The 2018 Cleveland Indians have been quite something to behold. Even with the inaction of the offseason and the big losses in the bullpen a .500 record seems something short of expectations. They’re still in first, but it doesn’t feel right. It doesn’t seem like they should be such a mediocre team. The bullpen is not as great as it was, a big offensive contributor is gone, but the rotation is better than ever and the offense is loud as hell. And yet still they barely have their head above water.
Like Mr. Murphy said, everything that could go wrong has gone utterly sideways.
