Moving Forward
by scott longert on 06/03/17I had a chance to get to Progressive Field on Tuesday to watch the Indians and Oakland A's. The Indians looked like a championship team, easily winning 9-4. Trevor Bauer had a great outing, striking out fourteen. The A's scored three runs early, but Bauer had them under control the rest of the way. I am hoping this is a turning point for him and that there will be a number of quality starts the rest of the season.
The offense was outstanding as well. Home runs by Jason Kipnis and Bradley Zimmer , big hits from Ramirez and Encarnacion and just about everybody in the lineup.
Michael Brantley had a terrific throw from the outfield to nail a runner at home. This performance showed how tough the team can be when they put things together. Let's hope the Indians will start winning at home consistently and open up a lead in the division. I think it is about time.
Work has begun on my new book about the Indians from the late 1930's up to the start of World War II. I am in 1937, talking about how Cleveland had and lost Tommy Henrich, a great outfielder and a major injury to Bob Feller to start the season. More on this later.
