Beautiful retro-inspired baseball stadium?
Check
Miserable pitching staff?
Kirk Sarloos never hit 90 on the radar. The Charlotte Knights made his pitch look like it was sitting on a t-ball stand.
Check
Sketchy defense?
When the Knights were at bat, a swing and a miss was rate, the old ole defense was not. Two errors were generous, there were multiple missed plays that should have been made.
Check
All or nothing offense?
Andy Marte had a sterling batting average going into the game. A sign of hope for his career? Judging by yesterday, his bat is still to slow and his pitch recognition are still not major league ready.

Maybe it was just a bad day. The Indians do have a lot of prospects in the minors and even without them, the stadium is stunning. On a perfect spring evening, there are few better places to spend your time so it is hard to complain. Of course a little reason to cheer wouldn't have been bad either.
