The Indians lost the middle game of their three game series with the Kansas City Royals tonight at Jacobs Field. Here are my thoughts on the game:
- I thought Paul Byrd really didn't have his great stuff tonight, but he still gave the club a chance to win.
- Great job by Rafael Perez in giving the team 2 1/3 innings of relief tonight. I really hope they decide to keep him in the bullpen because I really like the idea of having two quality lefties in our bullpen. It just gives Wedge more options late in close ballgames.
- Now I'm not a Wedge basher, but I really hated the idea of pinch running for Pronk in the 8th inning. Ive never been a fan of pinch runners and it really came back to bite us in the butt in the 9th inning. Also, I really don't think Pronk is a slow runner and he is a very good baserunner. I just hope we don't continue to do this in close games.
- It is disappointing to watch this team struggle against the Royals. I think the Royals have improved, but I think we don't get up to play them like we do against the other teams in the division.
- We really need the bats to start picking up some of the slack especially with the shaky pitching of Sowers and Lee.
The Indians will return to the field tomorrow afternoon at 12:05 as Fausto Carmona opposes Odalis Perez.
