Detroit is 10-28 (.263), best in the Central. Cleveland is 2-30 (.063). Ouch. That is why Cleveland has the worst record in the league when the offense scores 3 or less.

The Cleveland pitching staff is just horrendous. They were up 9-2 at one point and barely held on to win 10-8. They are definitely going to have a fire sale at the end of the month. Too bad they are in the same division as the Tigers, because I am sure they won't be dealing with any Central teams. Probably a chance for the Red Sox and Yankees to fatten up their rosters though.

The defense pretty much sets up as if there was nobody on. Besides the catcher not throwing, the firstbaseman doesn’t hold the runner on; lessens the gap between the fielders.

At first I thought that, as my friend put it, "the fielder probably couldn't care...he plays for the Indians". Gotcha.

When a team is up by more than one and there's a man on base, the catcher often does not attempt to throw because that runner is more or less meaningless. Yeah, it happens all the time late in games.

Is that a real term? Totally random: MLB Gamecast has this to say about the runner advancing to 2nd in the bottom of the 9th of the Tribe/Sox game,

“Getz to second on fielder’s indifference”
