Cleveland Indians: Looking into Terry Francona’s blunder

I’m sure we’re all tired of hearing about the Cleveland Indians heart-breaking loss to Reds last night. But There was supposedly another element to this loss according to manager Terry Francona.

Terry Francona explained in his post-game interview that while he had LHP Oliver Perez ready in the bullpen, RHP Dan Otero was called out to pitch against Joey Votto with the bases loaded. We all know the chaos that ensued after.

In Tito’s explanation of this mistake he claims that he said “OP” for Oliver Perez.
