He was shifted there for 3 batters in the 4th inning against Baltimore <a href="http://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/CLE/CLE197009250.shtml" rel="nofollow">September 25</a>. <br /><br />Tricky move by Alvin Dark, but it didn't work. Reliever Rick Austin gave up a 2-run double to Boog Powell to make it 5-0. Rittwage came back in the 5th and went another 3 innings.sjhax56noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6766775162963853142.post-60635470208867384042009-11-15T23:00:08.651-05:002009-11-15T23:00:08.651-05:00The Indians probably lost confidence in Ralph when...The Indians probably lost confidence in Ralph when they saw him in that ridiculous looking hatAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
