Only 5 other players in MLB history have done that.
From the guy with 1 homer in a 10 year career.

The same year the Tribe gave away the great Dennis Eckersley so that Manning and Eck' s wife could be together in Cleveland.BRF;1848090 wrote:No.
The year was 1978.

Duane "Thunder" Kuiper was the 2nd baseman. Manning on my list of least favorite Indians.

Unless something changes, Indians staring down 3 straight series losses. Not the start people imagined

I don't care for him much either, as a person and an announcer.cat_lover;1848096 wrote:Manning on my list of least favorite Indians.

Not in the convo but sounds like a Duane Kuiper reference. I think he played some with the Indians but I'm going straight off of my baseball card studies from 30 years ago.BRF;1848093 wrote:Ding Ding!

And when you put it like that, it's a miracle we are 5-7.vball10set;1848125 wrote:Win the first series, lose the next three...nice way to start the season

Apparently they figured out Tomlin is releasing the ball at few degrees more sidearm, versus over the top, in the first 2 starts. Said they know it a pretty easy fix and hopefully it's done for next start. I guess he started going more over the top towards the end of the season last year, to great success, but has fallen back into his "natural" arm slot.
