Turning Their Luck Around
The Indians offense is doing a much better job this season of turning defeats into victories.
A huge difference between the Indians this year and last year is the ability to rally. Thursday marked their 23rd comeback victory in 78 games (46-32); they managed just 27 comebacks en route to a 78-84 finish in 2006.
The Tribe has a .369 OBA and a .497 slugging percentage when trailing in a game this season. Those are pretty good numbers for an every day player, let alone a team. In 2006 those numbers were .336 and .447.
