So last night was obviously not a good night for the Tribe. The bullpen was terrible, Sabathia hurt his abdomen, and we let the Whitesox hurt us like they did all last year.
Bullpen
On atleast two occasion the Indians' relievers walked the first two batters to start an inning and it came back to pay each and everytime. Hopefully it is just a fluke, but I can't imagine Graves having too many bad outings left before Wedge decides Andrew Brown is a better option.
Sabathia
You can't know for sure whether Sabathia's control was influenced by his injury, but I certainly hope so. C.C. isn't scheduled to start for another week, so the Indians can take their time to determine whether his stomach injury beckons an early visit to the D.L. Be grateful there is a day off for the Indians today because the bullpen is gonna need some rest.
WhiteSox
I really don't want to get into the whole "smartball" discussion because thats been done already. But it was impressive to see them be so successful getting guys in after they put them on (like all those walks.)
