Write it down. The Indians still have a shot at winning the whole dang thing.
Much like the 2016 Cleveland Indians, a deep run at the World Series isn’t going to be easy, and it’s compounded by a devastating injury to a key player. Where 2016 Carlos Carrasco supposedly ended the Indians’ postseason dreams when he took a comebacker off Ian Kinsler, José Ramírez similarly broke his hamate bone on a missed swing last week.
There’s no need for a doom and gloom session this year, though. And frankly, there’s no time.
Unlike 2016, the Indians don’t have the division sewn up by mid-August.
