Manny Acta continues to play him despite a batting average that has sunk to 62 points below the Mendoza line...138.
The Tribe, which is struggling offensively cannot afford to have an automatic out batting after Jhonny Peralta.
As far as I'm concerned...the final straw was last nite as the Indians had a rally going....Jhonny had just doubled to score a run, and with runners on second and third and Hughes struggling the Tribe had a chance to take the lead.
Enter automatic out. Inning over.
Manny Acta says he is forced to play Valbuena due to the injury to Cabrera. I say bullshit.
Manny says Valbuena has a 'track record' with this team, and he is notorious for being a second half player, and doesn't hit well in May.
Great.....he'll start hitting in July....I can't wait.
Doesn't hit well means that someone is hitting .220 or .230.
Batting .138 is not hitting AT ALL.
Anybody have ANY ideas? Manny has none.
he isnt in the lineup today.
Bring back Eric Wedge.
Valbuena is absolutely horrible...so he fits right in with this team...ugh
Valbuena out of the lineup, Indians score 13 runs. Coincidence? I think not...
