Finished the month of April with a 12-9 record. The AL Central is tight just like real life. I'm a half game up on Detroit (13-11). Royals are in 4th but only 2.5gb...White Sox are the bottom team and it's not looking good for them as they are 2-8 in their last 10.
I'm batting 10th with a .270 team BA. Suprisingly, Jose Ramirez has led the offense with a .365avg 1hr 12rbi. I have him leading off and Bourn bats 9th. Working out well!
Brantley has struggled with a .266avg 1hr 9rbi.
Just like real life the Indians are struggling mightily against leftys. Brantley batting .186 against LHP. Chisenhall .147, Kipnis .162. I hate facing lefthanders lol. Team is stacked with too many left handed bats honestly.
Carlos Santana leads the team with 5hr. But against RHP he's an abysmal .161
Pitching is not very good. ERA of 4.04 (17th). Kluber is 2-2 4.03era 34k 7bb. Lacking run support. Only had one bad game to open the season. Carlos Carrasco has been my bright spot in the rotation. 3-0 3.00era.
Gavin Floyd after four starts is 2-2 7.84era! With Bauer on the DL for 1-2 months I already have Marcum called up. Really don't want TJ House who just came off injury himself. So I placed Zach McAllister in Floyd's rotation spot and Floyd as my LRP.
McAllister has appeared in 8 games out of the bullpen so far. 0-0 with a 3.38era 17k 3bb so he's been solid. Really hated taking him out of his role but he's the better option over TJ House.
I just lost the first of 4 game series against Toronto. They are a league best 18-5. Doing it with pitching leading with only a 2.52era. And I lost 0-3 so we couldn't hit either the first game. Kluber got the loss after only giving up 1 hit, a solo homerun in 7ip.
