Just when it looks like the Indians are turning the corner and perhaps about to go on a long streak - along comes a left-handed pitcher.

They don’t have much time to regroup, as today there is a 12:10 matinee featuring Return of the Klubot. Get to your seats early - no one will be seated during the terrifying “Wipeout Slurveball” scene.
