One Week Down
by scott longert on 04/11/16Despite all the rain outs and snow storms at least some of the games got played. I fail to see the wisdom of cities in the Midwest having home openers the first week of April. Here in Cleveland the weather was suitable for mid-February and as a result there were two cancellations. The Indians moved on to Chicago where of course another game was cancelled. Teams in the A.L. Central should open up on the road in California or Texas. That being said the weather at home here today is in the 40s with rain all day. What to do?
When the Indians did play we saw some good and bad. The Tribe's two best pitchers, Kluber and Carrasco both struggled while Salazar and Anderson looked good. Mike Napoli hit two home runs while Francisco Lindor played well. The old guys, Byrd, Davis and Uribe looked, well pretty old.
It never fails when the guy who signed for an astronomical amount of money fails out of the gate. Zack Greinke got off to a poor start and Arizona hardly looked like the team to beat. The Twins and their young players could not buy a win, while Baltimore got off to a flying start. Of course it is too early to spot any trends but that is the fun of it, especially in April. Till next time!
