Wedge was stuck in his ways....very stubborn.
I hope Acta isn't the same way.

Incredible ending for the Tigers yet a jawdropping one for the Tribe. Verlander doesn't pitch great and they still found a way to win. The Tribe helped them out a bit but a W is a W.

In all fairness, every relief guy he stuck in there stunk. The only relief pitcher left was Tony Sipp. And he's been a gas can too.BR1986FB wrote:That's a different story. If you've used up your arsenal you've got to stick with the closer. I just don't get it when there ARE fresh arms and the manager sticks with a sinking ship.Footwedge wrote:I agree with you and BR. Problem was...who was left? Looks to me that Acta burned up the whole pen.gabuckeye wrote: I never understood it either. Especially for Cleveland, when its not even their permanent closer. Managers should just go out there and say, "Sorry, but you suck today, try harder next time bub."
Remember that Yankees game a few years ago (think it was the first homestand of the year) where we had a huge lead and Wickman or Borowski gives up a game winning HR to A-Rod after the closer blew a 5 or 6 run lead? Those are head scratchers.
