Revenge Mindset Cleveland Indians ace Corey Kluber gets the start Friday night versus the Seattle Mariners, in what is his second start against Seattle this season. Coming into Friday night, Kluber has not lost since losing on Opening Day against the Mariners.Scroll to Continue But right now, Kluber is rolling so expect the same when he toes the mound against the only blemish this season.2. Production elsewhere Its very cliche to look for positives in lo ses, especially in April; however, the Dylan Bundy Jersey Indians were able to score four runs in Thursday's nights lo s, thanks to home runs from Edwin Encarnacion and Yonder Alonso. Most of the Indians line-up has been inconsistent through the first 23 games of the season, but they have been able to hit just enough home-runs (28) to give the Indians a plus-10 differential on the season and a 13-10 record. Although its April, one does have to start wondering if the Indians will be able to consistently score runs without Cameron Maybin Jersey having to rely on the long ball. This lineup has enough guys that have the ability to get timely base hits, but thus far they havent been able to strike while the iron is hot.3. Bullpen Opportunities Thursday afternoon the Indians placed bullpen specialist Andrew Miller on the 10-day disabled list. Just hours later, the bullpen gave up a late-inning game-winning double in a spot where Miller would've been used. Between losing Bryan Shaw this offseason and now Miller going on the DL, the Indians are looking for guys to step up in what is becoming an unproven Chris Young Jersey bullpen. The Matt Belisle experiment has not gone well, as right hander has an ERA of 7.36 in just seven innings of work, and Zach McAllister has struggled in his appearances as well, leaving the Tribe with opportunities for others to step up. With the amount of quality starts the Indians are receiving and the struggling offense, this is a storyline to follow in the coming weeks as the roster continues to take shape. The good news for Terry Francona and company is that we are just 23 games into the season so there is plenty of time to figure Jonathan Lucroy Jersey things out.
