I wanted to comment on your statement:<br /><br /><i>the Indians’ pitching has been the strength of the team to date</i><br /><br />The Tribe is currently 7th in the AL in runs scored/game at 4.38 (league average 4.29) and 8th in the AL in runs allowed at 4.25 (league average 4.25 - shouldn't the two averages be the same?). We have a team OPS+ of 102 and ERA+ of 97.<br /><br />The Indians' run total may be a bit skewed by a few outbursts (like 19 vs KC in one game), but so is the pitching. I'd suggest that the Indians' success is pretty much equal parts batting and pitching (and defense, back when we used to be good at that).<br /><br />Happy Father's Day!Andyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13047104184007592041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11805401.post-62273844110502385992011-06-19T11:28:30.282-04:002011-06-19T11:28:30.282-04:00Happt Fathers Day Paul!Happt Fathers Day Paul!scotto313https://www.blogger.com/profile/17579848474407465092noreply@blogger.com
