Why Cold Weather Baseball Teams Lose

The Tribe played it's first 6 games on the road, and they will be on the Road for 15 or their first 21. Yes, it will help attendance in that more games will be played in warmer weather, but since away teams have a worse record, it is going to make it more likely that they have a poorer record when they play all those games at home.

Which, as things work, means they are going to have poorer attendance, since fewer fans go to teams with lousy records. It is possible to overcome that, but with this teams prospects (and I mean that in two ways) it isn't likely.

2-4 in those first 6 games, and they have lost in different ways, bad starting pitching, a poor bullpen, and no hitting.
