jeanmar Gomez for Cleveland against Jake Odorizzi for Kansas City.

    It seems as though huff has shown signs over the years as having good stuff. What’s the story? Why can’t he get a shot on this team?

  • LaundroMat

    He was in Acta’s doghouse for Twitter misbehavior, for one. But more importantly, in addition to his signs of having good stuff, he’s shown direct evidence of his not having it.

  • Withdrewcash

    Thanks. And admittedly I agree but is it so direct that this team shouldn’t have tried? The projects should have gotten a shot in August as soon as we all knew where the season was going.
