Coming into last night I will admit I was a big doubter of the Cleveland Indians. I realize they had a 29-15 record which was by far the best in baseball. However, I didn’t believe this team was built for the long run. Think about it. Their best offseason acquistion was a washed up Orlando Cabrera who assets to the game, speed and OBP, have declined greatly with his age. I didn’t believe much in Manny Acta either especially considering the improvements Jim Riggleman has made in DC with the Nationals. Finally, it was only May 23rd and Cleveland was opening a three game set with Boston. This begins a stretch for the Indians against some of the best teams in baseball. After hosting Boston, Cleveland travels to Tampa to face the Rays, travel to Toronto to play the Blue Jays who are currently alive and well in the AL East race. Then comes a four game homestand against the Texas Rangers, who just returned Josh Hamilton from the DL. After a breather against the Twins, the Indians then go to Yankee Stadium and Detroit. So, I thought and still have some belief that this May-June stretch would do them in.
But after last night’s come from behind win against Boston, I am starting to buy in to this Cleveland team.
There was absolutely no reason for them to win last night’s game. The Red Sox are the hottest team in baseball. Since April 16 they are 13 games over .500 and right in the AL East race only 1 game behind Tampa. But Cleveland rallied with 2 runs in the 8th off of stud reliever Daniel Bard capped by a game winning double by Asdrubal Cabrera.
Something special appears to be developing with these Indians that is beyond basic stats and data. With rallies like what took place Monday night, it’s getting hard to not believe in Cleveland.
