CLEVELAND -- As Andrew Miller jogged to the mound on a recent September night, Josh Donaldson was at the far end of the Indians' dugout alongside manager Terry Francona. Images of Miller's devastating pitches during the American League Championship Series two years ago flooded Donaldson's mind.
The Indians' new third baseman turned to Francona.
"I was like, 'You know, I still have flashbacks of Miller punching me out with that slider,'" Donaldson said with a shake of his head. "It's not pretty."
