Googling the name Fausto Carmona is a bit Cedric Mullins Jersey of an odd experience.The images which pop up are indeed those of the former Cleveland Indians pitcher. The same can be said for any stats shown in the results.However, the name youre presented is completely different than the one you searched for.Roberto Hernndez.Mind you, there are no did you mean to search or users also searched for to be found in the results. You simply seek one name, and get served another.Its fitting, honestly, considering this accurately sums up Carmonas time with the Tribe -- thinking youre getting one thing, only to get another.A failed closer. A Cy Young-caliber starter. The inconsistent ace of a shoddy rotation. Fausto Carmonas career bounced back and forth, littered with so many twists in such a short period of time that it's still hard to keep track.And this was before we found out that wasnt even his real name.As with any big leaguer, its crucial to make a solid first impre sion. What Carmona did during his 2006 debut season with the Indians could be politely called the opposite of that.Sure, he won his first start, going 6.0 innings with four strikeouts and allowing one earned run. Said victory was also the only one he pulled off that season. He allowed a combined 14 earned runs in his next two starts before eventually being converted to a reliever.Things seemed to settle down from there. For a minute, it seemed like Carmona had found his home in the bullpen.So encouraged were the Indians by his performance that they thought hey, lets make him our closer. In a show of good sportsmanship, Carmona was quick to inform them this wasnt a good idea.Taking over for the recently-traded Bob Wickman, Carmona proceeded to give up eleven earned runs in four straight appearances. This added up to four lo ses and three blown saves, two of which came on walk-off home runs.To the surprise of no one, this brought a swift end to Carmonas time as Chance Sisco Jersey Clevelands closer.Still, the Indians werent ready to give up on him despite his finishing the year with a 1-10 record. They shifted his role back to starting pitcher, a project he was supposed to be eased into in 2007. Said plan was scrapped when Cliff Lee suffered an abdominal strain, forcing Carmona into the opening day rotation.Initial results from his first start -- six earned runs in 4.1 innings pitched -- were le s than encouraging. With his young career already featuring plenty of inconsistency, predicting where things went from here for Carmona was a fools errand.Which made what happened next both surprising and completely on-brand.Relying on a sinker Torii Hunter famously called practically unhittable, Carmona went on to have the Trey Mancini Jersey best season of his career. His ERA (3.06) was never lower. His fWAR (3.3) was never higher. His record (19-8) was never better.Suddenly, the pitcher who couldnt close a game to save his life was receiving Cy Young consideration. Paired with CC Sabathia at the top of the rotation, Carmona helped push the Indians to their first division win in six years, setting the stage for one of the signature moments of his career.Scroll to ContinueThe night of the midges.Matched up against Andy Pettite and the Yankees in Game 2 of the ALDS, Carmona threw a gem. He went a full nine innings, allowing just three hits and one earned run. Quite an impre sive line for his first career postseason start.More impre sive was the fact he was able to maintain this line while a swarm of midges hovered around the mound.While the tiny bugs threw off New York reliever Joba Chamberlain to the point where he blew a save without allowing a hit, Carmona was undaunted. As Cleveland first baseman Ryan Garko noted after the game, this was due to the fact hed pitched through far worse swarms."I played in the Dominican Republic with Carmona last winter, and there were bugs ten times that size flying around that field.While insect hoards didnt phase Carmona, the Boston Red Sox sure did. Clevelands ALCS opponent made his life a nightmare, tagging him for eleven earned runs in two starts which lasted a combined six innings.This constant back and forth on the mound became a trend for Carmona over the next few seasons.A strong start to the 2008 campaign was followed by a hip injury, a brutal finish and an even uglier fight with Gary Sheffield. His ERA ballooned to 6.32 the following year, and he opened the 2011 campaign with a performance for the record books, allowing ten earned runs in 3.0 innings pitched and notching the worst opening day start in MLB history.True to form, crammed between these struggles was a bounce-back campaign in 2010, where his 3.77 ERA earned him the only All-Star nomination of his career.Yet, this twist was nothing compared to what we all learned in January of 2012.It was then that we were greeted with an alert which e sentially said Indians pitcher Fausto Carmona is actually Roberto Hernndez. Said alert was a lot to unpack on its own, but the story got weirder from there.Attempting to renew his visa in the Dominican Republic, Hernndez was instead arrested. Turns out his birth Chris Tillman Jersey certificate had been doctored, and the woman who falsified it went public after not receiving payment. On top of Hernndez using a different name, he was also three years older than he claimed to be.Youd think, with a career featuring so many peaks and valleys, itd be almost impo sible for Hernndez to shock anyone anymore. Obviously, a story like this proved otherwise. Not only were the Indians completely thrown off, even Hernndezs agent claimed the ordeal took us by complete surprise.All involved parties did what they could to move forward from here.After serving a suspension, Hernndez returned to Clevelands rotation in August of 2012. He logged just three starts, losing Jonathan Villar Jersey each and allowing a combined 12 earned runs.Attempts to make a fresh start continued to flame out for Hernndez from there. Over the next three seasons, he started a combined 66 games for five different teams. He was worth just 0.1 wins above replacement in that time, eventually leaving baseball for good in 2016.Hernndezs time with the Indians was a constant back and forth. Of his seven seasons in Cleveland, five of them ended with an ERA of 5.25 or higher. The two that he didnt were 2007, when he finished fourth in Cy Young voting, and 2010, when he notched his lone All-Star nod.Hernndez left Indians fans with plenty to remember, some good, some bad. He gave them one of the briefest closing tenures in recent memory, as well as one of the most memorable postseason starts in team history. Some of the best performances of his career were sandwiched betwe
