The Cleveland Indians are on an amazing winning streak of 21 games and counting. Although the streak is nothing short of spectacular, for the Indians a championship is the only thing that will satisfy this outstanding team in the 2017 season. They suffored a gut wrenching loss to the Chicago Cubs in the World Series last year after blowing a 3 games to 1 lead.
Even though Cleveland is just a few more victories away from gaining their second straight AL Central crown, it is not simply their only goal as they push forward in their quest to dominate the sport. They won the pennant too last year and doing that again won’t be enough to satisfy them as the franchise’s last World Series crown is now just a faint memory and a feat they achieved way back in 1948. This season MUST end with a World Series Championship.
This 21 game winning streak has experts in agreement that the Indians are currently baseball’s most complete team. The epic streak can be contributed to the fact that everything is working. Cleveland’s offense has been at the top of its game and the defense has stopped opponents dead in their tracks. The bullpen’s specialty has been locking down games, despite the fact that Andrew Miller has been on the disabled list.
The Indians have some of the top players in MLB this year while many are in the running for MVP status. Jose Ramirez, Corey Klubar, and Fransisco Lindor have all met and exceeded expectations and are on the MVP chase, with Ramirez receiving a lot of attention in particular. Ramirez and Lindor have played a pivitol role in giving the Cleveland Indains the 2nd highest on base % in the league at .340.
Corey Klubar is leading the starting pitchers on the team with a 2.44 ERA. The Indians pitiching staff as a whole is leading the league with a 3.37 ERA. Klubar is 16-4 on the year and has an incredible WHIP (Walks+Hits Per Innings Pitched) of .87.
The only question left is not whether the Indians will win their division this year, but rather will they complete their quest to claim title to this years championship? Only time will tell.
