Wedge is costing us!

Infact, nevermind, since he doesn't manage the game. All the time, we have runners on 1st and 2nd, no outs, and he NEVER does anything. Almost everytime we either ground out into a double play, and strike out. This has to stop right now. Wedge needs to really begin to make things happen. Here's what he needs to do.

If we have a guy on 2nd or a guy one 1st and 2nd with no outs, bunt him over! If Hafner, Blake, or Victor, or anyone who is doing very good, then fine, let them hit. But if somone like Jason Michaels is up with guys on 1st and 2nd no outs, bunt them over. Then, all we need is a ground ball to the right side, a fly-ball deep enough anywhere, or a hit and we score one, maybe two. Also, if Mota is in, DON'T leave him in for 3 innings like he did against KC. Be smart Wedge! Granted small ball is not always the best method, but we need to start doing little and smarter things to get one run in here and there.

we groundout or strike out everytime??? how would that be wedge's fault??? pitching is great one series and hitting sucks, then its the other way around... we need a new pitching coach to bring energy... when eddie was fired as hitting coach indians started hitting way better, so we should do the same thing with the pitching... dont forget guys we did win 93 games last season with wedge...

No I'm pretty sure the pitching has sucked almost every series..

really?? i dont think so... today indians lost 3-2... yesterday 3-0... thats pretty good, both the starters went aleast 6 innings to...

Wedge is terrible... But so is Mota, Graves, Miller, Byrd and Johnson.. Not to mention Westbrook has sucked as well as of late...

I'm shocked Big Snacks has picthed well since gettting his fat ass back on the mound...

I'm not completely blaming Wedge for losing games on his own, the pitching is what has done that, but Eric is hurting us. There are just times where his actions lead to us losing.

wedge is not the pitching coach... i would like to see sowers be number 4 pitcher and have byrd in the bullpin... i think that could work... mota really is a good pitcher, im surprised he is doing this bad... but it will get better, cleveland is a good team... SWEEP ROYALS!!!!!!!!
