"We're starting to come together"

[Steve_424]

This thread is one big face palm... :chuckles:

If the pitching was more consistent, I could see the club making a run. But it isn't. Each guy not named Fausto could be headed for a wall here. Westbrook hasn't thrown this many innings in two years. Masterson is in the same boat, with him having already reached his innings total in each of the last two years. Talbot has been smoke and mirrors for a few weeks and last handful of outings have been subpar. Laffey has a sore arm.

Young team so you get inconsistent play and thus inconsistency in record. Thinking this club can climb back into the race as far down as they are is a just a silly expectation and you set yourself up to be disappointed.

I think it's a pipe dream to think the Indians could make the playoffs this year. My initial intent of this thread was pointing out that a lot of the guys that will be a part of our next run are in Cleveland, and that the team of our future is coming together. Absolutely, positively have to find a way to add a FOR starter though.
