First of all, Brad Hand came back with two big saves over the weekend, and now has 31 on the year.
He’s blown five saves this season, and four of them have come since the All Star break. And when you are in a pennant race, everything is magnified, and when you lose games you had the lead in going into the ninth inning, it’s a huge deal.
However, Terry Francona is right when he says the Indians cannot run away from Hand if they want to get to the post-season and go deep into October.
