Record: 40 - 36
Standing: Second in AL Central
Well it's been another terrible week for the Tribe. They only managed 1 win against the Rockies and got swept this past weekend by the Giants. If there's a saving grace it's that most of the games we lost were one-run affairs, which means our pitching was solid (with the exception of Fausto Carmona) but our hitting continues to suffer. If the hitting doesn't turn around soon, we could be heading into a downward spiral that we won't be able to recover from. It certainly didn't help when Shin Soo-Choo went down this week with a broken thumb after getting hit by a pitch. He's likely going to be out at least 6 weeks. It also hurts playing these interleague games in National League parks because we're without a DH then. The Indians will look to try and climb back up into first place this week (they're only one game behind Detroit currently) as they continue their west coast swing in Arizona starting tonight. After that, we'll head back to Ohio, but it's to play the Reds in Cincinnati this weekend. We were able to sweep the Reds when they played in Cleveland, but I have a feeling they'll be a much tougher opponent this weekend. Even though things look bleak at the moment, we gotta stay firm in our belief that this team can win and compete with the best in baseball. Go Tribe!
