What’s Going on with Derek Lowe?
When the Indians traded for Derek Lowe immediately after the 2011 season, I thought it was a pretty shrewd move. They were buying low—PUNS!!—on a pitcher who had run into some incredibly tough luck during the 2011 campaign. Atlanta seemed a bit eager to cut bait with him due to his terrible close to the 2011 season: from August 2nd until the end of the season, opposing batters...

Lowe has been a highlight for Indians
It's getting to the point now where it's safe to say that Derek Lowe is saving the Indians' rotation. Without Lowe, the Indians' spotty rotation would be an even bigger mess than it already is. Tuesday, in his best start of the season, and his best start in several seasons, Lowe pitched a six-hit shutout over Minnesota in leading the Indians to a 5-0 victory. ...

Indians are as real as anything in AL Central
MINNEAPOLIS Numbers are betraying Manny Acta in the best possible way.This is a man of spreadsheets, of analytics. The Cleveland Indians' manager has moved beyond spray charts to something more complex, to infield shifts and defensive adjustments. Acta plays the odds "If a guy hits 80 percent of balls to one side of the infield, you've got to go that way," he...

Lowe’s shutout helps Indians sweep Twins
Derek Lowe had already impressed most baseball fans this year with his 5-1 record and brilliant performance in the early going. Then he really impressed on Tuesday afternoon in Minnesota. Lowe threw a complete game shutout against the Twins. Gave up 6 hits, walked 4 and struck out zero. He was supported by some early Tribe offense as Casey Kotchman singled in the games first run...

Choo's single in 9th lifts Indians over Twins
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) -- The Cleveland Indians had lost three in a row and five of their previous six, with another strong start to the season threatening to start swirling down the drain.
They appeared headed toward another loss when the bullpen faltered in the eighth inning before Shin-Soo Choo came to the rescue.
Choo hit the go-ahead RBI single in the ninth inning to back Jeanmar...

Indians designate Wheeler for assignment
The Cleveland Indians have designated struggling reliever Dan Wheeler for assignment.
The Indians made the move on Monday, one day after Wheeler gave up six runs on five hits in one inning of a loss to the Boston Red Sox. The right-hander didn't allow a run in seven of his first eight appearances for the Indians, but gave up nine runs in his last four outings. Wheeler had an...

Cleveland Indians’ lack of pitching is an insult to “Pedestrian”*
The other day I heard someone say, that the Cleveland Indians’ pitching was, “Pedestrian.”
To say Cleveland’s pitching is pedestrian, is an insult to pedestrians, and anyone that has ever brought a pair of walking shoes (Mr. Rogers style). This pitching staff is competitively repulsive. Only they could give up 23 runs to a Boston Red Sox team that was struggling...

With Ubaldo struggling, the Indians need Justin Masterson to step up
Follow @ClevelandDTR
By: Eric Grinnell
The Cleveland Indians had a relatively disappointing week, going 3-5, which brought their overall record to 18-16, still good for 1st in the AL Central. The week started out promising, as the Tribe swept their doubleheader against the Chicago White Sox on Monday, but they then lost 5 of their next 6 games.
1. In order for the Indians...

Johnny Damon Has No Business In Hall of Fame
Johnny Damon believes he belongs in the Hall of Fame even if he doesn’t surpass 3,000 hits. He says his high ranking on the all-time runs and doubles lists as well as the fact that he’s been a clean player in the steroids era make him Hall worthy.
