are you speaking this year alone or as a trend of years?The Indians since we consistently beat ourselves through poor fundamentals.
Certainly more pronounced in 2021.are you speaking this year alone or as a trend of years?
I attribute a fair amount of this year to be our youth.
When LeBron was here, yes, the Cavs were the bigger ticket in town than Tribe. But, it's safe to say that the Cavs are currently third in the pecking order in terms of interest and enthusiasm. Also, the Indians currently have the third-highest television ratings in the league, while the Cavs had the lowest local-television ratings this past season since 2002-2003 (the year before LeBron was drafted.If we are going with the not real rivals thing, The Browns and Cavs are their rivals for Cleveland sports fans money and Lebron has turned Cleveland into a bigger basketball town than baseball. (always was football 1st and still is)

Based on what though? The Indians have higher ratings, while the Cavs season ticket base has supposedly tanked. Plus, even sports talk radio features more Tribe talk now than Cavs.For some reason, the Cavs remain the bigger draw it seems. I know the cavs are awful and the Indians are atleast playoff contenders, but the redraw has been set, and its Cavs before Indians.

Cleveland's rival is simple: on a micro level, the team they are facing. Macro level, whoever is above us in the Central.
You can point back to times where we may have had a 'rival,' but that hasn't existed for a bit now. Like looking back, fucking Seattle. Fuck Jay Buhner and his timely HR's against us ruining my life back then.
