Tribe loses third straight on cold bats
The Cleveland Indians lost their third straight game today, their second straight to Oakland. While the Tribe pitching has not been as dominant as expected, the hitting has been downright abysmal.
The Indians have scored a combined 5 runs on 15 hits over the last three ballgames. They've had chances to score as both Chicago and Oakland have tried to help the Tribe get back into each game, but the Tribe hitters just aren't open to charity right now.
It looks alot like poor guess work in the batters box. They're being patient when the opposing pitcher is tagging every part of the strike zone and swinging with reckless abandon when they're not.
Today's game was definitely one of those to forget quickly. CC was wild, Betancourt got hammered and for some reason Jason Michaels and his .000 batting average was hitting third.
But it's not just the Tribe who is suffering right now. Most of the American League is upside down. The cream of the Central (at least on paper), Cleveland and Detroit are a combined 2 and 8. If that's scary, look at the AL East. Boston and New York are on the bottom with Tampa Bay on top! This is one extended April Fools joke!
Go Tribe!
