CLEVELAND — They have been unsightly at times, even unwatchable.
The Cleveland Indians have been sloppy defensively, their offense has endured long spells of dormancy, and the rotation has shuffled through pitchers like a revolving door.
And yet the Indians enter the All-Star break at the .500 mark. Maybe the club’s record portends a spike in play after the Midsummer Classic. Maybe it serves as evidence that this is simply an average team.
