Indians Offense Frozen on Frigid Day as Royals Top Bauer and Tribe 1-0; Three Takeaways

3. Mother Nature Not Doing Any Favors

Today’s game started at 4:10pm and the temp was announced at 37 degrees, but walking around Progressive Field it felt more like it was in the mid-20’s with the slight breeze blowing in stopping nearly anything hit in the air.

Fans want to complain as to why teams in the east coast start the season at home in cold temps even with snow at times swirling around, but consider the Indians second home game of 2017 was played on April 12th of last year, and it was a 6:10pm start and the game time temp was still 54 degrees.

Sometimes you just have to overcome, and the Indians offense can’t make the excuse that they were hitting all that great on the road out west and came home to freezing temps. They were not hitting out west all that well, and now they are not hitting much at all at home, putting up just six hits on the day.

Here’s hoping that the temps will start to even out as the 10-game homestand continues, and that the bats will start to get going with it.
