Is 30-15 big enough sample size to say Indians are for real?

Ask Bill Parcel

pavyracer · 05-24-11, 11:03 AM

They will still lose to either Yankees or Redsox in the playoffs.

sonyman · 05-24-11, 11:32 AM

-----------They look pretty good right now. Lots of baseball left to play.

i agree---nice 7 game lead but the tigers could get hot and catch them

thebestthereis · 05-24-11, 11:42 AM

.320 risp, bullpen #1. The rest means zero. If this continues they will be in the playoffs for certain.

marcoloco · 05-24-11, 12:12 PM

i say yes

Whippit · 05-24-11, 12:25 PM

tough call, everything is so upside down rite now

even Masterson's growing hair on the wrong side of his head

I'm wondering if Cinderella herself was real, or just a blip

yeah just like lakers wouldn't allow themselves to get swept out of the playoffs in their quest for a 3-peat.

silly statement sir.

antifoil · 05-24-11, 01:03 PM

yeah they think they are serious business

klids3 · 05-24-11, 01:23 PM

No not when half of the wins are lucky wins after the 8th inning lucky bastards

Don't think it's so much luck though... they are playing great baseball. Every game comes down to who can score the most runs in 9 innings. They are the best at staying in games and scoring late into games. In baseball, this is a sign of a good team, not luck.

unusialsusp5 · 05-24-11, 03:50 PM

no, they will lose 40 of their next 65 games to be at 55-55 with 52 left to play and will lose 30 of those to end up a disappointing 77-85...

Whippit · 05-25-11, 03:55 PM

got hammered today 14-2...football score

run differential collapsed in only 1 game

face · 05-25-11, 04:10 PM

yea but they're the best though.

Davydave · 05-26-11, 08:33 AM

Yeah, they look like they're for real, just hope that they don't implode during the dog days of August.

i got a future on indians to win their division. looking a little better now that they got jiminez.

HoulihansTX · 07-31-11, 02:10 AM

They have a losing record vs the AL.
Interleague was awesome for them.

face · 07-31-11, 02:17 AM

they have to play the tigers and white sox a ton coming up.

laclippers504 · 07-31-11, 02:25 AM

They need to put up runs

why does everyone want cle to start scoring and screw up a good thing with their unders

been on a pretty nice under tick the last month and a half or so, really nice if you take out the series after the all-star break.

OTL · 07-31-11, 03:47 AM

They just picked up Ubaldo. My team could do some damage down the stretch.

adamo1018 · 07-31-11, 05:32 AM

Oh yeah hes really going to tear it up now that hes in a division WITH CLEARLY BETTER HITTING, but yeah his numbers should improve!

HCBoone · 07-31-11, 07:56 AM

Anything can happen. I'm happy they made that trade.

CntryBoy · 07-31-11, 08:22 AM

Hoping Ubaldo will take Carmona out of the rotation... I can barely stand watching games he starts anymore. I'm a diehard but realistic fan, their pitching has been consistently solid (except Carmona and occasionally Carrasco) but where oh where has the O gone?? It'll be a nailbiting last 50 games or so.

homosayswhat · 07-31-11, 08:27 AM

FUKO = Orlando is a wash...one stinks of losing..and the other was washed up...so it is a wash...

Jimenez is sweet...that could help...but they need a guy that gets on base....works the count...FUKO...nah...they still need a guy that can get on....

BigDeem5 · 07-31-11, 09:12 AM

The Indians gave up alot for Ubaldo, so hopefully it turns out worth it. The Indians need Choo healthy, the staff will look like Masterson, Ubaldo, Tomlin, Carassco, and Carmona

HoulihansTX · 07-31-11, 09:34 AM

Cleveland needs another couple weeks of interleague.

Richkas · 07-31-11, 10:11 AM

23-36 since....u tell me

Yup. Picking up a guy who, aside from last season (which was an aberration), has a 3.66 ERA in the National League, not to mention a 4.46 ERA this season automatically makes your team viable. They still don't have anyone to legitimately throw against Verlander.

Richkas · 07-31-11, 12:32 PM

Those era's pitching in Colorado is impressive

antifoil · 07-31-11, 12:49 PM

yeah the indians should still be in rebuilding mode and not buyers. they aren't good enough to be trading a bunch of their young assets. fan pressure influence bad decisions being made by the front office. this will hurt the indians in the long run.

he isn't even that good of a pitcher. he stuff is ace material but he is so bad at command not to mention he has been losing velocity. his arm action is terrible leading to long term injury risk. the question indians fans should be asking themselves is why would colorado be wanting to trade him so badly? its not like they are having a fire sale trying to rebuild.

ParlayKing · 07-31-11, 01:07 PM

Indians.

some regression coming up, back to his old self. last year he started 15-1 on the terrible rockies. that era does not mean very much in my opinion.
