In so, so many ways, this has been a typical April, the sort that makes the NFL draft the highlight of the month for Cleveland Indians fans:
- The two most important relief pitchers, Cody Allen and Bryan Shaw, have ERAs that look like zip codes and have lost four games between them.
- Corey Kluber once again gets almost no run support.
- Carlos Carrasco briefly pitches like a Cy Young winner, then sustains what initially looks like a devastating injury.
