when will Eric Wedge get fired already?

seriously this guy has been horrible. I understand the indians have a bunch of injuries but really... leaving Jensen Lewis in the game for 50+ pitches is absurd. Wedge blows!!!!

    I ask the same thing yesterday.

    In last night's game he replaced Matt Herges (.103 batting average vs lefties) with Rafael Perez (.383 batting average vs lefties) to pitch to lefty Prince Fielder with the bases loaded and a 12 to 9 lead. Sure enough Fielder hits the first pitch for a grand slam.

    Then in the ninth he lets Luis Valbuena (.179) and Kelly Shopach (.207) bat when he had Ryan Garko on the bench.

    I think his days might be numbered.

    Wedge's decisions lately have been dictated by who he had healthy or who was rested and who wasn't. The facts are, the Indians are not performing well due to the many injuries they have and the lack of depth they have in the bullpen. Fix these situations, and Wedge will do fine. Eric did not become a bad manager over night. The circumstances have a lot to do with the team's performance, not the manager's decisions. The Indians realise this and they probably will hold on to their very fine manager.

    I think after last nights game that he didnt have alot of arms to take him out early. Wedge has a horrible pitching staff and bullpen plus Sizemore is gone.

    as an Indians fan, I thoroughly disagree with the honest climate fan comments. This group replaced into one win faraway from the international sequence final twelve months. on an identical time as injuries have harm the group and would harm any group, this group replaced into failing to hit long till now Hafner, Martinez, Carmona and Westbrook went on the DL. Barfield is on the DL yet i don't even count variety him because of the fact he had spend maximum of his time interior the minors and landed on the DL after being on the great league club for some week. Hafner ought to have been pulled long till now he went on the DL. all and sundry going to the video games - and that i went to lots of them - ought to work out Hafner replaced into in simple terms going to the batters field, flailing away and then strolling decrease back to the bench. Ho hum, yet another strikeout, yawn. The followers deserve greater. not something replaced into invested in this group interior the offseason even with the reality that everybody else interior the branch upgraded. i don't know if Wedge is the subject or in simple terms area of the subject yet there ARE issues. Why we save trotting Betancourt obtainable is previous me. it particularly is in simple terms dreadful. i've got self assurance the worst for Cliff Lee - pitching like a considerable League stud on a minor league group. Him and Sizemore are it for the Indians. you at the instant are not a "honest climate fan." you're - like me - an fairly pissed off and disgusted fan. And as dependable followers, we've that suitable to state our disgust on the unfavorable product given to us at REGRESSIVE field.
