Tribe are playin some good baseball to start the season. Pretty sure I've never said that in my life.

Maybe every season should start in July?

They had some hot starts in a couple of Wedge’s lean years and under Acta. Of course, those are close to a decade-plus ago. Definitely been slow starters under Francona.

Starting pitching has been great and the offense has been alright. Definitely still in wait-and-see mode on the bullpen. Hopefully the offense and starters can build and hold some big leads so Tito can see what he’s got with some of the newer/younger guys in the pen and decide on who he trusts most down the stretch and into the postseason.

Unfortunately the only way to prove you are taking a starter out too early is to take them out too late.

That said - every game the Tribe wins makes me that much more certain we won't finish this season.

The Indians have placed catcher Roberto Perez on the injured list, skipper Terry Francona tells reporters including MLB.com’s Mandy Bell (via Twitter). Outfielder Daniel Johnson will take the open roster spot.

Perez is dealing with an injury to his right shoulder. There’s no indication as of yet as to the seriousness. For the time being, he’ll take at least a week off before determining the next steps.

The Indians had already brought in Beau Taylor to cover for Perez. Taylor will pair with Sandy Leon behind the plate. The Cleveland organization will surely at least consider adding another catcher to the 60-man pool.

The real concern here is that Perez could miss substantial time. That’d be a significant blow to the Indians. The 31-year-old is off to a rough start in 2020 but last year turned in 449 plate appearances of league-average hitting while delivering well-regarded glovework behind the dish.
