I am now quite glad that I've been in a cave for the last week and have just become privy to the results of the current 5 game losing streak. On top of ALL 5 STARTERS getting shelled (so much for my faith in Tomlin and Gomez), here are the numbers to weep loudly on:
Indians outscored 30 to 4.
Tribe 27-161 at the plate. Quick math later, that's .168. .168? That's like only batting Gimenez and Valbuena, over and over.
It gets worse. Over that span the lineup has accumulated only 3 XBH (2 2B & a Choo homer) which translates to a .199 slugging %. The team has walked just 7 times for a .202 OBP. Add 'em up and the team OPS over the last 5 games is .401. I challenge anyone to find a worse stretch for a team. Like, ever.
Back to those starters: 27.2 IP, 44 H, 27 ER, 11 BB, 15 K, 8.78 ERA, .321 OBA, 1.99 WHIP.
I'll stop now before we all start reaching for razor blades.
