The First Half for the Indians – Four Takeaways from the Good and Bad (Part One)

1. A First Half MVP Outing from JRam

While folks in and out of the Indians organization probably figured that Jose Ramirez would have another solid season in 2018, NO ONE could have expected him to put up the numbers that the Tribe first half MVP has done to this point.

He’s hitting .302 with 29 homers and 70 runs batted in, tied with JD Martinez of the Red Sox for the most HR’s in baseball, and he’s just the 5th player ever with 25 homers and 20 stolen bases at the All-Star Break.

Ramirez, along with All-Star teammate Franicsco Lindor are two players that make the game fun, they hustle 110 percent, they play till the final strike, and they seem to always have fun doing it – and by the way they are both great at it.

If Ramirez even comes close to repeating the numbers in the second half, you can’t ignore that he’ll be right at the top for the AL MVP Award.

Back to the ASG for the 2nd time in my career. I’m very thankful for everyone who has been supporting me in this journey including my family, friends, teammates, the Dolan Family, the entire Indians organization, and most importantly the Indians fans #RollTribe pic.twitter.com/Xbs1f0dNVi
