Before I get into this silliness, it must be stated that all this is brazen supposition, small sample size massaging and intense fandom oozing through a modicum of analysis. Twenty-six innings from a post-surgery soft tosser isn’t really much to measure on, and so many peripherals for Josh Tomlin speak to everything going sour sooner rather than later. All but two runs he’s allowed have been from a bases-empty home run. That’s insane – eventually someone is going to be on base. That, and the fact that he’s faced moribund or slumping offenses in his four starts, kind of temper the hope he’s injecting into the Tribe faithful so far this season.
