Les, this is not one of your better points. The Indians are obviously built around pitching. With the exception of Paul Byrd, our starters are capable of shutting down any opponent for 7 or 8 innings. The bullpen has struggled somewhat, but it’s not because they threw a bunch of untested guys out there, come on Les.
Everyone can see that the offense is the weak spot of the team. They were last year as well, sticking their head in the sand when they faced a pitcher for the first time (same story this year) or when they faced a tough starter not named Santana. But you know, for all the success they had last year against Johan, it wasn’t because they scored 7 runs a game against him. They got great pitching in those games as well. Yeah, we can beat the Jarrod Washburns and their 4.5 ERA’s. But when a team’s ace takes the mound, hope we keep them under 2 runs.
