A brief timeline of the Tribe’s 2018 playoffs:
- October 5 to 8: Cleveland gets swept out of the ALDS in three games, only putting the ball in play 13 times.
- October 8: In the aftermath of the game three loss, Jason Kipnis and Mike Clevinger directly blame a lack of preparation, specifically scouting and analytics, on the team’s performance.
As fans, we’ve been searching for a way to process all this for a bit now and I’m sorry to tell you I do not yet have an answer for the best way to do that.
