MINNEAPOLIS - Give TJ House credit for this, somewhere along the line somebody told him not to make excuses and he listened.
House has made two starts in the first two weeks of his second big-league season and things have not gone well. The excuses, meanwhile, are readily available.
As the fifth and final sled dog in the Indians' starting rotation, House's schedule has been irregular at best. The fifth starter almost always suffers early in the season because of bad weather and off days. House (0-2, 14.14) is suffering.
The left-hander's last spring training start was March 29.
