There’s a line for every team. Whether it’s the Indians, Yankees, Astros, or a team deep into a rebuild, there’s a point where fans start to panic and see their postseason hopes slip away.
For a team like the Marlins, who know they are rebuilding, maybe it comes immediately when diehard fans realize there won’t be a savior walking through those doors any day. You still watch because baseball is great, and your team is your team, of course, but there’s no stress about a playoff push coming your way.
But what about the Indians? A team that’s supposed to be going for it all with the best rotation in baseball, two of the best infielders in baseball, and an outfield that is technically present in this plane of existence?
