The hitting has been up and down, but players like Lindor and Kipnis have been keeping the team in most of the games. It is still too early but the Tribe's pitching may carry them a long way. 

There has been some outstanding pitching all around both leagues. I watched Clayton Kershaw throw an amazing shutout last week, I believe striking out fourteen batters. There does not seem to be any limit to his greatness. Chris Sale is having an unreal start this year, winning six in a row. We may see several twenty-game winners before the season is finished. 

The most surprising story out there is the pitching of Jordan Zimmermann of the Tigers. Right now he is dominating the American League along with Chris Sale. He was expected to help the Tigers pitching staff but has gone way beyond that. This may be the year of the pitcher. 

I am still on the disabled list but the knee surgery went well. Now I can sit at the computer for about twenty minutes which means the blogs will be back on time.
