Notes from the Wigwam: Wins continue to pile up
The wins continue to roll in for the Cleveland Indians, who now sit alone atop the American League Central with a record of 26-17.
So, how good was this past week and a day? Well, for starters, the Indians had three, yes count that, three walk-off wins during the past series against the Seattle Mariners, which ended up being a four-game sweep.
Even when the Indians made mistakes...
Starting Off Strong
From May 11th through the 19th, the Indians played nine games and won seven (tied with the Pirates and Rangers for best in the Majors over that span). The run has brought the Indians from third into 2.5 games ahead of Detroit for first in the Central Division. The main reason for the team's success has been very impressive starting pitching through the entire rotation.

"Controlling the Game" and the Cleveland Pitching Staff
I was listening to the Tribe game on Saturday while driving home when Zach McAllister pitched into a jam in the third inning. McAllister ‘got out of the jam’ when Jesus Montero, the runner on first, was picked off by Yan Gomes and then Endy Chavez and Dustin Ackley flew out, after which Hamilton praised McAllister on “doing a great job of getting out of the jam.” ...
Second Thoughts Game #41: Indians 5, Mariners 4
Player of the Game: Mark Reynolds (2-for-5 with a HR, 3 RBI and the game’s winning hit)
The Leadoff
Less than 24 hours after second baseman Jason Kipnis sent more than 34,000 fans home on a walk-off three-run homer Friday night, the Indians got some more late inning heroics Saturday afternoon courtesy of third baseman Mark Reynolds.
With the bases loaded and no outs in the...

Back-to-back walk-off wins for the Tribe and they couldn’t have been more different. A three run bomb versus a fielders choice. Oh, baseball. “Chris Perez, apparently...
5/18 Recap: Mariners 4 - Indians 5
Player of the Game
Similarly to last night, the hero wins the Player of the Game again as the Indians win in walk off fashion. Mark Reynolds knocked in three of the five Indians runs including a solo home run and the RBI fielder's choice to win the game.
Feathers Up
When he was signed, everyone knew that Mark Reynolds was a home run hitter, but where he has impressed...

Notes from the Wigwam: Tribe moves into first place
Seven games. Six wins. I don't know about you, but I’ll take that kind of week any day.
With another outstanding week, the Cleveland Indians are now currently tied atop the standings of the American League Central with a 20-15 record. The Tribe has now won 15 of their past 20 games, and the wins have come in a variety of ways.
Pitching duels? Check. Offensive outbursts? Check...
MLB Game Picks - Sunday: May 12, 2013
After a thrilling day on Friday, I was hoping to repeat a little magic yesterday. It did not happen. The day finished one game under .500. It would have been a game over .500 if the Padres had not lost their game with two out in the ninth. Good on Evan Longoria for the homer though. There were quite a lot of surprises. The Cubs beat the Nats. Though I should not be surprised that...
Game 2013.33: Indians at Tigers
Were you disappointed by the short series against the Nationals? I sure was. Sweep the Astros, fall flat against the Washington National Angels (can’t they beat teams that wear red?)…what does that spell? It spells O-V-E-R-R-A-T-E-D. Until the next bout of euphoria, anyway.
The recently somewhat deflated and first place by a nose Detroit Tigers (19-13) return home following...
Indians go for third straight against Athletics
After struggling with the Oakland Athletics last season, the Cleveland Indians have fared well against them in 2013.
While the surging Indians try for a third straight victory over the A's, Justin Masterson hopes to avoid a third consecutive rough outing and end his recent struggles against the visitors Wednesday night at Progressive Field.
Cleveland (16-14) dropped eight straight...
Indians 1, Athletics 0: Zach Attack, We’ll Be Friends Forever
7:33 PM – A bit late getting started here, but luckily we haven’t missed much. Through two innings, both Zach McAllister and Tommy Milone are perfect.
7:35 PM – Oh look. Mike Aviles is playing left field tonight. That’s weird.
I remember thinking when they traded for Aviles that it was all but certain that Asdrubal would be traded and that Aviles would become our starting...
Second Thoughts Game #30: A's 0, Indians 1
Big Mac does it again
I never get tired of bringing up the fact that we got Zach McAllister forAustin Kearns. And with each start, that joke becomes even funnier. The right-hander put together arguably his most dominant start ever in an Indians uniform pitching seven and two-thirds innings on Tuesday night in a 1-0 Tribe victory over Oakland. McAllister allowed five hits and a...
Indians Zach McAllister, pitched 7-2/3′s of shut out baseball for Cleveland. He’s the new ace on the staff.
The Indians continue to be pleasantly surprised, each time they send Zach McAllister to the mound. Last night he pitched 7-2/3′s innings of shut out baseball. The Tribe has a new win streak started and they took 2 games in a row from the Oakland A’s. The Indians offense only scored one run in last nights game, with the way McAllister was pitching that was all they needed. The...
A’s Offense Stymied, Fall to Indians in 1-0
Despite a stellar performance by starting pitcher Tommy Milone, the A’s fell for the second consecutive night to the Indians. Milone matched zeroes with Indians’ starter Zach McAllister until the fifth inning where an unearned run was all the home team would need to pull out a victory over the A’s.
The lone run of the game crossed the plate in the bottom half of the fifth inning...
Indians, McAllister shutout Athletics 1-0
CLEVELAND--It was starting pitching that was the question mark coming into the 2013 season, and yet, it continues to be that same starting pitching that has given the Indians a chance to win of late.
On the right arm of starter Zach McAllister, the Tribe shutout the Oakland Athletics Tuesday night, 1-0. It was the team’s eighth win in their last nine games, moving Cleveland two...
Indians' McAllister and 2 relievers blank A's 1-0
CLEVELAND (AP) -- Zach McAllister and two relievers combined on a shutout and the Cleveland Indians scored an unearned run in the fifth inning for their eighth win in nine games, 1-0 over the Oakland Athletics on Tuesday night.
McAllister, Rich Hill and Chris Perez limited the highest-scoring offense in the majors to six hits and did not allow a runner to reach second base.
McAllister...
5/7 Recap: A's 0 - Indians 1
Player of the Game
Zach McAllister won his first Player of the Game in 2013 with a fantastic outing. He threw 7.2 innings and allowed just five hits, all singles. He shut out the Athletics with absolutely no margin for error as the Indians scored just a single run. As a team, the Indians have had eight straight positive games by their starting pitchers. This is especially impressive...
McAllister to face Athletics, Milone
The Cleveland Indians' losing streak to the Oakland Athletics is over.
The Indians will now try to hand Tommy Milone a career-worst fourth straight loss.
Cleveland could also move a season high-tying two games above .500 on Tuesday night when this four-game series continues at Progressive Field.
Asdrubal Cabrera had a career high-tying two homers, Mark Reynolds' AL-leading...
Indians 14, Phillies 2: Seven Home Runs…I Repeat…Seven Home Runs Pace Tribe
Who are these Cleveland Indians hitters and what did you do with the group we’ve watched most of the season?
If we can take anything from this current Tribe three-game winning streak it is that this streaky team can be very dangerous when they get hot. The baseball season is a marathon, not a sprint. We are only a month in and we’ve already seen many peaks and valleys with our...
"Cleveland Rocks" Halladay, Phillies in Series Opener, 14-2.
Final: Phillies 2, Indians 14.
WP: Zach McAllister (2-3, 3.30 ERA) LP: Roy Halladay (2-3, 6.75 ERA)
I'm starting to think that the Drew Carey Show's theme song "Cleveland Rocks", created in 1997 for the hit sitcom, was meant just for tonight's game at Progressive Field 16 years later. Without a doubt, the Indians rocked Roy Halladay in his outing...
The Phils go to Cleveland to begin their second Interleague Series of the year as they prepare to face the Indians.

Orbiting Cleveland: Gauging the 25-man roster
No matter how you look at it, there’s one constant when it comes to Major League baseball: There’s 25 men going to war each day and playing a key role in making or breaking the season of a Major League team.
From the start of the season through September 1, every MLB team is composed of 25 men who are out there every day competing in an effort to maximize their team’s chances...
Second Thoughts Game #19: White Sox 3, Indians 2
Pre-Game Commentary
Coming off three straight wins to climb back to 8-10, the Indians needed to solve Jorge Quintana to leave Chicago with a rain-shortened series sweep. Two weeks ago, Quintana pitched seven innings of one-hit baseball against the Indians, and he was facing a lineup without Michael Bourn, Carlos Santana, and Asdrubal Cabrera during this game. From the start,...
