Indians Tidbits (2010 season)

eck

Donald is an error machine, 8 errors in 38 starts

only 5 less than the MLB leader, who has made 77 starts

Nix Homers, 5-1

looks like the Rangers are throwing out their gas cans today

1. This is the LaPorta we all wanted to see. Maybe a regular spot in the lineup was all he really needed.

2. Donald's defensive woes are disturbing. But, he's showing the bat to be a solid utility infielder/occasional starter for the future.

3. Jayson Nix has been a pleasant surprise thus far. I doubt he keeps it up, but he's been quite effective.

4. Again, Santana is a mensch.

I don't remember where I read it (maybe here), but it was said that his spring training injury was more serious than previously thought. In his stint in Columbus they supposedly completely changed his swing because he wasn't using his lower body because of pain. His swing became almost entirely upper body strength. It looks like the adjustments are paying off along with an everyday spot in the lineup.

Kearns sets the North American record for beanings in a game

Indians win 9-3

Bullpen pitched 4 2/3 and only gave up 1 ER, not bad

Fuck this team for making me a little excited about the future.

LaPorta is at Medical Center of Arlington getting a CT scan of his head after collision tonight. Showed concussive symptoms.

The CT scan is a precautionary measure. LaPorta also had a head injury in 2008 Beijing Olympic Games when hit in head by a pitch.

LaPorta's CT scan came back negative. He'll be evaluated again Tuesday.
