Offensive Inconsistency
If there’s one underlying issue we’ve seen with the Indians this season, it’s the inconsistent play of the offense.
Still waiting for Edwin Encarnacion to heat up, the Indians are still waiting on that big bat in the lineup that strikes fear into the hearts of opposing pitching.
Leading up to Tuesday night’s game, the Indians had scored just 11 runs all road trip and five times been held to two runs or fewer.
Still yet to be held scoreless in a game, the offense took a on Sunday when Michael Brantley went down in Kansas City with a sprained ankle. Waiting on his return, Yandy Diaz made his return to the big league roster after scorch in AAA Columbus.
Placing Diaz in left, it is not likely we see a return of Brantley this series, but has a good shot of returning to the lineup on Friday when the team returns to play Minnesota.
Still waiting on a fully-healthy lineup, the Indians are right in the middle of the road as a team offensively, but are more than capable of being a top-five offense.
