When the Warriors were going for their record season, they were playing every game at the end of the season like it was a one and done playoff game but then they weren't able to get over the line in the NBA finals when they really should have. I guess the Indians will be able to take their foot off the gas once the streak ends and they have secured the division and any potential home field advantages. Still a 22 game win streak is amazing in this day and age...
jack presley wrote: » I think a winning streak in baseball like this should be admired because of the whole issue of match ups. You could have your no.5 starter up against an opposition's no.1 or whatever so being able to win so many games in a row is an amazing achievement.

Set a record or have their streak broken, then give the players some rest.
