I had today off. My conundrum? Whether or not to get up to watch the 9 AM Indians game or to sleep in. Given the events of the last week, my desire to watch the Tribe this morning was not exactly overwhelming.
But get up I did (albeit after the start) and I actually go to see a team that resembles the Tribe.
Not only did we get another good outing by Westbrook, but we got a team who actually had productive at bats. They didn't (all) try to swing for the fences every time up. We hit sacs. We hit singles. And we made things happen.
With both Detroit and Seattle off today (and the Yankees losing), we even made some headway.
Not perfect, but it was nice to see the turnaround. Hopefully this means Victor is out of his slump. Hopefully Garko can keep hitting. Hopefully Jhonny realizes that he can't step up there trying to hit a homerun every time. And hopefully a day off will get Pronk back on track (although that song is starting to get old).
Still -- good outing for Westbrook. We have nine guys in a line-up, but only one starting pitcher. I'll take a renewed Westbrook over lots of hits.
Although it would be nice to have both.
