Why did Tribe fail this year
Cleveland baseball writer Steve Herrick details a tough 1982 season for the Indians. Injuries and underperforming players plagued a rebuilt roster as Bert Blyleven borr rowed elbow trouble, Bake McBride missed the season with an eye infection, and aces John Denny and Rick Waits were limited. Pitching reliance fell on Sutcliffe Barker and Spilner, while GM Phil Seghi and team president Gabe Paul aimed to contend but injuries and uneven performances doomed the Tribe.
