Cleveland’s Choo proves to have 20-20 vision

Choo Shin-soo of the Cleveland Indians reached the 20-20 mark (20 homers, 20 steals) in his second to last regular season game yesterday. Although 11 other batters achieved the feat this year, Choo became the first Asian in MLB history to do so.

Facing the Boston Red Sox at the Fenway Park in Boston, Choo hit a two-run home run in the top of the seventh inning. Trailing 10-4 and with Asdrubal Cabrera on first and no outs, Choo took an outside fastball from Paul Byrd and hit it over the “Green Monster.”

The right fielder had hit his 19th home run of the season five days earlier on Sept. 29 against the Chicago White Sox. Choo has 21 stolen bases in the season. The 27-year-old has now reached the 20-20 mark in his first full season with the Indians. He earned two hits in four at-bats to raise his season batting average to .300 and three RBI raises his season total to 86 for the season. He currently leads the team in RBI.

The Busan native signed a one year extension during the offseason and is expected to sign an extension with the Indians after the season.

Indians fire manager Eric Wedge

CLEVELAND (AP) — The Cleveland Indians fired manager Eric Wedge in the final days of a terrible season.

Wedge guided the Indians to one playoff appearance in seven seasons, and this year the club fell out of contention early and is currently one game out of last place in the AL Central.

The Indians, who are 64-92, have scheduled a Wednesday afternoon news conference at Progressive Field to announce Wedge’s dismissal.

Cleveland recently lost 11 straight games and have dropped 20 of its last 25 games.

Wedge will finish out the season as manager, including Wednesday’s doubleheader against the Chicago White Sox. Cleveland’s coaching staff has also been informed it will not be retained, but some of the staff could be rehired by the Indians’ next manager.

The Indians are expected to begin interviews for a new manager in the weeks ahead.

Two years ago, Cleveland was one win away from a World Series trip. The Indians fell to 81-81 in 2008, but were expected to bounce back and contend this season. However, a slow start snowballed and by midseason the club traded defending Cy Young winner Cliff Lee and All-Star catcher Victor Martinez to begin rebuilding again.

Owners Larry and Paul Dolan and general manager Mark Shapiro have spent the past several weeks reviewing Cleveland’s organization, including the manager and initially said they would wait until after the season before making a decision on Wedge. However, they decided not to delay what many Indians players felt was inevitable.

Sizemore’s second surgery goes well

Grady Sizemore went 2-for-2 in the surgery stat line.


Sizemore underwent successful surgery on Wednesday morning to reinforce an unstable abdominal wall on his lower left side. The condition, known as an athletic pubalgia, was corrected by Dr. Bill Meyers in Philadelphia. Head athletic trainer Lonnie Soloff accompanied Sizemore on the trip to Philly and reported that all went well during the 20-minute procedure, which required a small incision in the region.

So that’s two successful surgeries in the span of a week for Sizemore, who had arthroscopic surgery on his left elbow on Sept. 9.
