When I look at the Indians lineup, I see 4 legit major league caliber hitters, and that’s just for any team, not a contender. Maybe two crack a playoff lineup. Being so broke and needing to worry about service years and delaying eventual paydays, I think the triple-A team might have a better lineup than the Indians do.
We sent down 3 guys who are far superior to the guys we kept up. We need a new ownership group in the worst way. Our pitching staff is going to lose their minds this year. The O/U was set right at 81. I have no desire to root against my team all year, so it didn’t interest me, but I’m going to be shocked if they reach 81 wins given the division got better and they have to play the usual schedule of wealthy East and west coast teams unlike last year.
Really tilting to watch good pitching and they can’t scratch them out even 3 or 4 runs. On the bright side, even with reduced capacity, I’ll be able to catch games with premium seats for $50. I laughed at the 25% capacity rule when it emerged. Given our projected lineup, I thought to myself 25% under any rules seemed optimistic.
