Well, the Tribe just keeps on losing. They won only one game in Texas. They now sit a whopping 11.5 games behind the first place holder White Sox. Starting pitching is starting to resemble hitting which is the opposite of ideal. I know that it is still very early in the season. I'm keeping some hope that they can become the team that they deserve to be.
I'd sure like to see Wedge take them putt-putt golfing or something to relax and get their mind off baseball. I feel like they are all drowning under pressure because it is precisely in pressure situations that they fall apart. Sure, hitters can get the occasional hit or even homerun, but when they have two strikes against them and especially if runners are on base, they just crumble.
They play in Anaheim for a 3-game series starting tonight. Then they head home and have a blessed day off before hosting Toronto over the weekend.
