Wow. What a game and what a series. Losses aren’t fun, especially when your team had the lead in the late innings, so let’s review what just happened over the last few days and I think you’ll see reasons for optimism:
- The Astros played the 2016 AL Champions, who were on the verge of winning the 2016 World Series. This team, the Cleveland Indians, only got better during the off-season with the additions of Edwin Encarnacion and a healthy Michael Brantley.
- Suffice it to say, the Indians were one of the best teams in the AL on paper (if not the best) heading into the 2017 season.
