Belle's actions and Seitzer's stance prompt mixed signals about leadership and focus as the Indians prepare for the Division Series.
Albie Lopez will start tonight as Brian Anderson moves to the bullpen with the Indians using 11 pitchers for the playoffs. Vizcaino remains limited by a sprained left hand though he pinch runs, while two open bullpen spots were widened to three per Hargrove. Pitching matchups show Lopez facing Travis Miller, Ogea vs Rodriguez, and Nagy against Robertson.
The Indians trailed 5-3 in the seventh before a rally produced three runs. Lofton started with a single and scored again on Seitzer’s drive to center that bounced for a ground rule double. McDowell earned the win in seven innings, improving to 13-9, while Ogea and Ogen’s postseason roles drew comments from Lou Piniella.
In a tense Metrodome season finale, Green Bay jumps ahead 70 on Robert Brooks 13 yard catch. Brett Favre throws for 198 yards as the Vikings defense harasses him and Warren Moon leads a late scoring push to reclaim the lead.

Indians marketing VP Jeff Overton details a stadium boom with 3.5 million tickets sold before opening day and 9.4 million postseason postcards, while noting capacity constraints at Jacobs Field and a strong 1996 attendance near 71 percent.

Fans endured long lines for The Final Play and the NFL Experience as Browns fans witnessed the 60 year old stadium’s last game.
