Record: 8-10, 3rd in AL Central
A thoroughly frustrating week that saw the Tribe start their road trip going 2-4. The main culprit was a lack of hitting. In almost every game, our starting pitching was strong and gave us plenty of opportunities to win. Sadly, time after time our bats were silent. I'm really hoping that our offense can come out of its funk because we might actually have a halfway decent team. The only starter who has struggled is Justin Masterson. If the starting pitching can keep up their performances, the weaknesses of our bullpen won't be exposed that often.
This week we'll finish up this lengthy road trip with a stop in Anaheim. They've had their struggles early on, but they also just gave the Yankees their first series loss of the season, so they may be starting to get their act together. We'll then return home on Friday to start another series with Minnesota. The Twins have looked strong so far this year, but hopefully some home cooking will be just what the doctor ordered for us and we can get on a roll. As always, Go Tribe (and oh yeah, go Cavs too).
