Some relevant numbers on the Indians

Posted on April 21, 2009 by Pat McManamon

Anthony Castrovince of mlb.com provides the following stats to put the Indians start in perspective:

Starting pitchers have thrown 65 2/3 innings, less than 5 1/3 per game.

The bullpen has thrown 44 1/3 innings.

The bullpen ERA is 6.50.

Kerry Wood has been in one save situation.

Writes Castrovince: "With numbers like that, it doesn't matter that the Indians are leading the AL in runs scored per game."

True that.

    I can't think that anyone, anywhere in the land of Cleveland Indians fans is surprised by those statistics at all.

    I'm more concerned that Cliff Lee's middle name is "Phifer."
