Cleveland Indians’ manager Manny Acta feels excited for fortune cookie – MLB News
The Cleveland Indians manager Manny Acta, who has recently opened a fortune cookie in a nearby Chinese restaurant, is admitting that as he is not really superstitious rather enjoys the level of uncertainty opening a fortune cookie.
He explained in slight detail saying, “That was unbelievable, I've never gotten a fortune cookie talking about sports in my life . . . and I eat a lot of Chinese food. So that was a pleasant surprise. What's so funny about it is I usually don't even open the cookies, but my friend said, 'Let's open it and see what it says.' My friend, who is pretty wealthy, opened his and it said, 'Your finances are going to be better. I believe in first-pitch strikes, catching the ball and people hitting doubles with the bases loaded.”
Apart from opening a fortune cookie and seeing the reality, the Tribe’s manager is looking somewhat at the bright side of the picture. The opening of a fortune cookie is one thing and explaining and linking it to team’s performance and certain stats is another. Many baseball experts have concluded their own versions of thoughts. Some say Acta here is being optimistic when he says about catching the ball and people hitting and running towards bases for instance.
Overall in relation to above statement, Acta is showing his optimism and feeling comfortable as the way his team is progressing in the Spring Training. Currently with his team, who is busy playing in this year’s Major League Baseball Spring Training, Acta is satisfied on the level of every player’s contribution to maintain a consistency level in the entire season.
From hitters to pitchers, so far, the Indians are doing well at almost every position. Especially Justin Masterson with the ball and Jason Kipnis with bat, are the two promising players to pay attention in the upcoming event. Both are playing tremendously well and if their performance remained continued, the Cleveland Indians can achieve desired results. The management on the other hand is also giving them great confidence and somewhat giving them free hand to continue the same level of thrust which is at the moment giving troubles to many opponents.
