Am I seeing this right?
A four game win-streak?
A sweep, the first of the year, a four-gamer nonetheless.
What is going on around here!?
Looks like the Memorial Day Miracle has sparked this team in a huge way.
That and some good bullpen stuff.
Ya know, the good bullpen stuff.
The latest in this awesome edition in what I'd like to call, "Good Bullpen Performances." Was what occurred today after David Huff couldn't return after a lengthy rain delay.
Let's talk about David Huff real quick though.
Four innings, four hits, no runs. Keep letting him get settled in, he might be getting somewhere.
Now this bullpen. Lewis needs a break, a little too rough on him with the multiple innings thing. But still, came in got some outs, left it up for Herges. He picks up the win by striking out three in one and two thirds innings.
Raffy punches out two in his inning, and Kerry Wood makes seven pitch work of the side in the ninth inning for the save. SEVEN pitches! For just three hitters, six of them strikes. Nothing better than that.
Vic knocked in both runs today, pretty good work. But really you look at the pen in this one, pitching five of the nine innings, a night after Zach Jackson was roughed up pretty much.
Speaking of last night since I couldn't talk about it.
Four innings for Zajack, who put the Tribe in a bad position with the runs he gave up.
Greg Aquino and Luis Vizcaino.. I mean wow what the heckle.
Five innings last night as well, today. Ten innings, one run, two big wins.
I'm pretty much done.
Oh last night one more thing.
Ben Francisco, holy ****.. Excuse the language. Does he own Andy Sonnanstine or what? Jesus everything he throws, Ben kills, even the fouls.
Moving on.. After that debacle, wait what debacle? Oh yeah the Zach Jackson thing.
The Indians optioned him back on out to Columbus. To replace him on the roster they called up Tomo Ohka, who is taking the 40 Man spot of Anthony Reyes, who was placed on the 60 Day DL.
Great...
Ohka right now is bullpen stuff. The plan is to get Sowers the start on Monday. But plans change. I doubt they'll use Sowers in a pen situation with Ohka around though.. That means Ohka would start on Monday and they can't do that, can they?
