What can we learn from the Indians’ loss in the American League Championship Series?
Just this: if you have two aces on your pitching staff, they better pitch like aces in the postseason.
The Indians’ two aces, C.C. Sabathia and Fausto Carmona were Cy Young Award-caliber pitchers in the regular season, but they were no-shows in the ALCS.
Sabathia and Carmona combined to start four games in the ALCS. The Indians didn’t win any of them. Given that, it’s amazing that the Indians even managed to reach a seventh game.
The Indians got zero wins from their two aces, and a dismal showing by their No.3 hitter Travis Hafner. Those are a lot of things going wrong for a team trying to win a series against an opponent as good as Boston.
