It seems disaster has struck the Cleveland Indians.First, they lost starter Danny Salazar to a forearm strain, which was announced last Monday; he is likely done for the year but might be able to return during the postseason. A day later, catcher Yan Gomes was hit by a pitch in a rehab game and is likely lost for the year with a nondisplaced fracture in his right hand. The latest calamity came Saturday in the form of a line drive that broke a bone in Carlos Carrascos hand, sidelining him for the rest of the year.Writer Paul Hoynes has covered the team a long time, and even he thought the writing was on the wall. Replacing Carrasco and Salazar with Josh Tomlin and Mike Clevinger wasnt going to lead to success. Thats reality and that means a quick exit in the postseason, he wrote.The players themselves rallied against the writer, however, and let their voices be heard, with Jason Kipnis leading the way:But what can this decade of postseason baseball teach us about the Indians chances?

WACO, Texas -- On a late November night two seasons ago, Oklahoma State suddenly pulled the redshirt off their highly touted quarterback.Mason Rudolph lost his debut that night at Baylor, but the Cowboys won their regular-season finale at rival Oklahoma the next week to get bowl eligible.Oklahoma State then won its first 10 games last season before a home loss to the Bears.In a Big 12 opener Saturday night, Rudolph gets another chance to win against the only conference opponent the junior quarterback hasnt defeated yet when the Cowboys (2-1) play at 16th-ranked Baylor (3-0).When he was a freshman, he played down (in Waco), and actually played pretty well.
