An Offensively Bad Weekend in Arizona Ends w/ Indians 3-2 Loss; Three Takeaways From the Loss

3. Two Subpar Pitchers Showing Up the Tribe Offense

We already talked about how poor the Indians offense was all weekend, as their approach at the plate just wasn’t as good as it was in Texas.

Two of the three Diamondback pitchers who had bad seasons a year ago were able to hold down the Tribe supposed high power offense, as Shelby Miller and Patrick Corbin didn’t seem to have many issues with the same Indians offense that put up 21 runs in three games in Texas.

Zack Greinke did the same, but he’s a pitcher who is supposed to do such things to an offense – but Miller and Corbin? Those two pitchers are the type the Indians should feast on, as they were a combined 8-27 a season ago.

Maybe it’s a wake up call for all the work this offense has to do, and hopefully after a trip back to Cleveland they can clear their heads an get ready for six games against two teams they know very well – the White Sox and Tigers.
