Video: Indians’ Joe Smith Jumps the Gun, Quickly Retreats
Mid-way through Thursday afternoon’s big win, Manny Acta payed Justin Masterson a quick visit, asking his starting pitcher if he has one more ground-ball inducing pitch in him.

Indians bullpen finally gets some rest
This was one of Manny Acta's bolder commitments in his three years as manager of the Indians. The Indians were scheduled to play a doubleheader against the Chicago White Sox Monday, and Acta decided he was going to play the doubleheader without using his two top relievers.
