Meanwhile Jhonny Peralta is out of the four hole, where he was great last season. Ben Francisco and Asrubal Cabrera cant hit now either.
The only players showing any signs of life on offense, is Victor Martinez, Shin-Soo Choo, and Travis Hafner, who after a strong day Friday, didn't face the tough right hander in Halladay, which was a very questionable decision.
I wont say the world is coming to the end, and the season is not over, because baseball is a marathon, not a sprint. However, the pitching staff doesnt give much hope.
The team E.R.A is higher than the team's on base percentage, not a good sign. The Indians have had a bad start, then a little bad start from Lee, and bad starts from Fausto Carmona and Carl Pavano. Lewis was a little worse than ok, and Anthony Reyes goes Sunday.
If the pitching staff doesn't get dialed in fast, the Indians won't be seeing Wood come in to shut the door in the ninth for a while. The only really good thing that came Saturday, was that DeRosa finally got a real meaningful hit, and Chulk pitched very well, meaning the days of Kobayshi could be over soon.
If the pitching staff continues on this path, the Indians new "three innings & lunch" promo that included a buffet for the first three innings of the game is going to turn into, three innings and you will lose your lunch.
