The Cleveland Indians lost their second straight game this afternoon today to the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim. Here are my thoughts on the game:
- Another disappointing start from Jeremy Sowers again today. The sad thing is that in the third inning he was one pitch away from getting out of the inning without yielding a run. But that didn't happen and he put the team behind the eight ball again today just like he did last week in Baltimore.
- Inexcusable base running blunder by Mike Rouse cost the team a quality scoring chance in the top of the third inning. When the offense is struggling against a good pitcher these mistakes are simply inexcusable.
- I'm searching for positives on today's game and the only thing that I could come up with is that Pronk got back on track and had two hits.
- The Angels are a team that really exposes the Indians weaknesses of defense and throwing out baserunners. But, it is imperative to play from in front against this team. That way you can take them out of their running game.
- The Tribe relinquished the division lead but lets not get bent out of shape about that we still have a 3.5 games lead in the wild card and if we get back on track and keep winning series we will be fine.
The Tribe now will head to Northern California for a three game weekend series in Oakland. CC Sabathia will take to the hill against Joe Blanton tomorrow night at 10:05.
