Should the Indians be concerned about Corey Kluber
Manage episode 281551471 series 2850062
The Kansas City Royals finished off a weekend sweep of the Cleveland Indians after another bad start from pitcher Corey Kluber.
On Sunday, Kluber pitched just 2 2/3 innings, walking five and allowing six runs. In three starts, Kluber has now only pitched 12 innnings over three starts while giving up 11 earned runs.
On this week's edition of Leading Off with Ryan Lewis, we talk about Kluber's slow start to the season and what may be causing it.
We also talk about where the Indians standing after the sweep by the Royals. The Indians suddenly went from surviving while they wait for Jason Kipnis and Francisco Lindor to come back to struggling.
That survial mode is over, though, in part because the Indians called up veteran outfielder Carlos Gonzalez.
We also talk about Brad Miller being designated for assignment -- and being unhappy about it -- while the Indians hang on to Eric Stamets and Max Moroff.
The show this week closed with some thoughts on how the Indians will cope with the loss of starting pitcher Mike Clevinger.
