Tribe Watch (Week 9)

Record: 31-19

Standing: First in AL Central

This has certainly been the roughest week thus far in the season for the Tribe. Managing only one win against both Boston and Tampa was less than encouraging considering either one of those teams could be playoff contenders. Right now the offense seems to be in a funk. With the exception of Asdrubal Cabrera, no one seems to be hitting with any consistency at the moment. It's good that Grady has returned to the lineup, but thus far he's struggled like everyone else to get on base. The good news amongst our recent struggles is that virtually everyone else in our division continues to play just as poorly, if not worse. Looking ahead to this week, the Indians continue their road trip by heading up to the Great White North to take on the Toronto Blue Jays for three games. Then it's back home for a four game set against the Texas Rangers. Both teams have good offenses, so even if our pitching is good, we can't rely solely on it. Let's get those bats going and I'll be there every step of the way to see what happened. Go Tribe!
